Free Poker Games Skills - Watching and Assessing Board Cards
In Children Toys of Advisor (February 28, 2010 6:47 am)
Whatever type of poker you’re playing, free poker games, pay poker or poker with friends for fun, watching the cards which make the flop is so important, especially when you’re new to the game.
As the shared cards on the table are played by all of the players in a game, there is always a chance that another player is holding the same cards as you do, and hold a higher kicker. For example: Two pair is a very common hold in hold’em. Let’s suppose that player A has two sixes in the hole. That’s a turning hand, because there’s a damn good chance he’ll get one more to make trips, and he’s going to get three cards in the flop instead of one at a time to see if he has the ability to get that other six.
The turn comes an eight, eight, and deuce. Now Player A has sixes and eights. Right now, he’s a favorite over an ace, king because there are two more cards to come, and a player with an ace, king must catch one of those cards to beat Player A’s hand.
Along comes a ten. Player A still holds the best hand. Player B has tens and eights with an ace kicker. Since only five of the seven cards are played to make a hand, Player A has eights and tens with a six kicker. He now has a three pair, which are useless now. If that last ten hadn’t hit, Player A would have had a hand, but Player B who didn’t have anything to begin with, wins the pot on the basis of his ace kicker.
If you are new to hold’em, have a go at playing free poker games and see how you get on before betting any real money on the cash tables.
