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
If the deck is placed before an innocent player so
If the deck is placed before an innocent player so that his hand naturally seizes the ends, the chances are in favor of his cutting to the opening. See Fig. 19. A professional will calculate on this probability when his right-hand neighbor is not an ally.
