Omaha High-Low

Not a game for beginners is high-low. If you have the basics of playing Omaha intus, one is still far from ripe for high-low. Although the rules are basically the same, there are at the Hi / Lo version's think for a lot more to toast. Poker Olymp tells you why.

Omaha high-low game has the same trend as Omaha. The difference is that there can be not only a high ( "high") but also the lowest hand ( "low"). The pot is split between the highest and the lowest in equal parts. There is no low, the High wins the whole pot.

The buzz

The buzz is just like the best hand in Omaha, beginning with the Royal Flush. Just as in Omaha two hole cards and three community cards must be used.

The low

Are the lowest hand is often more difficult than people think. Here also, two hole cards and three community cards must be used. The highest card for a low may be) the Eight (8th This is called "eight-low." "Seven-low" means that one has a seven (7) and four lower cards. The best low hand that is possible is called the "Wheel" - a road to five (5-4-3-2-A). The worst has been low in a straight 8-4 Do not lie at least three cards that are lower than 8 on the board, so it is not possible to have a low.

Examples
8-4-3-2-A is worse than 7-6-5-4-3

8-6-5-4-2 is worse than 8-6-5-4-A

9-4-3-2-A is not a low

If you need to see these examples and think - you can stay away from high-low. You are not ready for it!

Limit Poker

For beginners, it is easier if they start with limit poker. This has the advantage that the height is given the limited bidding - "" -. For inexperienced players, it is certainly easier in the beginning, if they do not have to put in each round their entire bankroll on the game. Poker Olymp explains how the Betting Rules in limit poker.

There will always put a certain amount. The height limit is specified in a game always, eg Texas Hold'em $ 2 / $ 4.

The size of the stakes here would be the following:
$ 2 before the flop (the small bet)
$ 2 after the flop
$ 4 after the turn (the big bet)
$ 4 for the River.

Any bid may be increased up to three times, ie before and after the flop more than $ 8 per round of betting after the turn and river respectively $ 16 Limit poker is characterized, as the name suggests, the fact that bidding is limited. You can only put a certain amount, no more and no less. The limited use is usually mentioned in the name of the game or poker table. Example: Texas Hold'em $ 1 / $ 2.

The stakes were in a $ 1 / $ 2 game, as follows:
$ 1 before the flop (the small bet)
$ 1 after the flop
$ 2 after the turn card (the big bet)
$ 2 after the river card

Remember that each bid can be increased three times. Before and after the flop then you will pay a maximum of $ 4 per round, and after the river and turn card you pay a maximum of $ 8

Roulette Strategy

Roulette online casino in a good strategy to follow is not difficult.

A roulette strategy begins with knowledge about what we can influence. The American Roulette variant has a big advantage of immutable Casino 5.26%. The only exception is the 5-number bet, the player from an even worse view casino advantage achieved by 7,29%. These figures are for some Casinopieler may not be very interesting.

Many roulette players are looking forward to the online roulette tables on the "task" option. High Roller Casino certainly falls immediately Blackjack, but in roulette in online casino is the task of the game something else entirely.

So what does the "task"?
This Online-Roulette rule applies only to outside bets on roulette table, at which the same amount is paid. These include Red-Black, Odd-Even and High-Low. This one loses half the bet. If the roulette ball in the boiler at the 0 or 00 lands. Options 0 and 00 are the main cause of high house advantage in roulette. The task option decreases the home advantage at drastically from 2.63%.

The second part of a good roulette strategy is the search for European roulette. European Roulette is almost the same as American Roulette, but has only one 0 - no double-zero.
The advantage of the house is reduced to the much more digestible value of 2.70%. Of course it is easier, European Roulette in Europe to find in an Internet casino is absolutely no problem. Every online casino offers Roueltte each variant.

Ohnen the last note would be an incomplete strategy page. Because there is still a little known and rarely used, unfortunately, usually called "En Prison", ie "in prison". This rule refers to the outer bets with the same amount of profit. But is still advantageous here if a 0 is reached, your money is not cleared by the croupiers, but dwells' in prison '. The next round will be only the fate of the deployment decision. When the imprisoned use the following time wins, you get him back, otherwise he is lost.

