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
It is now just you and Grandpa
It is now just you and Grandpa Does the old coot have an Ace- High or a Pair of Aces? With Grandpa, you never know. You look at him carefully, looking for a “tell.” He just smiles back at you with his ill fitting dentures, in his kindly grandfatherly way. You delay, you think it over, and you reluctantly fold. Grandpa wins the pot. He slyly turns over his two hold cards. He has the 6. and 9 .. Grandpa looks at you, “No guts? No glory, Sonny Boy!”
He bluffed you out
He bluffed you out with weak hole cards and a strong board card. You’re upset, you feel stupid. You’re now actively planning to get revenge on Grandpa, the smelly old coot!
