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
Your boss wins the pot.
Your boss wins the pot. Your boss then turns over a Third Ace for Aces Full. He’s scooping in the pot and complements you on your skillful play. He saw your “fake giant raise” as a “test” to see if he would be upset by such a large bet. Unfortunately, he didn’t respond well to this brilliant gambit. You read him for a Full House and folded your Straight. He compliments your “truly masterful poker playing.”
As the poker game progresses
As the poker game progresses to the end, there are two winners, you and your boss. When the game breaks, everyone seems to be leave on a happy note, especially your boss. The next day after at work, your boss calls you into his office. He looks at you, he smiles, and then he offers you a promotion with a generous raise. He states when making you his offer, “This is not a ‘fake giant bluff’ raise.” You accept his offer of a better job and a large raise with glee.
