What do you think a poker tournament is?
A poker tournament is a contest in which poker players
compete for all or part of an attractive prize pool. It
is the place where the best players can be seen. Each
player pays an affiliation fee and initial buy-in for
a set of tournament chips. The chips are non-negotiable,
having no cash value except at the end of the tournament,
when you get cash for your chips. The game finishes when
all but one or a few participants are busted. The the
final winners share the prize pool between themselves
in accordance to the tournament rules. With time the games
stakes grow bigger to hasten the tournaments end.
What is the meaning of the following terms
to check, call, raise, and fold?
To check means to pass on betting keeping yourself in
the hand to call, raise or fold after other players act.
If you decide to call you have to match a player's bet
with even money. To raise means to place a bet, which
is larger than a bet already placed on the table. Notice
that the raise must be greater than or equal to the bet
being called. When a poker player decide to fold, he chooses
to throw his hand away.
Can you tell me what does burning a card
mean?
When the Flop, The Turn, and the River are being dealt
the dealer should take the top card off the deck and remove
it from the game without any player seeing it. This act
called 'Burning a card' protects against deceiving or
accidentally seeing the cards.
In order to psyche-out my opponents is it
possible to show my hole cards to them before the showdown
?
There are different rules in the different houses and
for that reason this act depends entirely on the rules
of the house. At some of the most famous poker rooms and
home games this is allowed. But have in mind that in other
places would instantly call the hand dead and would make
the player fold. So be sure that you know the rules of
the certain casino or poker room.
