an unlikely scenario
Authored by: buddhistMonkey on Feb 13, '06 11:27:53AM

This widget is fine if all you want is a random-card generator, but the action is far, far removed from typical tournament play. Rather, it's more like a family game in which virtually everyone plays every pot all the way to the river. Bluffs never work, raising is redundant (since everyone calls all of your bets anyway), and it's impossible to put an opponent on a hand, since it's rare for anyone to fold even the lousiest, money-losing-est cards.

The way to beat this game is to play a lot of pots where you have a flush or straight draw possibility, or a pocket pair. If you miss the flop, fold immediately. If you make your flush/straight/trips on the flop, keep raising over and over and over. Everyone will call you, even if they have absolutely no cards and no draw. You'll double/triple up nearly every time. This is terrible strategy for a real game, however, and I would submit that playing this game for any length of time is actually detrimental to improving your skills.
