How to Win At Poker
Video Poker is a game of skill as well as luck. Most video poker
machines are programmed to pay-out up to 100% when players play
at the expert level. The vqarious Online Casinos can do this
because the vast majority of players don't play anywhere near
the expert play level required. Here are a few tips to bring
your playing closer to an expert level and improve your chances
of winning.
Poker Tips and Hints
- Play Carefully - You don't have a dealer or other
players waiting on you, so take your time and make the best
decisions.
- No Memory - The video poker machines have no memory.
The random number generator ensures it. Play each hand like
you don't remember what happened in the last hand.
- Playing Hunches - There are many who know the strategy,
but still play hunches. This is fine as long as you realize
that you are lowering your odds of winning for the pleasure
of playing the hunch. Sometimes hunches work and it feels
pretty good.
- Know the Paytables - Understanding the paytables,
and using them to find better machines, is the single most
important you can do to increase your winnings.
Bet the max - Always bet the maximum coins allowed
on every hand. If you can not afford to do this on the one
dollar online games, then step down to the quarter games first.
It is essential to have the max coins played when you finally
hit a big hand.
Discard Creatively - Online casino video poker games
are constructed with complex computations that make sure that
each shuffle of the deck is a completely random deal, but to
also make sure not to pay out more than it has taken in. To
acheive this, the online casinos take advantage of the fact
that most people play video poker in the same way that they
play regular poker.
They will keep mediocre paying hands (such as two pair) because
they were taught to do so...but think it through logically.
The best that two pair can get you is a full house, which at
best pays 15-1. Instead, go for the JACKPOT hands every time.
Throw away one of those two pairs and go for four of a kind.
Every time you draw cards you should be trying to draw one of
the following hands: Four of a Kind, Straight Flush, or Royal
Flush. It is this creative discarding that will beat the sly
video poker machines, which are expecting you to play differently.
Poker Strategy
As with any casino game, there are a number of "rules"
which will help you. These rules are as follows:
1.) Don't play cash poor: as a general rule, you should attempt
to start with 40-50 times the table limit.
2.) If you've got nothing in your hand, fold.
4.) If you've got a great hand, make them pay to see it.
5.) If the machine has you beaten, fold.
6.) The goal is to beat the machine by obtaining the highest
hand. If you acheive this, you take the jackpot.
7.) When playing video poker, always bet the maximum coins (if
possible). This ensures that you will win the jackpot (so long
as you've been lucky enough to be dealt the right cards).
8.) Remember there's an even chance that you won't better your
opening hand.
