There is no magic do this to win every time in poker.Also, E-Books are worthless.You need to join training sites, and go out and buy actual books.As to what books it depends on what form of nlhe you are wanting to play – cash,mtt,stt,hu cash,6 max cash,6 max sng,6 max mtt,hu sng.

Sounds to me you are just looking for a quick buick and think because you see pros win money on tv, that you can win to.Be warned that NLHE is the form of poker that is the most swingy.So be prepared to lose hundreds of dollars.If you can’t handle that mentally, then no point in even trying to learn.

You say your are familiar with JavaScript, so a combination of Java and JavaScript is probably the best way for you to go with this. The bells and whistles (animations, mouseovers, etc) can all be added later. Your first step is to create a basic, multi player card game. Once that is mostly debugged then you can add in the fancy features.

Player answers:

There won’t be any trick to it. You will have a series of methods, each one taking an array of 5 cards and returning a boolean. One for each kind of hand you are trying to detect. Then the code within each method must just do the appropriate checks. It will be somewhat detail-oriented but I don’t see a way around it.

For example:

isPair – look at each card and see if there is another in the hand of the same rank

isThreeOfAKind – similar to isPair but must find two other cards with the same rank as each chosen card

isFlush – take the first card, note its suit, then check that the other four cards have that same suit.

IsStraight – find the lowest card, then check that among the other four cards there is a card with each of: one higher rank, two higher rank, three higher rank, and four higher rank. With Aces being either low or high there will be some additional work in this method to accommodate that.

IsStraightFlush – could be implemented by calling isStraight and isFlush and only returning true if those are both true

isRoyalFlush – first check for isStraightFlush then check that the lowest card has rank 10.

You get the idea.

One detail to consider is whether you want to consider three-of-a-kind as a pair, since technically there are two cards with the same rank. If not, then the code for IsPair will have to also call isThreeOfAKind (and isFourOfAKind) and not return true if any of those are true.

Wild cards will complicate these methods of course. Then they will need a way of knowing what is wild as they look at the cards to see if they meet the requirements of the kind of hand they are checking for.

I don’t know when you are coming to Vegas, but in July they have a good series at the Orleans casino, they range on the buy-ins from 330-550, and the main event is only 1000 dollar buy-in. The rounds are 1 hour long and they start you out with good chips, I like to play in this series, and you have a ton of room to play, you can go to there web site and see for yourself. Also the Bellagio has a 1k buy-in, first places pays out 28-30k and has some top players who come out for this one. The Bellagio and the mirage have very nice rooms and they draw a lot of the top players in the area.

Starting cold, just go to the poker room and let the tournament director know that you want to register for the tournament. At some casinos, a player card is not required. For example, if you have a players card at Planet Hollywood, you get 500 bonus chips vs the player who registered without a players card. At the Rio, Caesars, any of those properties that are owned by Harrahs, you need to show your players card when you register for a tournament. In all cases, they will tell you where to get the card at. Usually it’s in the customer service area. The Venetian asks that you use a players card to register for a tournament. Binions and the Golden Nugget does not require you to have a players card.

So now you have a players card, you go up to the designated cashier area in the poker room and register and pay for your buy in. The tournament cashiers in turn will give you a card with the table and seat assignment. Take your card to the table and seat noted. The dealer will verify that you are in the right place and take your card and push a stack of tournament chips to you.

Once all players are seated and the start time arrives, the dealer will either have you draw a card to determine where the dealer button goes or he will deal each person a card to determine where the button goes or they will do it on one designated table what I just wrote, and the tournament director will announce that the dealer button goes on seat # for all the tables. Then the play starts and dealers will shuffle up and deal. Good luck! Enjoy your time in Vegas!

The reason that you will not be eligible with an existing account is because the site you sign up at will not make any money off of you signing up if you already have an account. Thats the only reason that they will give you rake back because they are making alot more from you signing up and if you try canceling your account and getting another one that won’t work either because fulltilt keeps track of any account that was previously made with your computer.

