Be Wary of Going All In

The all in bet has been a staple of big poker tournaments ever since the ESPN cameras became part of the sport’s reality. There are a number of reasons for this that can be explained from a tactical point of view, but the reality is that the all in bet is exciting: it’s the "Home Run" of the sport of poker, and makes for good viewing. Newer players have been watching this on television for years, and it has become an accepted part of the game. In older days these types of all or nothing gambits were less frequent.

The reason players avoided these type of gambles in the past was because they shifted the game from one of skill to hand where luck would be the final arbiter of how the hand ended up.

Anaconda

An industrial press machine or an ex-wife is two contemporary examples of what can squeeze the life out of you. Nothing, though, is genetically geared to this act like the Anaconda though. Ironically, squeezing is not what this game is named for. There is an almost serpentine quality to the flow of the game. The game may include 4 to 7 of your closest friends and relatives, or anyone else that you can con into your garage or game room for the purposes of separating them from their wallet.

5-Card Draw

Draw poker is widely regarded as the most popular among the many types of draw poker. This is a game that can be played with as few as 3 players and as many as seven. The game begins with each player being dealt 5 cards. Unlike some of the more popular games today, all five cards are dealt face down. There are no community cards or cards visible on the board that an opponent can get a read of. For the moment they are completely in the dark. After the initial deal, there is a round of betting.
