Re: .Re: Best cheap shuffler?
At my game, we run two decks. This way we always have a deck ready to go. The person next to deal (the small blind) will shuffle throughout the hand, and when it is his turn, they just cut, and we're ready to go. I have a permanent ...

Re: Standar playing cards vs
Well, you'd be suprised. Plastic should be the standard for poker cards. Especially if you have the felt to go along with it. I can take some pictures if you'd like...Anyways, the 2-$1 packs are OK if you don't play regularly like ...

Re: Setting up a Tournament?
Yep, I used to use HPT regularly when I first started out, using a lot of their print outs, and their free blind timer. I have a downloaded program for my leagues with friends, but whenever I'm on the fly, its easier to just set up a laptop, a ...

Re: Avoiding Novice Mistakes
Yea, I have a buddy who is in debt right now because of playing above his bankroll. He is usually a great player, but in poker, you can't really sway the cards your way all the time. We usually play $1/$2 NL, but we were having a great s ...

Re: How would an online gambling crackdown affect live/home poker games?
If anything, I think they'd become a lot more popular. Since they can't play online, where can they? Casinos are far to few, so I'm sure that people will see it as an opportunity to host more games, and try to make some more money from t ...

Re: Cellphones allowed at the table?
I believe it varies from casino to casino, but the general rule of thumb is that they must be completely out of the PLAYING AREA to use the cell phone. Simply picking up your phone while you are playing can be viewed as possible cheating, and ...

Re: Standar playing cards vs
I'd stay away from it. You can use your average bicycle cards, but those'll get bent up out of shape easily. If you play often, invest in a deck from Copegs, or Kems. I have 4 sets of Kems, and 4 sets of Copegs. They are 100% ...

Re: Eating at Poker table
You're OK if the food isn't messy. However at long "weekend" long tournaments, where there is more then 300-400 players, they are allow it. They'll give you a stool or a table and stand it next to you so that you can eat it and peace.&nb ...

Re: Tracking your Poker Strategies
If you're new to the game, then maybe this'll help you out. But in the long run, it just isn't worth it. I see a lot of players at tournaments that I go to that keep a small journal with them and they write down the rounds, (ex: position ...

Re: Setting up a Tournament?
I host regularly. I find what works best for me is coming up with a "pre-determined" amount of starting chips...5,000 is usually the norm unless it is an unusually larger buy-in for that week. I then split it up and start blinds at 25/50 ...