Player answers:

The reason you are struggling to find a difference is they are restricted to the same percentage. Fulltilt doesnt let anyone pay more than 27% rakeback, if anyone is offering more, then they are breaking the rules, will eventually get caught, and then shut down.

The main difference between rakeback providers is the rakechases, the rake races, and the freerolls. Personally I’m part of the raketherake network, they’ve been around for years and have given out over 87 million in rakeback. I use them, promote them, and highly recommend them for fast payouts and good customer service.

As for the offers that we have, currently for fulltilt we have a 15k freeroll and a 55k rake race, thats on top of 27% rakeback paid weekly, and of course the initial deposit bonus.

The leader boards are being updated for the new year and should be running by the end of the week.

Player answers:

Onlinepokerlocator.com looks like a great choice for any of those sites.

Have fun!

Player answers:

Yes it is true.

Rakeback exists because Full Tilt Poker offers 30% of the rake generated by new players as an incentive for Websites to recruit new players for them. Rakeback Websites then pass on 27% of the rake back to the player and keep 3%. Make sense?

In order to receive it you have to sign up through a rakeback provider and use a special tracker code so that they can track your profits. Check out the FAQ in the resources box below for more details.

If you have already signed up with a website. You need to either find the website that you signed up through or email Full Tilt support and ask them. If the website you signed up through doesn’t allow rakeback, you may not be able to get it. If you are not linked to a website already, Full Tilt Poker has their own version of rakeback known as Rakebackpros.com, which you may be eligible for. Ask Full Tilt support.

You must deposit real money in order to be tracked for rakeback as well.

Best of luck

Rakeback Power

Player answers:

This is an incredibly common question.

First off, your bonus+RB is more than you’d ever get from RB alone.

To explain further, whenever you play a ring game hand, or enter into a tournament, you are paying rake. This number roughly translates into MGR, which is the number your RB site uses to determine your rakeback. This would normally be the 27% (Highest allowed by FT), so .27XMGR. However, there are things that deduct from your MGR, and your bonus is one of them.

For any dollar you receive as bonus (Which for the $600 sign up I believe is released in $20 chunks), that is deducted from your MGR. This means that while you gain $20 in bonus money you lose, .27 X 20$ in rakeback. Essentially, 73% of $20 is how much you are actually getting per release. This works out to .73 X 600 = $438. Still a pretty good value, and nice to build your roll!

To answer your other questions, yes you will still receive some RB while the bonus is clearing. And yes, if you spend FTP’s on *anything* you will take a hit to your rakeback. The hit to your MGR is .05c/FTP.

Edit: I wanted to correct something the other response got wrong. Happy Hour does double your FTP earning rate, but it does NOT release bonuses any quicker. If only it did.

Player answers:

If you want to get much rakeback full tilt is probably a very bad idea. They don’t giv emuch rakeback.

I would stick to paynorake (found on www.free-poker-online.eu) where you start with getting 50% rakeback and can go up to 100% rakeback which is prolly the best website for a high-stakes player

Player answers:

Bad to hear about your bad luck with a rakeback site. I hope you chose a good rakeback site that is not ripping you off or anything.

I too run a rakeback site and find that some people do not either delete their cookies or open a new account as they have played at the site before. Some rakeback sites advise you to contact them first before you join the poker site you want to get rakeback from.

1. Contact rakeback site and save every email from them

2. Read terms and conditions (The answer is sometimes in the small print)

3. Then contact poker site at there suggested email under support.

4. Directly talk to a poker professional sponsored by them at an event (If you Can) or by email.

Rakeback money should appear as a stat where you can sign in to see it. Money is usally placed straight into your poker account.

Player answers:

If you are going to put in the volume pokerstars is the way to go. If you play occasionally then full tilt will be giving you higher rakeback.