"En Prison" met a almost exclusively in European Roulette, because it reduces the advantage of the house outside bet with the same amount of profit to 1.35%.

Anything that's fun, but no one needs

As an idea and a barn full of maps of Europe's largest shop for casino and poker was accessory.

As Detlev Erhardt over ten years ago a visit to Las Vegas, was done without any ulterior motive. As an employee at Activision in Santa Monica, California, took the opportunity from time to time been true in the player's paradise in the desert away. Erhardt also looking for something just distraction and not a profitable poker game. Poker, he plays only rarely, and when, he laughs, "then I belong mostly to the people who finance the winners."

The idea

The impulse to deal with a new business idea in Germany to build an existence, however, but arose in a casino. During a conversation with a roulette player Erhardt asked suddenly, where he is actually the necessary equipment could be addressed only if he himself wanted to organize some games. And further: What is actually getting their casino tables and chips come from? A brief search revealed that there is no dealer of its kind in Germany, and that apparently no one had tried to fill this niche.

The stable

"So I have two palettes with all sorts of what might need to casinos, packed and sent to Germany." Starting then everything in the online auction house Ebay, in 2001. Erhardt initially sold almost exclusively online, and for good reason: "We had no real bearing and therefore have the whole material kept in a stall. If someone personally passed, I was rather embarrassed."

The ascent

Nevertheless, and this is quite unusual, "actually ran the business from the beginning." So Erhardt founded the "Gamblerstore", referring to sales space and began to recruit staff. The poker boom in Europe, of course, did his rest in order to stimulate business, so that even today 80% of annual turnover in this area take place. Today, the team not only from sales and administration, also employs two carpenters and two interior designers - "for the specific jobs." And what does that mean? "There are people who want a poker table in the old style, because their body fits. So then what do our carpenters, "says Erhardt, and adds after a moment's reflection, adding:" But of course we must first ask what Old English at all means. "


The Masters Tournament Poker - Qualify for the WSOP.

And what was the most unusual job? "Have you ever built a table that is not burning and not from an airplane falls?" No, we have not. "We do. The order came from an air finisher. A poker table, anchored in an airplane. The number of Safety requirements for such a project are innumerable. " And how do you get with the fire under control? "It takes every part of a poker table, holding a lighter turn, and if it starts to burn, just looking for alternative materials."

Moving

In the last year, the Gamblerstore 5 million euro turnover made. "I am rather a businessman," said Erhard. In cooperation with Everest Poker Animazing held in early June a live tournament, where two seats for the WSOP to win are, as guests have the professionals Michael Keiner and Hans Martin Vogl, Stephan Kalhamer strategist, DSF Poker commentator Michael Körner and Kartentrick specialist Michael Dworschak. now moves to the shop. The new hall in Regensburg has an area of 4000 square meters.

Finland is planning poker site - and the advertising?

Known can be seen in Finland during the winter months does not make much. Therefore the government is planning its own poker site to open. The only thing on the hook: poker advertising could soon be banned!

The fact that politicians like to shoot the target should be known recently. Thus the Finnish poker player does not come up with the idea to foreign Poker platforms to make their money, the state plans to regulate the advertising of foreign bureaus to ban poker. That would bring the government to play like the Finnish citizens, and a huge competitive advantage. Indeed, so it should not just online poker providers have a hard time, even Finnish tournament organizers can then sponsor their events no longer imagine. Because who wants a tournament financial support if he can not advertise?

According to our information, would such an advertising ban is not against the EU law. It is every member of the European Union allowed, even on the present facts are.

Pekka Takki, players lawyer, believes that such a ban can not be kept. "In my opinion the present Finnish model can not hold. But political opinion and public opinion here are always in support of the monopoly."

We Pokerlistings.de you are obviously on the other operations to keep up.
