Poker Chat. J2
Poker Chat in the Buddy Up Server. Venue: Buddy Up Server. Time: 8 PM UK time, (7 PM UTC). Duration: 1 Hour. Topic's: Poker Variations. General Chat. A weekly show is being presented in the Buddy Up server. The goal of this show is to give greater visibility to the Scorumpoker games and hopefully bring along a few more regular players. The level of play is not too high. Yet high enough with a range of players and preferred styles of play to give an eventful game. Our ambitions of beginning a tournament held weekly too has met with a spanner in the cogs, we are still working over at the Buddy Up Server to get this going. We will get this series of games going. When we start we want to be sure we can run for a full 3 month at a minimum. A Scorum account will be needed to play. The tournaments available reward Chips, which can be exchanged for Scorum. Tokens, which can exchanged for Steem and withdrawn to Scorum or Steem wallet. What would you do with these cards. Notice you are in the Small blind. There is no ante and the blinds are 15 30. It is a full table with one sit out. 8 active players. 4 people have folded. Chips stacks are still pretty even, Game not long started. Depending on what action comes your way, obviously not calling an all in. The last remaining active players. Blabla folded and the Button checked in. This makes the button look weak and opportunistic to raise against. Penderis has still to play. It will cost you 15 more chips to call. This let's Penderis into the hand free as he had to pay the blinds anyway. There is no risk to Penderis Chips if you limp in, Penderis may also raise, would you call a big raise? Your hand is not the best you can have but it is strong, It has flush and straight optoions as well as card value. This is what I done. I raised it up to 120. 4 times the big blind. Calling a raise that is only another minimum bet from the big blind is too easy and any two cards can get in at a nice cheap price. You want to price weak hands out of play. The more players in the hand reduces your chances of winning regardless of how strong your cards are at the beginning of the hand Pre-Flop. The end result is both players folded and I took the blinds they had played, not big profit. It does mean that the hand does not move forward and weak hole cards can easily take a % of your chip stack. You hear quite often players complain about always at the river. Much of the time, the same player let the other player get to the river by not betting. Want to chat about some games and strategies. Come on over to the Buddy Up Server.

Poker ethics
Poker vs friends. Any kind of poker. The same as with any other game, is a great played when played with friends. When we play with friends. The rules are often skewed for the benefit of weaker players in the game. The same for playing online games with friends. Altering the rules to accommodate a beginner. Maybe a young person you are trying to teach a game to, all the rules all at once might be too much for them to take in. You may play a simpler game of scrabble. You might play fish with half the deck. There are many thing which can be done to accommodate different things. With poker it is pretty much the same. There are variations of poker which can be played which may help new comers to the game evolved their game. These are the rules the game is played by though and not the ethics the game is played within. These should not be changed. Some guidelines which should be held to when playing poker. Talking about your hand when a game is in play is a No No. The main reason for this is what you speak can influence the game. It can influence the play of other players still in the hand. When you are not in the hand it is a bigger No No to talk about cards you may have had or comment on the plays at hand. Let us suppose you have 7 2 off suit. You fold pre-flop and three 7's come out on the table. Voicing any comment here is a no no. Letting other plays know the fourth 7 is gone can influence the play of other people still in the hand (or prevent them from acting). None of us win all of the time. The statistics say we can't. If you happen to lose, do it gracefully. Some of the abuse I have seen over the years thrown at players that knocked someone out of the tournament. Just leaves me to think, do those people have the mentality to play poker. They may have all the statistics down pat on what hand can win what percentage of the time. The reaction when they lose suggests their mentality cannot handle the same statistics. Poker show. A show is held in the Buddy Up Server in Discord to assist beginners with learning the game. https://discord.gg/3d5H3K8 Players of all levels are welcome to come and discuss poker. The show generally lasts for 1 hour. Starting time: 8 PM UK time. (7 PM UTC) Suggested topics this week. Value of Hands in Poker. Starting hands. Position. Bet sizing. Strategy's. Re raising. Variations of poker. Other topics are welcomed to be brought up and discussed too. If you have a topic you would like some time set to discuss this can be arranged for one of the shows. Poker games are played on The Scorumpoker We hope soon to add to a new game to the line up of weekly games.