2598960 possible hands of which 24 can be 3xA +2xQ
108289/1 against you getting your hand,
without knowing the relationships between aces and queens in your fistful I cant do the straight flushes but I agree with the previous contributer on 473 for 4′s of a kind,and for aguments sake i will guess at 40 for the straights.
That gives 513 hands that can beat you from 1533939,approximately 2989/1
so the odds for the double ,ie your full house of aces over queens and it gets beaten,without you chucking it in,is 323787099/1 against.

47 cards out there. 10 are hearts.

You need 10/47 * 9/46 to get your hearts.

I’ll let you use the calculator.

Player answers:

We consider all the card in the deck to be unique,

So the nCk function will give you the number k element of subsets of an n element set where order is not considered important.

In this case the total possible 5 card hands is given by 52 C 5.

Now you need to calculate the number of ways you could draw a hand of all the same suit.

The total number of ways to draw 5 cards from a particular suit is,

13 C 5

However, there are 4 such suits,

so the total number of flush hands is,

4 ( 13 C 5 )

So the probability of these event will be, the number of ways to get a flush / the total number of possible hands.

4 ( 13 C 5 ) / 52 C 5

Player answers:

13/52 * 12/51 * 11/50 * 10/49 =>
(13 * 12 * 11 * 10) / (52 * 51 * 50 * 49) =>
17160 / 6497400 =>
1716 / 649740 =>
429 / 162435 =>
(13 * 11 * 3) / (3 * 13 * 4165) =>
11 / 4165

There’s an 11-in-4165 chance that out of 4 cards dealt to you, all 4 would be of the same suit. Now, there are 9 cards of that suit left in the deck and there are 48 cards left in the deck altogether, which means that the 5th card will have a 39-in-48 chance of not being a card from your suit:

(11 / 4165) * ((48 – 9) / 48) =>
11 * 39 / (4165 * 48) =>
11 * 13 * 3 / (4165 * 3 * 16) =>
11 * 13 / (4165 * 16) =>
143 / 66640

A 143-in-66640 chance

Player answers:

Offhand, I’d toss the king, since you know that at least one of them is already held by someone else. This gives you 3 chances to score another ace instead of 2..trip aces would be a hand with a pretty fair chance to take the hand. It also would probably be a slightly better chance to wind up with two pair.

Player answers:

Pre-flop, it’s way too difficult to answer precisely without a computer to figure all the possibilities, since there are situations straights and flushes to consider. However, a good rule of thumb (imo) is that a medium-sized underpair to two offsuit over cards is fairly close to a coinflip pre-flop.

What is the probability that you choose a blue and and red chip?
P(red, blue) = (3/14) * (7/13) = 3/26 = 0.115385 or about 11.54%

P(2 sevens, 1 queen) = (4/52) * (3/51) * (4/50) = 2/5525 = 0.000362
P(jack, ace, no jack or ace) = (4/52) * (4/51) * (44/50) = 88/16575 = 0.005309
P(3 queens) = (4/52) * (3/51) * (2/50) = 1/5525 = .000181

5) If you’re playing poker with my sleazy friends, there is a 38.7% probability that someone is holding 5 Aces.

Player answers:

In reality, it isn’t quite so simple because you don’t know if OTHER PLAYERS have a seven. So for a game, you have m players, and 2m+3 cards are dealt at the end of the flop. This leaves 49-2m cards to go. Since you know 5 of the 2m+3 cards are not sevens. The 4 sevens are in the other 47 cards (those held by the other players and the cards other than the 3 flop cards). So the odds that a seven is present is 13/47. Since the game goes to its end with 2 more cards to be revealed, there are 3 outcomes; no sevens, one seven or two sevens. The expected probabilities of these events is given by the binomial distribution (13/47 + 34/47)^2. The last term will be
(34/47)^2, and is the expected probability that NO seven will show up in the last two card turnovers. This is somewhat more than 1/2. The middle term (2 x 13 x 34/(47^2) ) is the probability of 1 seven, the first term (13/47)^2, the probability of 2 sevens. If you want to go beyond two turnovers, just set the exponent of the binomial distrution to the turnovers you are interested in.
