Its a Draw In Poker, That Is

March 24th, 2010

Draw poker or five card draw is probably the most well known of all the poker games. Because of the high level of basic poker skills required to play it, you will not find five-card draw in most casinos any longer. There are however, variations of the traditional five-card draw that are getting more attention recently.

To play draw poker you will need a deck of cards, chips, and 2 to 8 players. At the start of the game all players ante up. This means they all place a minimal bet in the pot. The dealer will deal five cards to each player, starting with the player to their left. These cards are dealt face down.

All players will then pick up their five cards and examine the hands theyve been dealt. If any player was dealt more or less than five cards, it is considered a misdeal. At this point there is a round of betting, beginning with the player to the dealers immediate left.

After the round of betting is complete, all players that are still in the game get to choose how many cards they would like to discard in exchange for new ones. The player can trade up to three cards, unless they have an ace in which case they can trade all four other cards while keeping the ace. At most poker tables a player will be required to show their ace if they wish to exchange four cards.

If you are satisfied with your hand, you are not obligated to trade in any cards at all. If you wish to keep all of the initial cards that you were dealt it is called standing pat. You can demonstrate that you are keeping all of your cards by gently rapping the table.

After each player has made his or her exchange of cards another round of betting takes place. The betting begins with the player to the dealers immediate left. Players can check-raise before and after the draw. After all betting is complete the showdown takes place. This is when players show their cards and the player with the best hand wins. The traditional card ranking system determines the best hand.

There are a few variations of the traditional five-card draw that are fun ways to mix up a poker night. One of the most common variations is jackpots or jacks or better. In this game a player must have a pair of jacks or better in their initial five-card hand in order to open up the betting. If none of the players meet this requirement, everyone one fold and a new round of cards is dealt.

Another variation is called double draw. This poker game is almost identical to the traditional five-card draw. The only difference is that there are two rounds where players can exchange their card. Players are also given an additional round to bet after their second draw.

Lowball is an interesting variation of five card draw. Instead of the highest hand winning, the player with the lowest hand wins. The lowest hand can be defined in a few ways. Some players do not count straights and flushes when picking the lowest hand. In other games straights and flushes do count against a hand being low.

In any game of draw the player will be told ahead of time whether the joker is being used. Even though a joker is usually labeled as wild it can usually only be used to complete a straight flush or act as an ace. If it is used a part of a flush it will be the highest card.

Dream Job – Earning Your Daily Bread from Online Poker

Dream Job – Earning Your Daily Bread from Online Poker

If you spend most of your work day daydreaming behind a desk of getting home to play a few rounds of online poker, how would you feel to know it is possible to cut out that boring day job interference and play poker full time, while paying your bills? It is possible; many people support themselves and their families by heading to off to a hard days work at the online poker table. Going from poker amateur to full time poker player who brings home the bacon through their card playing is not for everyone, though. Making a living from poker requires skill, commitment, and patience.

Before you consider making a living at online poker, be realistic with yourself about your abilities. How well do you really know the game? Can you play all varieties of poker? Can you play well enough to play multiple games at once? Many full time poker players are playing up to four hands at any given moment. Do you have the ability to know when to walk away from a hand? Poker professionals only play an average of 50% of the hands that they are dealt; do you have the self control to make responsible and calculated decisions about the financial risks involved in poker and not get caught up in the excitement/emotion of the moment and blow the bank?

If you think you have the knowledge and the self-control needed to play effectively, then it is time to be realistic with yourself about the realities of life as a full time online poker player. Most poker pros will tell you this is not a get rich quick scheme. Your commitment to poker will have to take up more of your time than a normal, 9 to 5 kind of job to make the kind of money needed to support yourself, and even with a lengthy time commitment, the rewards of playing poker for a living are more about personal satisfaction than personal wealth. The financial rewards of playing poker are also up and down. Sometimes, youll be riding high and cashing in left and right. Other times, you wont be able to catch a break. Youll need to be careful during the good times to put aside some money to see you through the bad. You should also be sure you are emotionally prepared to go to work every day and lose over and over and over again without giving up.

If youre ready to deal with all of this, then the only thing you need to get started is a bank roll and a computer. The size of your initial investment doesnt have to be huge, but remember that the more money you have to play with, the more money you can win. If you start out with a small bank roll, make sure to reinvest some of the winnings into your career until you have a comfortable balance to work with. When youre just getting started, playing lots of small stakes games, instead of a few high stakes one, is the best way to go to protect your investment and keep the cash flow manageable. When your career is more stable, you can wade into the higher stakes games.

One important thing to keep in mind when you start your online poker career: like any self-employment opportunity, playing poker for a living can become all-consuming. Make an effort to keep a balance in your life with plenty of time away from the poker table. Keeping that balance in your life will keep your stress in check and make your game better.

A Snapshot of Three Top Female Poker Players in the

March 10th, 2010

A Snapshot of Three Top Female Poker Players in the World

Annie Duke is hands-down the most popular female poker player in most circles. She is a young woman on a roll, learning to play poker young, from her brother (Lederer) she decided at the age of 22 to play poker full time. Although she was studying cognitive psychology at PENN at the graduate level, she left to play poker. In all fairness, she left also to spend more time with her family, but like so many professional poker players, Annie left college in order to spend less time on papers that didnt seem relevant and to spend the time on poker instead. Though modest, she says that her being female is one of the best assets that she has at the poker table. Despite her current status, she says that a lot of men still do not take her as a serious opponent simply because she is a woman. Instead of being angry, Annie simply counts it as an advantage that she takes to the table that she has nothing to do with. She does not have to work for this advantage, its simply an advantage that the men bring to the table and she reaps the benefit of it. Annies career in poker is certainly established, but shes got a lot of her career in front of her; we might not have even seen the best of her yet!

Jennifer Harman is another one of the top female players in poker. Actually, all of the women mentioned herein are not simply top female players; they are top players who happen to also be female. It is not just in a womens only world that they beat all of their opponents. Harman, like Duke, plays with men every day and Harman also states that men often take her a little bit shy of serious simply because shes a woman. Also like Duke, Harman claims to take this as her own advantage. She also is a perfectionist, which she says helps her to learn from every mistake that she makes. Like the rest of us, she makes mistakes, both at the table and off it, and she makes her goal to learn from her mistakes. Some perfectionists are just hard on themselves when they make mistakes, but Harmans philosophy makes it so that she can benefit from her mistakes just as she benefits from the negative outlook of the men who are her opponents.

Kathy Liebert was the first woman to win a poker tournament that was worth a million dollar cash prize. Of course, she has made a deal with the 2nd and 3rd place winners that they would split the winnings, but still, in the end, she was the winner of the tournament. Of course, in the end, its not about taking the money home, its about winning the tournament—the money is a great advantage, but secondary to the title of being the first woman to win a one million dollar tournament. She studied in New York, but moved out to Las Vegas to play professionally when she was young. In addition to playing so much poker, she likes to play her odds in the stock market as well. Like the other advanced women in poker, Kathy wins by taking advantage of her strengths and by not letting anyone else interfere with her game.

These three women are inspirations to women and men alike in the poker world. There are simply not that many women in professional poker, though some people are aiming to change that, the cold hard fact is that it just hasnt happened yet. Until it does, the poker community will continue to support these three with vigor, and hopefully that will be done even if the female poker contingent widens; these three deserve all the respect and support that theyre getting, and more, for their significant accomplishments.
