Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Thenas in the next shuffle the break is thrown on
Thenas in the next shuffle the break is thrown on topit brings the dealer's set in precisely the same position as the first shuffle in the four-card stock. The balance of the action is the same only that the second under-cut shuffle in-jogs one less than three times number players, instead of one less than twice number players and this is done to put the extra number of cards in the stock so that the five rounds may be dealt and leave the other sets intact for the draw. We term this example a fancy stock, as it is very rarely that an opportunity occurs for selecting three sets of four of a kind but the procedure is the same for two sets, or for sets of three, or pairs, or, in fact, for the stocking of any number or kind, with slight variation in the calculation.
The foregoing illustrations of stocking are applicable
The foregoing illustrations of stocking are applicable for Whist, Hearts, Poker, Cribbage and all games wherein the cards are dealt singly. It is much simpler to stock when the cards are dealt two or more at a time, and in this class are Euchre, Coon Can, Penuckle, varieties of All Fours, Piquet, etc. We shall illustrate the simplicity of a Euchre Stock.
