you should add: If you fold your hand and there is still action, don't talk about your hand. I see that a lot from new players; they love to talk about what they folded when the turn and river finally hit the hand they just mucked.
There are many components to good poker courses. One place I discovered that successfully combines these is the Card Crusher Fixer (check it out on google) it's the most incredible resource that I've heard of. Check out all the super information .
Cool video man. I just went to a casino poker room for the first time last night and was definitely a little nervous and intimidated. I've played online poker before and poker in person with family and friends but I did make a few novice mistakes at first. I didn't know what the small blind/ big blind was when it was my turn and it was really embarrassing to ask. I also got yelled at by the dealer for "splashing the pot" when I threw my chips into the pile in the middle. Other than that I had a great time and won $69.
Great to hear you had the confidence to go into a real table not even knowing that much about poker. Makes me feel more confident about going to one as an online player because I would never step foot onto a real table without knowing what the big blind / small blind was among-st other things. I mean, if you didn't know what the big blind and small blind was, I'm sure you were at the time not familiar either about how to play differently according to your position on the table.
I’m 23 and have played in two tournaments and one cash game and I still get nervous. Cash games are easy cause but in a tournament setting where the blinds are increasing and ante. But at the end of the day everyone makes mistakes at the poker table, even the experts. If some old man has a bitch or gripe about you being a novice tell him to fuck himself that’s how I look at it... kick me out bitch
i wish they had like a practise table or like low bet table at casino near me so i could try it out without losing all of my money in the first blind lol.
Try playing a free online version with computers lol. Obviously it’s not the same but it helps put the basic rules into practice for the first time I think
One thing I would note is to NOT have your larger denominated chips on the bottom of your stack, when looking at when you stacked your T1k & T5k chips underneath the T500 chips. You generally want to keep your stray higher denominated chips on top of the smaller stacked denominations so they are much easier to see and take note of than if they are at the bottom of those T500's,. Also it helps to know yourself how much you have in your stack, where maybe after some time you may lose track and forget about the larger denominations on the bottom since you usually do not see the bottom of your stacks yourself at your angle.
Um what about before you start playing? I know that you have to do various sign ups before the host will seat you at a table but am a little fuzzy on the details.
His name was Teddy KGB, and "In my club, I will splash the pot whenever the faaaaak I please!!!" Rounders was a great movie, definitely showed how the sharks hunt the cash game scene. I went to Atlantic City once and played in a cash game, they thought I was just another fish, but I played well and walked out with a profit but I was definitely nervous. Stacking my chips TOOK FOREVER because my adrenalin was pumping so much...lol. Great video for newer players, keep it up!
thank you friend! going to casino to play poker for the first time tonight. im pretty good online but the hands are absolutely crazy 99% of the time so looking forward to playing in a casino
In rounders, the guy splashing the pot like that was intentional and remember it was his casino. His illegal underground casino, pretty sure he could splash the pot all he wanted and was playing mind games
And as I remember he was calling an all in, so it is allowed because of the “one chip rule”. The moment the first chip was thrown the hand was ended, so the rest of the chips thrown were just for mere entertainment of Teddy KGB...
You should also talk about the etiquette at the table, I.e. Buying in, when to talk about your hand, speaking in English at the table, one hand per player and one player per hand. Stuff like that.
Depending on the casino just throwing in raising chips and not saying anything will get people upset thinking it was a call. Usually you should say "raise" if the dynamic of the table is using that "rule".
During your step on how to stack chips, you should of stated that your big chips need to be visible so other players wont think your trying to angle shoot
could you do a video on proper ways to handle your chips when you bet, call or raise. for example, when you bet and someone re raises you, is it best to pull back the chips you've already bet and put in the total amount of the re raise or do you just add the difference from the re raise? or maybe it doesn't matter?
I never used a card protector before but I just had a game where the dealer took my hand when I did not fold; not in word or deed. I never touched them. I was pissed at first but they were mucked so fast, there was nothing I could do. Then the board came and felt better about it! Thanks. I will use one from now on.
What happened before the game and after the game? If we won many chips, do we carry all the chips? Or is there some sort of colouring chips that we need to say or go to make the chips less while still maintaining the same amount of value?
I'm a beginner at best , I been playing on my phone for a couple months and starting to think I'm decent (hilarious I know) and I wanna try some live poker. I went to casino on my 21st bday but was too intimated to play anything. (Wanted to play blackjack then.) Now I'm 25 and wanna play bad but I dont wanna slow people down or ask dumb questions and get bitched at lol...
Davy Cornell LoL I know exactly how you feel. I didn’t get the courage to play live until I was 23. I’m 26 now. Honestly, as long as you just pay attention, it’s easy to pick up etiquette. A lot of it is common sense, and people will whine regardless of you making a mistake or not. Just be respectful and you’ll be respected with them check raises haha but in the beginning, don’t expect massive wins, just go for the experience without any expectations with an open perspective to learn as much as possible. Also, find the friendly recreational players. I play at Winstar (or use to before the Covid) and people were super cool with pointing out things I was doing wrong or little tips and tricks here and there.
May I ask where you got the chips...? Was it that Russian site? There's not enough info on them so I'm a bit scared to buy from them but the designs look awesome... -WintermintP
Ok but what if you are in a live game and your cards at the start and you get up to go toilet and whilst you in there the hand you folded on has finished but you haven't come back from the toilet yet what happens to your go, Do you just miss that hand or does the dealer puts in the blinds or something while you are gone? I Hope that makes sense.
