Casino und Poker in Deutschland

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Auch Deutschland hat einige Casinos in denen man verschiedene Glücksspiele spielen kann.
Darunter fällt auch Poker.
Poker ist ein Kartenspiel das mit Pokerkarten gespielt wird.
Bei diesem Spiel spielt man mit Geld oder Spielchips.
Beim Pokern geht es darum, möglichst viel Geld oder Chips zu gewinnen, wozu man natürlich viel Glück braucht.
Die Anzahl der Spieler richtet sich nach der Variante des Pokerspiels.
Es gibt verschiedene Varianten, den Spielablauf und die Informationen die ich Ihnen gebe handeln von Texas Hold’em.
Zu beginn erhält jeder Spieler eine Karte, die er aufgedeckt vor sich legt, der Spieler mit der höchsten Karte beginnt mit dem Karten geben. Er ist der Dealer. Die ersten zwei Spieler links neben Ihm setzen den ersten Einsatz (Small Blind & Big Blind).
Die Höhe des Big Blind´s ist meistens die Höhe des Mindesteinsatzes und die Höhe des Small Blind´s entspricht der Hälfte des Big Blind´s.
Der Spieler links neben dem jenigen der den Big Blind gesetzt hat beginnt die Runde, der Big Blind Spieler beendet die Runde, sprich er setzt als letztes.
Erhöht ein Spieler den Einsatz müssen alle anderen mitgehen und ebenfalls erhöhen oder aber aussteigen, wenn er meint, dass seine Karten nicht gut genug sind. Bleibt der Einsatz gleich, kann der Spieler auch checken, sprich er bleibt im Spiel, setzt aber nichts mehr und erhöht auch nicht.
Ist die Runde beendet werden die Karten offen gelegt, dies wird als Showdown bezeichnet, der Spieler mit dem besten Blatt gewinnt den Pot. Haben zwei oder mehr Spieler die gleichstarke Hand, wird der Pot durch die Spieler geteilt.
Die Hand wird nach Höhe der Kombination bewertet, das heißt, je geringer die Chance ist, das jemand anderes die gleiche Hand hat, desto besser.
Hat ein anderer Spieler die gleiche Kombination, entscheidet die Beikarte (die zweiter Karte auf der Hand).
Die höchste Karte gewinnt (egal welche Farbe).
Folgende Kombinationen sind möglich:

Ein Paar, Zwei Paar, Drilling, Straße, Flush, Full House, Vierling, Straight Flush, Royal Flush.
Die Aufzählung entspricht nach Höhe des Gewinns, das heißt, ein Drilling ist höher als ein Zwei Paar oder ein Straight Flush ist höher als ein Drilling.
Insgesamt gibt es beim Texas Hold’em 7 Karten mit denen gespielt wird. Zwei auf der Hand und fünf die in der Mitte liegen. Daraus ergibt sich dann später der Gewinn.
Bei einer Straße kann das Ass in zwei Weisen verwendet werden, entweder als höchste Karte über dem König oder als niedrigste Karte, also als eins.
Soviel zum Thema Poker Spiel. Mittlerweile kann man in jedem Casino Poker spielen.
Jedes Casino bietet verschiedene Varianten des Spiels an.
Poker spielen kann man aber nicht nur real sondern auch in Online Casinos, so können Sie vor dem realen spielen in einem Casino erst einmal zu Hause ein wenig üben.

How to Help Your Friends While Gambling

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Gambling with my friends has been among some of the best memories and fun times that I can remember, going to casinos or having poker games at home we have always looked out for each other, and I find this extremely important for finding out whom your true friends are.

Going out with friends to casinos and to go drinking is always fun, but it is important to pay attention to your friends and likewise for them to pay attention to you. Getting wasted and having a good time is one thing, getting wasted and spitting on a cop is another so having good friends that will look out for you can keep you out of trouble in the lane for excitement.

When traveling or gambling at the casinos whether it is at a land based casino or one of the best online casinos, it makes no difference, except it makes it harder to spit on a cop while at home, it is very important to watch how much each other drinks.

