Bad Beats: Cursed

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:07:35 +0000

You wait for what seems like an eternity to get a playable poker, and when you do, it’s a coin flip on whether you’ll hit the flop or not, so when you get a good poker hand that actually improves on the flop, you should be sitting pretty. If you do your work properly, you’ll suck an opponent or two into the hand, maybe even get one of them to go all in. You flip over your cards triumphantly, seeing that your opponent thought you were bluffing and called you with nothing; there are only one or two cards in the deck that could help him.

You sit back and think about what you’re going to do, now that you’re the chip lead, and then the turn gives him one of the two cards he needs. No problem, you think, until the river shows that one last card that he needed to win.

What really sucks about bad beats (besides the money that you just lost) is that even if you do everything right, there’s one thing that you can’t control-those lousy cards. You can’t help but feel like there’s some kind of curse on you when the one thing that depends wholly on luck turns on you. The best you can do is to try to build your stack back up and remember that it happens to the best of Texas hold em poker players.

Way before the advent of Texas hold em’s massive popularity on the TV and attention of the world of poker games, seven card stud once ruled the roost as the most played variant of poker games in the world. Though its somewhat taken a backseat to its bigger brother, there’s still more stud action now than ever perhaps, with casinos online and brick and mortar across the country offering live cash games and tournaments to the stud player with the biggest grasp.

The basic strategy for playing stud is that all players at the table receive two face down cards and one face up to start. The player with the best hand showing (or high card) then brings in the action. After a round of betting, face-up cards are then dealt to each player still involved in the hand, and betting continues. The seventh and final card to the players still in the hand is dealt face down and after this final round of betting, the players show down their hands to see who has the best five card poker online hand. This is the basic layout of the game, but the odds and strategy of each street are as varied and subtle as the complexities of hold em. erience6� erxY�[tting in the hours and by supplementing that time reading tips and tricks in poker books and poker forums, as well as watching those better than you putting their poker breakdown and math skills in action.

Deep Stack Strategy

admin — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 14:08:23 +0000

Texas hold em online poker tournaments can vary from small buy-ins to expensive fees. Typically the higher the entry fee, the bigger the starting chip stacks are. Many casual players are acquainted with more standard types of tournaments where the starting stacks are usually 100x the big blind. Some tournaments, like a sit-n-go, start with even smaller stacks in relation to the big blind.

When you play deep stack tournaments, where the stacks are 300x the blinds, you have to remember that the poker game is going to more complex. Deep stack players expect to be in the game for awhile so you rarely will see a big bet or all-in pre-flop in this game. There will be plenty of hands that go past the turn card to showdown. When all the players have deep stacks to begin with, you must figure out how to out-play your opponents without putting a large portion of your stack at risk.

When you play in a deep stack, you should be more conservative with starting hands like A-K, which you might ordinarily play fast with a pre-flop all-in or huge raise. There is more likely to be good pot odds in deep stack contests that will warrant calling by other players.

Deep stack tournaments are conducive to multi-way pots especially early in the event. Adjust your play accordingly. Although no player ever wants to be short-stacked, it’s an even more painful liability early on a deep stack poker tournaments.

Lose Well

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 16:28:16 +0000

In online poker , as in every aspect of life, there are many unspoken rules of etiquette, and those rules are never more apparent than when they’re broken. There are rules for just about every situation in online poker , ranging from mundane rules like betting order to common courtesies like not berating another opponents’ play, but the ones that stand out the most are the rules that cover the most emotional aspects of the game. Luck is one of the most frustrating parts of poker because it’s the only thing that you don’t have control of. If you make all the right moves and your opponent makes all the wrong ones, you can still lose if the cards go his way. You can’t help that, but you can help how you react to it. When you lose to a bad beat, don’t lose your sense of class and freak out. The World Series of Poker is rife with people yelling and jumping around when they get outdrawn. It’s okay to show your disappointment, but get up and shake your opponents’ hand and congratulate him on his good luck. If you have a problem with losing gracefully, just remember the last time you won with a bad beat, and it’ll soften the blow.

Bingo Supplies Should Sell for Less at Your Bingo Concession

admin — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:03:31 +0000

Bingo supplies is an interesting business. As a distributor of bingo game supplies , we see a lot of good bingo managers, and a lot bingo managers that struggle. One mistake that I think a lot of bingo managers make with their bingo operation is running a high cost bingo concession.

For instance, some bingo managers feel that if they buy a bingo marker for $1.00, they must charge at least $1.50 or some other number to their bingo players. If they buy a bingo cushion for $20.00, they think they have to charge at least $25.00. After all, when you’re in business, you buy something, mark it up to a higher price, and then you sell it, right?

Well, in the case of a bingo concession,

I don’t think so. I am a firm believer that a bingo concession should not operate to make much, if any, profit. Instead, a bingo concession should act as a “loss leader”, or at least like a “break-even leader” for the entire bingo. Instead of looking to make a $0.50 profit on a bingo marker, most bingo concessions should look at the bigger picture. Your bingos profit centers should be your bingo paper , electronic handhelds, pulltabs, and other gaming products, not your bingo concession items. Low priced bingo game supplies such as bingo daubers , bingo chips, bingo bags, bingo cushions, etc. should be used to attract new bingo players and keep existing bingo players at your bingo.

I’ve heard many stories about bingos getting more bingo players to attend with low cost bingo supplies . New bingo players frequently will show up to your bingo (and skip another bingo) because of a low-priced concession. And, both new and existing bingo players that save some money on bingo supplies will often enjoy spending that savings on additional electronic bingo cards, more bingo paper , and/or pulltabs. These bingo items, not the bingo supplies at your bingo concession, should be a bingo chairperson’s best profit makers. Think about it. There’s a reason many casinos in Las Vegas will give out free food to people sitting at slot machines. In this regard, bingo is no different.