The Russian layed out the chips like that in the movie rounders because it was part of the point that it's his table and he can do whatever the f**khe wants 😂
Ultimate power move is to don’t look at your cards but still raise the river based on odds lol. Do it all the time and pisses old timers off and gets them to fold still lol
The "one chip" rule doesn't actually exist, it's merely a distillation of the bet comparison procedure dealers are (supposed to be) trained to use. The procedure goes like this: you remove the lowest-denomination chip from the bet in question. If the remaining chips are greater than or equal to the original bet being responded to, then it's a raise. When only one chip is tossed in, this procedure becomes quite easy: the only chip being tossed gets removed, and the remaining chips (none) are not greater than or equal to the original bet, so it's a call. This procedure applies to every bet. If player A bets 1k with a 1k chip, and player B tosses in two 1k chips, that's inherently a raise, because when you remove the lowest denomination chip (one of the 1ks), the 1k that remains is equal to the original bet. If player B tosses in a 1k chip and a 500 chip, that is also inherently a raise, because when you remove the 500, the 1k is equal to the original bet. In this case, the raiser is obliged to complete the raise to 2k. It's all one procedure that gets used in bet evaluation, and it's really not about "one chip".
Well, Ashfaq Sheikh, it depends on the rules of said poker game. Normally, if you have a sanctioned poker tournament, or even a charity poker tournament, the people that hold the tournament either discourage, or outright ban, a person from leaving the tournament until they have busted. With live/televised events like Aussie Millions/Crown Australian Poker Championship, Epic Poker League, Poker Stars, High Stakes Poker, World Series of Poker/Europe/Asia, World Poker Tour, and other televised, and/or live online poker video feed tournaments, like, say, something like Live at the Bike, this tends to be the case, with possible exceptions like obvious cheating, in which case an entire tournament can be cancelled, and, in rare cases, a poker organization, and/or even casinos, can be forced to close, or more logical things like illness of a poker player, illness of a family member of a poker player, death of a poker player, or a death in the family of a poker player. However, by the rule of thumb, it is generally considered as rude, unless you are playing an online non-cash poker game, or a video game version of poker, to just up and leave a poker game before there is a winner of a tournament.
I’ve always wondered: when the pot is big and there’s a big pile of the same chips, wouldn’t it be somewhat easy for someone to toss in 7 chips and call it 8? It would look about the same and how would you know after it’s been tossed in? (I’m not talking about in a casino per se)
A good dealer would count the chips to check correct because most places rule that what you say is the bet. So if I say 500 but I place 400 in chips then I have to pay up 500 in chips because that is what I said. Not just what I put out there
You're not allowed to throw the chips that you're betting/calling/raising with into the pot directly. That's called splashing the pot. You put them in front of you, separate from any other chips. The dealer will then put them into the pot once everyone has called or folded.
Generally you can ask for a count, in which the dealer will count the pot, then you can do the maths from there. Usually just say something like “can I get a pot count” or along those lines
Can you make your own change from the existing pot if you call your bet beforehand? Ex, $2,300 bet with $2,500 chips.....snag $200 on your own to make change? Anyone? Tnx
where can I get those poker chips? btw, it's not ok to have your your big chips at the bottom, they should be on top so other players can easily see them
Personally, I would prefer that players tend to have these new devices that dispense poker chips like those old coin stack dispensers tend to dispense a coin at a time, but, unlike said coin dispensers, the poker chip dispensers can also be adjusted manually to dispense of multiple chips in each individual stack as well, Jose Luis. I would find such a device MUCH better than poker players clacking chips endlessly, plus it also makes poker stacks look a lot nicer as well.
If I call a river bet, and the opponent throws away their hand quickly (like the 7 2 you show), do I have to show my hand before I win the pot? I've heard conflicting opinions on that.
He answered this in the video. It depends on the casino and also if it's a cash game or tournament. Typically in a cash game, you do not need to show since your opponent mucked his hand. In a tournament, most casinos have a rule where the winning hand must be shown to avoid collusion.
yea, but you always have to show your hand, even if oponent you called mocked his hand, because it doesn't say that actually he lost the hand, if you will show him worse hand, he can still claim that he had better hand and then dealer still shows his hand and compare them
Jimmy Recard they're ept chips from milkfishpoker, you can get them on eBay or on milkfishpoker. I don't recommend these chips though, I would buy a sample set and see how you like them
they are alright but there are other ceramic chips on the market, this is personal preference and like i said i would recommend getting a sample set to see how you like them
Never show a bluff. Usually I always muck even if I have the nuts. It's not bad manners is just poker. I may show my cards early on in tourney play when I have the nuts to show that I wasn't bluffing to nit get called when I do.
Dont throw your cards, like dont do the helicopter cards thing, and if they paid to see your hand just show it, its not a douche bag move to ask someone to play by the rules
You can call 1500 with a 5000 chip just like you can buy a 2$ hot dog with a 100$ bill. You would just get change back for your big chip. But the casino doesn't want to force you to raise if you put in a huge chip. It's generally less costly to call on accident than to raise on accident. It would be like you buying a 2$ hot dog and giving a 100$ bill and the hot dog stand guy going "oh you wanted 49 more hotdogs? Cool."
NEVER just throw your hand until you see the other hands in the bet...If I had 10 dollars for every fucked muck I'd own youtube...:)...Take your time, but not too much, try to make a decision within 10 seconds, Be a good loser and a winner... Poker is a gentleman's game not an EXTREME sport...Respect everyone at the table and you'll be respected back...Doyle Brunson is one of the best players to study...Good luck to all and may your aces win all their races...:)
I never actually met anybody who said they are new at poker and they were new at poker . my advice for a real new player .. dont listen to players advice at the table they are not there to help you . hit and run often at first . your skill level will not be high enough to hold onto wins . learn my best habit I have on poker the one that makes the most money is to walk to the cage and cash out chips quit go home .
