Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
“Oh look, a King for our Italian friend.”
“Oh look, a King for our Italian friend.” “Our beloved General, with the big eagles, gets a Four.” “Our Hungarian friend, Edward, draws an Eight.” “Oppie gets a Deuce. Not much respect there!” “I.I. gets, not much, but at least it’s a prime number, a Five.” “Dealer draws an Ace!” At that point General Leslie Groves explodes, “Shut up and deal, Lawrence!”
Lawrence quickly deals
Lawrence quickly deals the rest of the hand as no one bet. This time General Groves didn’t try to “buy” the pot. Lawrence had dealt himself Three Aces. The others made jokes about “Aces going around in a cyclotron and being smashed by Deuces.” But, finally, all fold in the face of Three Aces.
