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
Reasonably, you’re hurt
Reasonably, you’re hurt by this tough loss. However, you want to show your kid’s, Junior and Missy, how to be a good sport at the poker table, so you politely say, “Nice hand, Grandpa,” and you start shuffling the cards. You know poker can be a tough game, especially when playing against “tough old smelly coots” like Grandpa.
Grandpa turns
Grandpa turns to the children, ”Remember, Junior and Missy, when you have top Pair, try and isolate the hand to one other player, and then keep betting until you’re beaten on the board. A rather elementary play in Seven-Card stud.” “Thanks for the lesson, Grandpa.” That’s how families play poker.
