Fix Attention on Annie Duke
by Jordyn on Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
Annie Duke might not have attained her first World Series of Poker Bracelet until two thousand and four but she is still one of the most feared poker players around the ring games at The Bellagio in Vegas. Annie’s long-overdue World Series of Poker win came with a win at the "forgotten game" of Omaha Hi-Lo.
While players from the "young crowd" of poker go berserk after a huge win at the tables, Annie goes home to be "mommy" to her 4 kids. She hails from NH and grew up in a family of card players. If you don’t believe that, have a look at her sibling, Howard Lederer, when he plays, who taught Annie how to play poker.
However, Annie Duke is not a small change girl and has earned her cut of difficult games, which includes eliminating Howard a few times on numerous occasions.
Winning over $3 million in tournament action, Annie became a advisor to both UltimateBet and actor Ben Affleck, who wished to sharpen his techniques and become a force in poker.
You may notice her at the Bellagio, you will see her on television and you might just even compete against her in an internet poker game, but do not expect an easy win. Unless you are a rising star, you won’t defeat her. However, it would be fun to say you played at the same table as "The Duke".

Ok, that may sound a bit ubsurd, but poker is a game loaded with folklores. Did you know that if you are betting a game with 2 different decks and you are asked to pick the deck, you should always pick the deck of cards that’s furthest from you? Or, how about If you have a run of bad cards, you have to settle on a hankerchief to destroy your bad luck? It’s certainly considered good luck to blow through a deck of cards while they’re being shuffled.
A few other fascinating poker folklores are:
- You can change the run of cards by passing around your chair three times.
- The most beneficial position at the poker table looks at the entry.
- The most detrimental seat has its rear to a fireplace.
- When altering seats, you need to constantly do so clockwise.
- The worst poker card is the 4 of clubs.

Beginners Schemes for Pai Gow Poker
by Jordyn on Sunday, January 17th, 2010
Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the western in a great game for beginning level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the dealer, unlike most other poker games that gamblers bet with other players. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to be concerned about other, more experienced players winning their money.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game pace, rookies will be able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make hasty selections.
It is also simpler to enjoy for a long time with just a tiny amount of money since, to not win, both of your hands has to be under each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the casino receives 7 cards face down.
A five card hand and a two card hand must be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the houses.
