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
Is your hand dead?
Is your hand dead? Do you automatically lose the dam hand? What the hell should you do? Should you say something to your dealer, or to the floor manager? You think long and hard about your sorry situation. You think harder than you’ve ever thought in your entire life. Suddenly, you get an idea. A Texas-sized cowboy poker- playing idea! A “Texas Star” of an idea. With this idea in hand, right next to your never-miss six-shooter, you plan to bet the maximum amount of money possible! You plan to make a Texas-sized raise!
Fifth round of betting:
Fifth round of betting: Bet Devlin bets $15,000 right at you, with a stupid grin on his face. Man has he got ugly looking teeth and bad breath! You call his $15,000 bet and raise him $300,000! Bet Devlin calls your $300,000 with a sardonic sickly smile. The pot now contains $676,332, more than ten times your entire life-savings.
