How to play poker

The main goal in poker is to collect the besta combination of five cards. In different versions of poker, there may be various possibilities for this: common open cards, the ability to replace one card with another, a choice of seven or eight cards. It would seem that the victory is affected only by probability theory, and this would be true if poker did not belong to the so-called "games with incomplete information". This means that players do not see each other's cards, which means they can not be completely sure that their combination is the best.

Until now, neither the history of the origin of the game nor the etymology of the name has been fully studied. However, it is known that the game of poker for more than five hundred years, and it appeared in Europe.

Since poker is played for money orconditional chips, players get at their disposal an effective tool for impacting each other - the stakes. As a rule, in poker there are several betting circles, during each of which a player who is not sure of the strength of his combination can refuse to continue bidding.

Psychology and Mathematics

Proceeding from these conditions, it is possible to come to a conclusion,that the most effective strategy for playing poker is to introduce opponents into delusion by their stakes, behavior, psychological markers. This can be the belief of opponents that the player has collected a strong combination, even if it is not really so, that is, a bluff. In addition, you can demonstrate a "weak hand" when in fact the player has good cards in order to force opponents to bluff and make big bets.

In total, there are more than a hundred varieties of poker. In some of them there is an original rule, according to which the bank is divided between the owners of the best and worst combinations.

Despite the important psychological componentgames, poker, nevertheless, is also a mathematical game. This is especially true for those types of poker in which some of the cards are played openly, and players can to some extent calculate the probability of falling out of certain combinations. A good poker player simply has to have a mathematical mindset, since the method of calculating the "odds of the bank" is traditionally used to estimate the probability of winning, the meaning of which is as follows: if the probability of winning is greater than the percentage of the player's money in the bank, it makes sense to continue the game, in Otherwise, it is better to stop trading. Thus, the victory in poker depends on the player's luck, his psychological abilities and ability to quickly calculate the probability of falling out of certain cards. Unfortunately, there is no universal recipe that allows to ensure a 100% probability of winning, but in a competent game you can achieve that the ratio of won and lost hands will be in favor of the former.

Evaluate, first of all, the dropped "hands", with the help ofwhich you can win. For example, if you have a combination of "9-T-J-Q" on the rainbow (meaning three different suits), the flop is 8-9, you probably lag behind in the "hand". 9 can give you a better "hand", but it can also easily give an advantage to your opponent. In this case, consider only your direct moves. 7, 10, jack or queen will give you the best possible straight, with this outcome you will have 13 outs (four 7-ki, three 10-ki, three nests and three queens).

2

Discard the cards that make up your"Hand", but also can lead to the loss of a large pot. In the previous example, if there were cards of a certain suit on the table, the third card of the suit, falling on the turn or river, would probably give a flush to another player. If so, you should not consider your direct cards, which can lead to a flush when taking into account your outs.

3

Subtract any cards that block your"Hand". For example, if you take out a peak flush from the deck, but you have 3 more cards on hand, the number of outs is reduced by one, since you can only win back two cards according to the rules.

4

Determine the percentage probability of compilingyour "hand", multiplying the number of outs by 4 on the flop and 2 on the turn. So, if you have nine of the flush draws, your chances of making a "hand" are about 36 percent on the flop and 18 percent on the turn.

5

Find out what the probability of winning with a flush draw. There will be approximately 9 outs (thirteen cards with one suit and four known cards). In this case, the probability of making a flush to the river will be approximately 34%, that is, every third time you will close the flush draw to the river.

6

Also consider the number and types of "hands" that you create during the match, as well as the number of invisible cards during the count of outs.
