Is Party Poker the next big thing in online gambling addiction? Are you a citizen of the country of Italy? Rabid Ferret answers both those questions and more!
You still suck at poker. I know, after reading my last article, you figured you’d be ready to go on to the World Series and win yourself a purty bracelet. But no, you still suck more than a cheap hooker trying to pay for law school. Why? Because you don’t know jack shit about your odds in a hand. It’s impossible to play profitably without knowing the numbers going on at the table. Contrary to what I keep telling the guys at my Friday night game, you don’t need to have a degree in statistics to figure this out (though a Ph.D. in Horribleness couldn’t hurt). So today we’re going to talk about the simple math needed to fully understand whether you should call, fold, or send a check or money order to 1337 Top Tier Tactics Ave.*
This articles is a continuation of School of Poker: Preflop play at small stakes Part 1. Today, Rabid Ferret looks at considerations for hands that fall below Group 3, but are still playable in certain circumstances.
You suck at poker. It’s ok to admit it, we all sucked when we first started. The most common reason players suck is because they play shit hands. So today we’re going to talk about playing hands that aren’t shit, which hands are the least shit, when you should play what kind of shit, and how much shit your shit is worth (i.e. whether you should limp, raise, re-raise, etc). This isn’t some type of bible that you should follow to the letter;* there are no absolutes in poker. Instead, there are guidelines like the ones in this article that give you a general idea of how to play.
Poker Night at the Inventory made its Steam debut yesterday, and within hours, millions of Team Fortress 2 players had been converted into gambling fiends. What was once a friends list full of FPS diehards was now a precursor to a series of gambling addiction interventions.
Why all the fuss? Unique unlockable items, of course. And the small hurdle of being somewhat good at poker was by no means a deterrent for the masses of players hungry for a blood soaked Pac Man watch.* But if you’re absolutely terrible at Poker Night (or just Texas Hold’em poker in general), odds are you won’t be unlocking a now-valueless Lugermorph any time soon.
Well, it just so happens yours truly is a type of poker idiot savant who’s willing to share a few tips to let you grab, nab, and backstab your way into The Prestigious Miscellaneous Item Owner’s Association…
If there’s one thing gamers of middling skill hate, it’s button mashers. We all know a button masher: a sibling, a child, a significant other, or even a mildly disabled cousin. He/she has a basic understanding of how a given game works, but when the shit hits the fan, strategy and planning give way to wildly spamming as many commands as possible with no discernable logic. Lucky for us pro, top tier gamers, these mashers rarely win.
Right?
