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
As the order must be maintained, it is well to insist
As the order must be maintained, it is well to insist that but one card must be moved at a time. This will preserve the order, and not be likely to impress the company that there is any certain arrangement. The rules for determining the number transferred from right to left are, first The left end card will always indicate the number of the first transfer i. e.,
when the first transfer of any number of cards is made,
when the first transfer of any number of cards is made, the value or number of spots of the card at the left end will be the number of the cards that were transferred so that by turning up the left end card when the first move is made, the performer indicates the number that were transferred. On the second or any subsequent transfer, the card to turn is determined by adding the value, or number of spots, of the last card turned, to the number of the place it occupies in the row. For example, the cards, when first laid out, will stand Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three Two, One.
