The parents of the future champion were able to give all their five children a good education, but Fowler preferred to drop out of university. This behavior led to a break in relations with his parents, so Hal decides to go live in California.

Interest in poker began to manifest in him as early asvery young age. Fowler took part in many small tournaments, sometimes even got into prizes, but all these achievements were so insignificant that he never even thought of practicing poker professionally.

In California, Fowler organized a small business of his own, but things were not going well at the firm. He never had any spare money to be able to participate in a major tournament.

Fowler loved to play in the casino "Horseshoe", he was ina good relationship with the owner of the institution. At the poker table, professional poker players sometimes met in this popular place, one of them advised Fowler to try his hand at major tournaments of the world series.

In 1979, the money to participate in the Fowler tournamentreceived from the owner of the casino "Podkova" Benia Binonaya. It was he who helped the future champion to become a participant in this grand poker competition. It is worth noting that at that time very few players took part in the championships of this level. For comparison: if in 1979 the participants of the world series had only 54 players, then in 2011 a similar event gathered more than 6 500 people.

For the sake of justice, it should be noted thatthe competition in the 1979 tournament was unusually high.

In the course of the final hands, Fowler did a lotmistakes, but good luck that day really favored him, despite the fact that the undoubted favorite was Bobby Hoff. The final duel was delayed, it was already late at night and Fowler was considerably tired. He suggested moving the game to the next day, but this decision was not approved by the organizers of the tournament. Suddenly, Fowler said that in that case he would play all the distributions, so that everything ended as soon as possible. He kept his word, his opponent was depressed. It turned out that now the game will be missing logic.

In the decisive distribution, Hoff was given two aces,Fowler were off suit 6 and 7. Flop: Jack, 4, 3. Hoff put half of his chips - Fowler responded. The turn was a five. Fowler Street, and Hoff has remained with his "pocket" aces and in addition to all without outs. The outcome of the finals was decided. In 1979, the world champion was an unknown, not very successful businessman, who took money for the tournament - Hal Fowler.

Disappearance

After his sensational victory, Fowler disappeared. He never again appeared in prestigious tournaments. It is known that he lost all his money and died in poverty.

The last years of his life, Fowler was seriously ill. He died in 2000 from a hemorrhagic shock. He was 73 years old. After him left a small inheritance - a pistol and a cassette with a video recording of the finals of the 1979 poker tournament.

Two swindlers, having met while escaping from the carrying echelon, united their efforts. Deciding to cheat the owner of the casino and part-time mafia head Belle Duke, the heroes come up with a grandiose scam that resembles a game of poker (one of the terms is "bluff"). Against the background of all this, there was a struggle for the right to be "the best." The red line is the line of "trust", which once again gives the viewer to think about human relations.

In the film "The Taming of the Shrew" by Celentanoappears to us as a rude man who does not respect women and is quite satisfied with his life as a lonely bachelor. The companion who appeared in his life tried to change not only views on the surrounding world, but also himself. Seeing that our hero (Eli) is indifferent, she tries to "touch" his heart. The film is full of a lot of comedy situations, which allows two characters to get closer. Both of them are from different "worlds": he is a farmer, she is a secular lioness.

In addition, he enjoys photography, chess, tennis, playing billiards, and all this contributes to a better perception of his personal roles.

Without a bluff, poker is impossible. If you play only on strong cards, then a lot of money will never win. Of course, abusing this technique is also not worth it, but sometimes it is simply vital to use it in the game.

In online games it is much more difficult to bluff, becauseIt is impossible to look into the eyes of rivals and try to understand what they are planning. However, even in online poker you can learn the style of behavior of those players who are with you at the table. The ability to bluff well gives the player some advantage over those who are used to playing only strong cards.

Bluff Rules

First of all you need to build a reputation for yourselftight player. You need to make your opponents believe that you always play only strong cards and if you go into the game, then only when you are completely confident in your abilities. Opponents will eventually respect your bets and try not to play against you with weak cards once again.

When aggressive loose play is best not onlylimit your bluff. Such contenders are very fond of opening. But with this type of game, if your bluff is opened, then it becomes possible, on the contrary, to play a strong hand as if you are bluffing again.

If you start using bluffing too often, then the enemy will very quickly discover this fact and you will stop believing.

It's pointless to bluff at once against several opponents. There is a high probability that more than two people will not be able to convince you.

A big role is played by your position at the table. The best option is to bluff on the button or in the blinds.

Strangely enough, but the bluff is very effective against professional players who are good at playing. It is this professional, well versed in the game, is able to throw off the cards of medium strength.

Do not bluff when the table gatheredmany amateurs. These people have not yet lost their natural curiosity, which is very characteristic of beginners. They will follow you to the last in the hope of a miracle. And, this "miracle" with them sometimes happens. Against such rivals it is better to play differently, otherwise you risk losing lots of money and nerves.

Bluffing is not effective when playing with low stakes. When the game is friendly, everyone at the table is relaxed. They do not see each other in rivals. Here, many will play against the rules, because they almost do not take any chances. In case of a loss, they lose a little, so trying to knock someone out of the game is meaningless.

While playing at high stakes at the tablethe situation is quite different. All players are collected and extremely focused on the game. Each hand brings a huge profit to the player who won the pot. There is hardly anyone who wants to take risks, so in this situation, the ability to correctly bluff can be very useful.

How to win at poker

The question is largely rhetorical. To win, you need to acquire a game experience. In addition, you need very good observation - you need to track the manner of the game opposing you players. This allows you to notice that a certain player, for example, raises bets only when he has a good card. Another bluffs every now and then. The third constantly attacks, etc. Understanding the logic of the actions of rivals, you increase your chances of winning. In turn, it is necessary to mislead your opponents yourself. For example, if you play cautiously, a sudden attack, even with a relatively weak card, may allow you to take the pot - your opponents will decide that you have a strong hand and give up. To make it easier for the beginner to understand how to act in a particular situation, special tables have been created showing the optimality of actions in the event of the arrival of certain cards. Such tables are useful - at the same time, the game exclusively for them will be unprofitable. Why? Because you will be predictable. The winner is the one who understands the rivals well and hides his true intentions correctly. In practice, you can learn how to earn about $ 50 a day on poker in about six months of persistent practice. Of course, much depends on the personal qualities of a person, his analytical abilities. One of the most important advantages of playing online poker is that it can be played at any time of the day without leaving home. This gives the player complete freedom, and the incomes for a talented game can be very high - which determines such a high popularity of this game.
