LET’S DO THIS HOMBRES!

Before its incredible rise in popularity following Moneymaker’s victory, Texas hold’em had been exposed as the expert’s game of choice in the movie Rounders in 1998. In this poker variation, each player holds two cards; after four betting rounds, everyone at the table eventually shares a board of five additional cards. The best five-card hands are then made from the seven available cards (two in hand, five on board), with the winner being chosen by standard poker hand rankings. Hold ‘em is a very simple game, and the average player can pick up the basics in a matter of hours. However, the balance of information in the game allows the better players to put themselves into advantageous positions more so than any other poker variant. Compare this to a game like seven-card stud, where the player must keep track of every card that comes out, or five-card draw, where the player has no information on the other player’s hand, save for patterns in betting. Thus, novices and experts alike have their own reasons for enjoying this particular version of poker. Professional poker player and commentator Mike Sexton is famously quoted as saying, “Texas Hold’em takes a minute to learn but a lifetime to master.”

As Texas hold’em blossomed, players realized that they could win considerable money if they dedicated time and effort to the game. They had just witnessed an amateur win millions of dollars in poker’s premiere event, and they realized that anyone with a stack of chips had a chance at the title. At first, the industry was infused with so much money from green players that skilled players were able to make fortunes for themselves almost instantaneously; even intermediate players were making enough to live on. Professional poker players became celebrities and established a new ‘dream job’ for men and women everywhere to aspire towards.

Even though the poker craze has slowed in recent years, the game is still enjoying unprecedented interest. The current success Texas hold’em in particular is predicated on several factors: the simplicity of the game, the advantages available to skilled players, the perceived glamorous life of professionals, and the constantly evolving strategies and techniques. Most importantly, though, is that poker offers every player the chance to compete and even win on the biggest stage available – the World Series of Poker Main Event.

Pocket 3’s, Pocket 6’s, Pocket eights and pocket tens. The tens take the main pot, the eights take the side pot.

I bought in for about €750 and cashed out €600. Every hand I was against that woman I missed (or got outdrawn after two really bad calls and a river against my KK) — but at the end all that cash went to the other players who didn’t get outdrawn when she made street after street calls with like jack high or bottom pair.

She donked off €5500 in two hours, EVERYONE was winner except for me.

Bah!

I was in the chip lead of a LIVE tournament (€50 freeze-out, no limit Hold’em) with 16 players left. Two tables. I was dealt aces on the button and raised it up 3BB. My opponent, somewhat middle-stacked went all in behind me and I called him down. He had KQ suited and made his flush on the turn. I had the ace for his flush, but the river didn’t do me justice.

That was bad. But the hand after, I got aces again.

I raised it up again in late position (I was no longer chip leader, but was still above average) and one of the players that covered me re-raised me the to about 12BB. I insta-shoved hoping he’d just lay it down giving me a decent pot. He called though. He had pocket sevens and told me “I thought you were steaming”. I was steaming, but that’s something else, right. Anyway; dude spikes a seven right on the flop…

I was so sick I almost threw up, especially when the sevens guy started declaring how awesome that was and how bad I played my aces knowing he would call me thinking I was steaming. No sh*t sherlock, as if I minded a call by someone 4-to-1 behind.

Donkball ended up winning the thing. Pretty bad freaking beat.

• At some bingo web sites, you have to mark of the numbers manually on your bingo card. Therefore, it is not advisable to play 5-6 cards at one time, because this may lead to losing track of the numbers. While at some web sites, numbers are automatically marked off as they are drawn, and at such sites, you can play around 50 different bingo cards at a time. The chance to win increases if you play many cards at once.
• It is advisable to play at the bingo game where there is less number of participants, because you have a greater chance to win if there is not much competition for the jackpot. There is huge crowd on Saturday and Sunday evenings, while you will find empty rooms on Mondays and Tuesdays.
