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.

The corner of the Ace on the left of the fan just covers the small heart figure of the index, but fully exposes the small letter A. See Fig. 101. This arrangement can be made in a moment. The appearance is most innocent and surprisingly deceptive.
Turn the faces to the company, and then lay the three
Turn the faces to the company, and then lay the three cards face down on the table, still in the same fan position, and with the same hand. Now take up the deck, and, if desired, execute a blind shuffle, retaining top Ace. Hold deck in left hand, pick up the top card of the fan, which is the Ace of Hearts, and insert it in middle of deck.
