Gutshot Straight Draw Poker

Poker is an exciting game for those who play it since you will not be against the house but other players. Of course, in the long run, there is the big possibility of winning big.

As you improve your game and win some money, always keep you ego in check. Looking at the statistics, only a small number of people really succeed or make it big time in poker and majority lose. It is the reality of the game, one wins, and other people will lose chips or money. Of course, the house takes some of the earnings.

Around the poker table of players with equal skills, each player expects to lose some because of the money that goes in rake. If you want to win in poker, you need to have a better set of skills than the other players and also be good enough to beat whats been raked.

You cannot be a winner overnight. It is a tough game. There are players who have been playing the game for months and years but still cannot be considered as winning players. You cannot win in poker by just reading books and articles. To be a real winner, you need to practice, develop your poker skills, and have some patience.

If you are doing in one kind of poker, it does not follow that you will also be doing good in other forms of poker. If you dominate your friends on your Saturday night home poker sessions, it does not mean that you will do the same in a more competitive setting of a casino. There are also ring game poker players who do not do good in tournaments or vice versa.

It will be a good practice to know and monitor your poker statistics. This way you can analyze which kind of poker you play well. You need to accept the numbers if they tell you that you consistently lose in certain poker games.

Poker can be fun and profitable. You just need to develop the right mindset and skills and be true enough to admit if you are losing.

You can’t win every game of poker. There will be times that you stand up with more chips and there will be times when you leave the table with less money.

Poker involves a lot of skills but there is still a big portion where luck plays its influences if you can with a pot. Luck will always be there. Luck will most of the time can get the better of us.

How to Face a big downswing

There will be times when we need to do 2 or 3 buy ins in a tournament or sometimes losing more than that can stretch more than we can imagine. Bad cards and unlucky draws will be there.

You can not do anything even when you flip the coin and go all in and you still lose all your chips because you miss the flops you need or the right draws just don’t come. There will be times when you can’t make things happen even for your Ace and King.

You need to understand that there are downswings in poker that you cannot do anything about. No matter how much you read, the downswing will still be there.

You really don’t have to change your style o play but you need to remember that every poker player will have a big downswing one time or another. These will be a big, monstrous variance slapping you for several poker sessions.

What do you need to do? Take a break. Don’t play poker for about a week so you can snap out of your negative thoughts because of the downswing. This can help you get back on track. Poker is ups and downs and you will learn to adjust as you gain more experience.

To be honest, Peter Eastgate got EXTREMELY lucky in this hand hitting that set on the river. Ylon Schwartz played this very well, made a bet that was uncallable with any other river card, and I just feel sick when I see this play…

HORRIBLE.

I kind of like Liz Lieu because she has boobies and so on, but her poker skills are way, way, way below par. There’s not too many hot women in poker, but Liz is a hotty!

Probably the best poker player (and Gin Rummy player) to ever walk the face of the earth, Stuey Ungar was also one of the most tragic people to ever win a World Series of Poker Main Event. I always feel a little sick seeing any Stuey footage on YouTube…

RIP STU!

The term ‘misdeal’ is often used to describe a mistake on the part of the dealer in the poker game which results in the cards being dealt in an incorrect manner. The result of the misdeal is that the cards have to be returned to the dealer for being dealt once again. The cards are first shuffled once more and then a new hand is started, with the players receiving a new set of cards.

For the mistake to be caught it is mandatory that it has been recognized and brought to notice prior to more than one player having already made a move. That is to say, the misdeal should be declared before any two of the players have begun to use the cards that they have received. In this article we shall discuss some of the circumstances which are categorized as misdeals in a poker game.

One of the primary causes behind a misdeal occurs if the dealer unknowingly reveals two or more than two of the playing cards. Since the cards have to be dealt in secrecy, that is, no player should be aware of the cards being held by another player, revealing the cards can prove to hold up the game. Also another error concerning cards being revealed occurs if the dealer reveals the first or the second card of the deck by wrongly dealing them such that they face upwards on the table.

If a player receives an erroneous number of cards, that is to say, more or less than the number decreed per round, it is classified as an error. However, there is an exception to this rule which occurs in case one of the players receives an extra card that turns out to be the highest card in the game. The player is allowed to retain this card only if he or she has been dealt the card in keeping with the proper sequence of dealing.

Lol at one point, Vanessa says: “that didn’t make any sense to me”… and then Tiffany Michelle goes after a pause… “Yes, that doesn’t make any sense to me either…”. LOL
