Listen to the Short Stack

It happens to all of us, somebody bets into you out of left field, or raises your bet. If you are holding a hand that you believe may only be the second best hand at the table, most players’ natural inclination is to fold. Before you surrender the hand to your opponent take a good look at his stack. This will often be able to tell you more about whether or not they are bluffing than any facial tick or profuse sweating.

If this is a cash game, and you see somebody with a small stack displaying this sudden flash of aggression, you can believe you are now facing a legit, formidable hand. Chances are your opponent has been just waiting for this opportunity to replenish their supply of chips and they are going to make the most of it.

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.
