Luck Or Skill

Изображение
Luck Or Skill In slots tournaments, most people tend to win or lose the same amount as everyone else and people rarely manage to consistently win significant sums of money. This is because slots is a game where the importance of luck predominates over the importance of skill. In the poker and online poker world things are very different. Whilst low limit games played by inexperienced amateurs might well be heavily influenced by luck, in high stakes games where the better players tend to concentrate the importance of skill comes to the fore. In top poker competitions there are successful star players just like there are in other games such as football tennis and snooker. This is not because they are simply luckier than the other players , it is because they utilise well practiced tactics and strategies to consistently outplay their competitors. They are better at reading their opponents, recalculating the odds and playing in an unpredictable manner that outfoxes the other play

Raked Over the Coals

Изображение
In games where rake is taken as a percentage of the pot, the winner’s of pots pay the rake in a very clear way, since if there was no rake those winners would be getting $60 pots instead of $57 ones. But this clear reality isn’t as simple as it seems, especially if you are thinking about the effect of the rake on your play. Recently a question was posted on the Reddit newsgroup: "How do I figure how much I am paying in a raked game?" One way to answer is simply to say add up the amount of rake from the pots you win and you have the amount of rake you paid. But that is just a results-oriented answer. The amount of rake this player causes the house to take because of his actions is more complicated than that. Rake isn’t taken instantaneously after a hand is completed and before a pot is awarded. The house takes rake incrementally during the course of the action of a pot, before a pot is awarded. At the point rake is taken, there is no winner or losers. There is only pot eq

The Protected Flop in Poker Game

The Protected Flop Most experienced poker players we met at Pokerbroz understand the concept of a protected Pot. "Don't bluff into a multi-way pot on the river." In limit poker any time there are several opponents at least one of them has you beat and will probably call, if the pot is large. The more opponents still in the hand, decreases the chance that a bluff will be successful. I want to draw a parallel to preflop play in no limit, especially tournament at the top-rated poker sites , play. In no limit Hold'em it is sometimes profitable to call a small raise with marginal cards, to see a flop, if your call cannot be reraised. If you hit the flop, you have a good chance of de-stacking your opponent, with a well disguised hand. A situation similar to the "Protected Pot" occurs if there are several limpers before you. Most players will not raise without Aces or Kings. Even players with Queens would rather see the flop cheaply and they really don't wa
