Can anyone explain the bettingsystem of poker?
we are trying to have a friendly game of poker ( amoung friends) using plastic chips. But no one knows the proper rules of betting. Thanks very much.
It depends on the limit. There are several variations: 1. Fixed Limit: Probably the simplest. The amount of betting is fixed and the amount is up to you. Usually it's slightly higher in the later rounds. Generally, you want to make the earlier rounds about 2% of the person's average amount of chips, and the later rounds 4%. So if everyone's playing for $10, a good fixed limit amount is 20/40 cents. When playing fixed limit, there's usually a "cap", or maximum number of bets you can make (usually 3-4) per round. You can play any variation of poker with this limit, but it can get kind of monotonous after awhile. 2. Spread limit: Usually used in stud games. You're allowed to bet within a certain range every round (usually between about 1%-5% of the average amount of money; so in the previous example where everyone has $10, a good spread limit would be 10-50 cents). Again, there's usually a "cap." 3. Pot Limit: Pot limit is often used in games where there's fewer rounds of betting, like 5 card draw or Omaha or Hold Em. In Pot Limit, you're allowed to bet up to the amount in the pot at any time. So, if there's 50 cents in the pot, you can bet up to 50 cents. If someone raises 30 cents and the pot becomes 80 cents, then the next person can raise up to 80 cents when it's his turn. With Pot Limit, there's no cap. 4. No Limit. Similar to Pot Limit (no cap, can bet any time, etc), except anybody can bet any amount (up to what they have in front of them) at any time. By far the most creative form, but also potentially the craziest. If spread or fixed limit are getting boring, I recommend starting with pot. Some extras: Check-raising: Legal in casinos and official games, but often not allowed in home games. A check-raise is when a player checks and then raises when another player bets to him. It's a strategical move, and is often not allowed in home games. All-in: An all-in is when a player puts the remainder of his money/chips in the pot. This situation is a little more complicated, since not all players have the same amount of chips/money at the same time. If one player has fewer chips than the remainder of the players in the hand and puts them into the pot, he is only allowed to win up to whatever he puts in. For instance, let's say we have Player A ($8) Player B ($12) Player C ($20) If all players were to go all in, Player A could only win up to $24 (His $8, plus $8 from Players B & C). If Player B were to go all in, he could win Player A's $8, and $12 from Player C at most (for a total of $32). Player C could win all of Player A and Player B's money, since he has them "covered" (has more chips/money than they do). If all players go all in, there are now 2 pots: a main pot and a side pot. The main pot consists of the money that could go to ANY player: that would be $24 (Player A's $8, plus $8 from the other two players). Player A has no money left, but Player B has $4 left and Player C has $12 left. If those two continue to bet, they are now playing for a "side" pot. Since Player A has no money in the side pot, he can't win it, but player B or player C could. So if Player B were to go all in with his remaining $4 and player C were to call him (he can't raise, since there's no more money), the side pot would be $8.
Why is Kentucky against Pokerbut allow horse race betting?
They say that playing poker is gambling. That there is too much chance in it. Well, why in the heck do they allow horse betting? Seems you have 0% chance to affect the outcome. Seems 100% chance. At least Poker does have some skill, otherwise how can someone win tournaments more than 1 time. I am confused by why they allow one and not the other? Thanks for any clarification you all can provide.
Its not that KY is really against gambling. They are trying to protect Kentucky´s gambling interest by disallowing competition in kentucky(which in itself is illegal to do from KY) The next step from them will be to formerly legalize it after they have setup their own online gambling websites or made a deal with a few gambling companies. At the moment, Kentucky is not getting any money from offshore gambling companies and in this present economy, they need it and want it. So the best way to get some of that money is to first have a shake down to scare these companies and then make deals with them. The underage gambling protection crap is really just a pretext. If a kid really wants to gamble, he´ll find a way whether it is regulated or not. When I was a kid in KY, I used to go to Paducah, KY with friends and go to the Bluegrass Downs to watch the horses race. let me tell, you its easy to gamble on horses even if you are underage. Heck, I could just pick up tickets people had throw away that were actually winners and go to the cashier and get money for them.
What are the betting rules ofstrip poker?
As I understand it, clothing is used in place of chips or cash, therefore you could use your winnings as a wager. For example, when you win a hand, the other player removes and item of clothing and you can then put it on, giving you another item to come off before you start exposing anything. Like in regular poker, you add your winnings to your pile and use it in the game. My boyfriend, on the other hand, thinks you just take off your clothes and leave them off, not give them to the winner. I think he's just saying this to get me naked. What do you guys think?
The game can be played based on any variety of poker, with the same number of players, dealing and betting rules, and other details. It usually starts with all players wearing an equal number of articles of clothing. There are a number of ways in which the standard rules can then be developed into strip poker, with varying degrees of similarity to the poker betting found in casinos. Like many other adult party games, the rules are often flexible, and other activities can be included besides playing cards. Basic Strip Poker Rules In strip poker, instead of playing for cash, people play for clothes. Alternately, the game can start out with people playing for money, and when players run out of cash, they must offer up articles of clothing to remain in a hand. Whether the clothes are removed before or after the hand varies. Generally, any variation of poker can be played, or any game at all, though usually simpler games with fewer betting rounds -- such as five card draw or one of its variations -- are used to keep the game simple. How Much Is Each Article Worth? Before the game begins, players should agree to the value of different clothing items. For example, if a sock is worth one unit, is a shirt worth two? Similarly, is it possible for people to buy back clothes? Losing and Winning Generally, a person loses when they have lost all their clothing. The winner is usually the last person with clothes. But basically the point of the game is to get someone naked.... No if and or but's about it :D
