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
Draw Poker High Spades
Draw Poker High Spades This is a side bet at Draw Poker between two or more players that one will hold a higher-ranking spade card than any of the other players in his first five cards dealt. Players announce the approximate value of their hands—for example, a player says, "I have a low spade." The other player says, "I have a high spade," then shows it to all players betting on spades. The reason for this is not to expose too many cards. Although spades is a popular bet at Draw Poker, it often exposes a player's hand and gives other players, not betting on spades, a slight advantage in the game. This type of spade side betting affords no opportunity for skillful play and is generally played by professional or big-time Poker gamblers.
Progressive Draw Poker
Progressive Draw Poker If you think standard Draw Poker Jacks or Better or Jackpots is too slow a betting game and you'd like bigger pots without increasing the betting limits, then this is your game. Progressive Draw Poker is very popular in England, where it is known as Jackpots. It is also a favorite at men and women's social and private weekly games in this country.
