Deception Point

Deception in poker. Bluffing is a form of deception in poker. Unless a player has very good hands, he won’t call his bets if he observes that his opponent never bluffs. Bluffing is useful because it will make the opponents fold when they believe that the bluffing player has a dominant hand and the bluffing player wins the pot.

What’s the difference between a pure bluff and a semi-bluff? A pure bluff is when you make a raise or a bet with an inferior hand that has no chance of improving. In here the player can only win if his opponents will fold. A semi-bluff is when you bluff on one round with an inferior hand that might improve in the next round. In here you can win the pot in 2 ways: by all opponents folding or by catching a card to improve the player’s hand.

To bluff or not to bluff

Bluffing in poker. What does a good bluff require? Number one of course is the guts to do it and number two is the timing. When you master these 2, I’m sure you’ll be a successful poker player.

Just by the thought of bluffing gets you excited. You feel hesitant and frightened. What if I get caught? What if they know I’m just bluffing? But the feeling is really great when you get away with it and you get better each time

poker and me

Playing poker online has its advantages and most of the time disadvantages. The thrill and feel of the cards on your hand. The melodic shuffling of the cards and the rhythmic sighs of the players that what I missed most playing face to face poker. Howell, time is a luxury and that I cannot afford as of this moment. That's why I might be missing a human touch in the play, but the comfort of playing when you wish for always comes first. Especially for the newly poker addict like me. So let’s keep the table flowin'.

Big 2

I played Big 2 last night at kong88.com. It’s the game I used to play with my neighbors whenever we wanted to kill time. We play this game whenever our friends gather together to have drinking sessions in the house. We bring playing cards and play this game whenever we go out of town or go outing on a beach. This game really reminds me of some good memories in the past. We call it Pusoy Dos in the Philippines. I was wondering how kong88.com thought about this game which is really the same with Pusoy Dos. The same rules would apply except the rankings of the 2s. In the Philippines, 2 diamonds is the highest while in kong88.com, 2 clubs is the highest. Well however it is, the fun and excitement is the same and I am looking forward to playing Big 2 again tonight.
