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 as many as three cards of the same suit
If as many as three cards of the same suit turn up among the five community cards, it's almost a sure bet that some player in a six- or seven-handed game will possess a flush. Should a pair turn up in the center, someone is pretty sure to possess a full house. As a matter of fact, without three cards of the same suit turning up, flushes occur with considerable frequency. A high full house or four of a kind will win 90% of all pots.
Cincinnati Ohio
Cincinnati Ohio In this variation of Cincinnati, the lowest-rank card of the five community cards in the center and all those of the same numerical value are wild. The only really good hand is five of a kind. Flushes and straights rarely stand up. A low four of a kind has a 50% chance of winning.
