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
The Final Show Down:
The Final Show Down: I showed my hand and the two other players looked at me and in unison said, “What a stupid jerk. You should’ve mucked your hand. Now, no one gets the Bad Beat Jackpot. You idiot!” I showed: K. J.. The Big Blind held: A. K.. The Small Blind held: 10. 10.. The board showed: A. J. A. A. 10.. The Big Blind had Four Aces and his King played in the hand. I had Aces Full over Jacks but my King didn’t play. The Small Blind hand had Aces Full over Tens and both of his cards played in the hand.
If I would have mucked my hand
If I would have mucked my hand the two other players would have qualified for the Bad Beat Jackpot, the Small Blind receiving $19,000, the Big Blind receiving $9,500 In addition, each and every player at the table (including myself) would have received over $1,000. Boy did I ever make a mistake! I really was an idiot. Really, I was! The other players at the table looked at me in disgust, I was viewed as vermin. One after another, they stood up and left the table in utter disgust. I’d created nine enemies for life.
