Chip Etiquette

Friday, 25 December, 2009

Any time you play with real poker chips (that is: whenever you aren’t playing poker on the Internet), you should observe proper chip etiquette. Good poker etiquette can make each hand go a little faster – which is almost always good as far as your fellow players are concerned. Another advantage to chip etiquette is that you are more likeable to other players. When you treat your chips like an experienced poker player, the other people at the table are more willing to treat you like an experienced poker player.

Who's the Best Poker Player in the World?
Trying to establish the best poker player in the world is a tough task, with so many factors to consider. Even when looking at more specific areas, let’s take the best tournament player in the world as an example, there is still much cause for debate.

Blackjack Hands - Twelve Against A Two
It’s a disappointing situation at the blackjack table, to see the casino dealer showing a 2 when you’re looking at a 12. You’re frightened of taking a card because of the seemingly inevitable picture card and it can be a frustrating hand to play. Let’s sort out once and for all how to play this most irritating of blackjack hands.

Football Betting: Form Or Motivation?
A key factor which many people consider when placing a bet is form. When betting on horse races for example, a quick glance at a given horse's recent results is without doubt an action undertaken by most punters. It’s tempting to think along the same lines when betting on football matches, but there are enough other variables when thinking about a team’s starting eleven, squad members and the added pressure of performing before tens of thousands of vocal supporters to make form just one small piece of the puzzle when making an educated guess as to a match’s outcome.

Know Your Outs and Pot Odds
Most poker players, even complete novices, will be aware of the concept of pot odds. To become a long term winner at poker, it is essential to put your chips into the pot only when receiving the correct price (or better). As luck evens itself out over time, if you only ever contest pots that offer better than your true odds of winning, you will make a long term profit at poker.

Understanding Expected Value
The term “Expected Value” or “EV” relates to the chances you have of winning the pot, in comparison to the percentage of money you have to put into it. It is a key element of the game for players who win at poker long term because they understand that if the odds are in their favour, even when they lose one hand occasionally, overall they will continue to win money.

Making Your Slot Machine Play More Rewarding
Whether you have a favourite local casino or prefer to play online, playing slot machine games can be great fun. The slot machines are a favorite at any casino, and for good reason. With just a single coin, slot machines promise big payouts and even if you do not win big, you can still have a lot of fun along the way.

NL Tournament Coin Flip Situations
When playing in a No Limit Hold’em poker tournament, you will almost certainly be faced with at least one coin flip situation, where your tournament life hangs in the balance.
