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
Of course the better can really select the ace every
Of course the better can really select the ace every time, but he is not permitted to turn the cards himself, or touch them at all. The dealer exchanges the card he picks up for the player's card, and again exchanges that for the third card, when apparently turning them over. The exchange is. absolutely impossible to note, and is made as follows Hold the card in the right hand between the tips of thumb and first finger close to right inner end corner, thumb on top.
Slide the free side of this card under the right side
Slide the free side of this card under the right side of the card on the table, until it is about two-thirds concealed, but half an inch exposed at the outer end. See Fig. 63. This will bring the upper, inner end corner of the table card, against the tip of the second finger.
