Teammates At The Poker Table

July 18, 2008

If you think that you are all alone in a poker table then why don’t you get a teammate to help you out? Team poker is something that should be done very subtly. You should not be obvious when you play team poker at the poker table. What happens if you become obvious? I am sure you know that you will certainly get kicked out of the Poker table if you do that. The other guys will smell something fishy and they will kick you out as soon as they notice that you are pulling off a stunt.

You may be wondering, how do you play team poker anyway? Here are some techniques in playing like partners or playing like a team. One way to play like a team is the chip donation. For example, if you are three players that have equal amount of chips and you are partners with the other person then you can wait for the two of you to meet up in a match. When the opponent is out of the round, you and your partner can simply go all in and then the winner will end up with twice as much chips as the opponent. Your team mate or you will have a bigger chance of winning the pot. If you have twice as much chips as the other person then you can definitely bully him or her around. If you put this in a larger scale, then it can be scarier for an opponent. If you are four at the poker table and three of you are team mates then all of you can simply give your chips to your team mate and give him or her the chance to win. When the winner emerges, you can simply divide the winnings amongst yourselves.

Another way where you can play team poker is through confrontational avoidance. This is the exact opposite of the chip donation. In the chip donation technique, you are giving your chips to your team mate. In the confrontational avoidance technique, you simply avoid all instances of going against your team mate. In case, both of you match up, you simply have to keep checking until the round is over. You should only raise and you should only up the pot if you are competing with an opponent. For example, if you are three on the table and the other one is your team mate. Whenever both of you go head to head, you simply check and check on each other. This way, any of you will only get a minimum amount of chips on each other. The nice thing about this technique is that you will always have a lot more chances of getting good cards as opposed to an opponent. In the three person table, two people getting cards will certainly have better chances of hitting straights and flushes than only one person. Two chances are certainly better than one, right? So what are you waiting for, find a team mate and pull off your stunts at the poker table as soon as you can!

How To Get Girls To Play Poker

July 2, 2008

It is funny sometimes how so many guys complain that there are not enough girls out there that play poker. The reality is that there are a lot of girls that play poker out there and there is a big chance that these lady players are pretty good. I should say that again, they are pretty and they are good. When girls get their groove on, they can be deadly at the poker table.

Now, if you are a bunch of guys that are trying to get girls to play poker at your house then you should not worry so much. First, you have to search the market for the right fish. I did not mean that literally of course. You have to find out the girls that are poker players. Well, if you are having a hard time finding poker players then you should find girls that are willing to play poker then. Do not bet on your first few games if you are teaching girls how to play or else they will hate you forever. You do not want that to happen, don’t you?

Second, you need to have an ideal environment for poker. Girls are very conscious about their surroundings. They pay attention to what they see. They pay attention to what they smell. They even pay attention to the vibe that they get from a place once they enter it. So the best thing to do if you are a guy and you are hosting a poker tournament or a poker game at your house is to make the place as poker game friendly as possible. This means that you should have all the trash taken out. You should have an appropriate poker table somewhere in the house. Play some poker music in the background so that the environment becomes better.

Third, play poker and be a gentleman. If you are overly aggressive at the poker table then girls will not like you and they will end up not going to your poker games ever again. Do you want that to happen? You don’t, right? If ever you are going to knock a girl out of the poker game, make sure that you do it in a gentle manner. You can be nice and say that you really have to do what you have to do. Unless the girl is a poker pro or a poker expert, the tables are going to be turned and the girls are the ones that will be nice to the guys.

Lastly, if you want to make girls go to your poker games then follow this very simple advice. Be well groomed, charming, and a gentleman, all at the same time. There is no excuse for being untidy in front of girls that you want to play poker with. If you are going to play poker with girls and if you want to see them play poker with you again then you should make it a point to be a nice guy.