Sure, only you can know how much you can handle, but if your friend is about to puke on the roulette table and you just stand there and laugh, it will not be funny when the casino throws you out as your friend throws up.

Getting wasted seems to be the theme here, although I intended to write about how to take care of your friends while gambling it appears that gambling and drinking in this article are the same.

Only your friends can know when it is time to say good bye for you, especially if you are really trashed. So ask your friends to look out for you, generally I like to ask my friends that if I am about to hit on the guy sweeping the floor with his toothless grin and knee high socks and comb over bald head, that this is usually a sign that I need to go home. Having your friends look out for you while taking part in actions like this can stop a lot of embarrassment and confusion as to what exactly happened the other night.

Having your friends there to look out for you and you to look out for them is the way to go. I have stopped a friend that was about to urinate on the wall outside of the casino as a cop was about to stop him and write him a ticket for public urination. Like I said, and then I had to stop my friend from making real trouble where all it was that he wanted was to relieve himself. Or to start a fight with a cop. Can not really say.

Also when you are gambling and drinking it is good to look out for each other to know that no one has spent too much money or that some one is starting to gambling into their savings. This is what friends are for, helping friends out.

Friends are important to help out, whether it is at the casino or at the ballpark or even just sitting in a park or wherever they may need your help.

An Introduction To Poker Slang

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

If you’re new to the world of poker, you want to play desperately but you don’t want to look too “green” then you should probably brush up on some poker terminology. You don’t have to learn how to speak a new language to look like a pro because learning just a few terms can make a few fear you at the table!

Some of the most common terms like trips, quads or ole one eye are pretty obvious pointing to three of a kind, four of a kind and the notorious one eyed jack. When you’re looking to impress some avid poker players, brushing up on a few terms that aren’t so common will do the trick.

Let’s look at a few hands you may have and the correct terminology of portraying a big boy at the table. After all, the last thing you want to say when you see two aces in your hand is, “I have a pair” so let’s look at the terminology for pairs.

A – A= these are called “Pocket Rockets”.
K – K= these are called “Cowboys” or “Elvis Presley’s” and some times “Penn & Teller”
Q – Q= often called “The Twins”, “The Ladies”, “The Hilton’s” or “The Dirty Duo”.
J –J = sometimes Jacks are called “Jokers”, “Hooks” or “Jerky Joe’s”.

These valued cards often have some wacky names and it may seem hard to keep up with some of them but you’ll soon realize that’s not so bad compared to some others. For instance, take a look at the slang on these babies.

2 – 2= “Ducks” or “Deuces”
3 – 3= “Prom Night” or “Crabs”
6 – 9= “Top or Bottom”, “Delight” and “Big Lick”.
K – J= “KoJak”
A – J= “Apple Jacks” or “Apple Fritter”

The terminology listed above can help you but only to an extent.

To be seriously efficient in a poker game, learn a few other terms to show that you are experienced and you mean business, everyone bluff’s sometimes. These terms are usually used in context when referring to a stage of play.

What is the flop?
The flop as it’s called is actually the first stage of play involving the community cards when the first three are laid upon the table in any type of “Holdem” style of poker. There are several ways the word flop is used and if you’ve watched televised poker play, it can be confusing.

What does it mean when someone says:

“He’s seeing the flop”= generally speaking this means that “he” the player will stay in the game, stay in the pot or the ante until “he” sees the first three cards—the flop.

“He’s hitting the flop”= this is a phrase that any poker player loves to hear and it means that the flop cards which are the first three of the community laid in the center of the table are going together well with the hole cards the player is holding that were dealt face – down to “him”. The chances of putting together a winning poker hand is looking pretty good.

“The post – flop is up”= basically this describes an action such as a bet most commonly. A player has bet post flop; the player has waited after he sees the post flop cards and means that the player didn’t bet blind.

“It’s coming down to the river”= the river refers to the last hand of Holdem style poker game. The very last card laid upon the table face – up, is the river.

Learning some of these terms should get your foot in the door to a good poker game but after you’re in it’s up to you. Have fun playing poker and even more fun learning some of the new slang.
