Hola!

Yesterday I was watching this video and thought it would be a good tutorial for all of you that wants to learn how to win at blackjack by counting cards. This is a very good presentation of the sistem. I must have seen it like a hundred times.  I’m still trying to learn how to count this fast and still think about the game but I’m getting pretty good at it. More and more with every game. You should try it too.

Good luck!

These are the games I don’t like at all. Baccarat is really easy but that’s why to me is boring. Craps on the other hand guarantees lot’s of fun but is very hard to understand and play. I never really knew how it is played but I’m going to try it some day. Let’s just review some of the basics of both.

Wiki explains it like this: in Baccarat, cards 2-9 are worth face value, 10s and face cards (J, Q, K) are worth zero, and Aces are worth 1 point. You calculate your score by taking the sum of all cards modulo 10, meaning that after adding the value of the cards the tens digit is ignored. The cards are dealt face down, one to the ‘Player’ first, then to the ‘Banker’; ‘Player’ then ‘Banker’ again. This is the initial deal consisting of two cards each. Both cards in each hand are then turned over and added together and the croupier calls the total (e.g. five to the ‘Player’, three to the ‘Banker’). From this position the ‘Tableau’ or table of play is used to determine if further cards need to be drawn. Depending on the two hands, the Player and Banker may draw a single card or stand pat. The hand with the highest total wins.

Sounds really easy. But for me this video was more helpful.

The game of Craps is more complex and therefore more difficult to explain. In its core is a dice game played against other players or a bank. They take turns rolling two dices as you may have seen in a lot of movies. It would take me too much time to explain all the rulz so I found this video that explains the basics of this casino game very very good.

That’s all folks! See you next time when we take on slots

Oh poker! That’s my week spot. I go crazy for it. The great thing about poker is that you play against other players and not only the dealer. That’s why there is a whole community of poker players out there, and they/we are all eager to meet and talk to one another.

There are many different types of online poker games that differ in how the cards are being dealt. By now you should know what my favorite is but just to be correct, I will mansion them all.

The simplest one is Draw poker. We all played that one at party’s after a few drinks and with hardly any clothes ;). Each player gets a complete hand of cards turned face-down. After betting you are allowed to change your hand by discarding cards you don’t want anymore. Instead of those you get new ones. Five-card draw is the most famous variation in this family.

Then there is Stud poker. Every player in the game gets a combination of face-up and face-down cards in a multiple betting rounds. The player that has the best five card poker hand wins the game. The most common are seven-card and five-card stud.

But my favourite of all is a community Card poker. The best known are Texas and Omaha Hold’em. In both you get some face-down cards in your hand (2 or 4 – depends of the game) and 5 face-up cards (community cards) that everyone you play against can use. But the catch is, that you can only use 2 cards that are in your hand, and 3 of those that are on the table. In between there are rounds of betting so you can bet or fold as the community cards are dealt.

So, these are the main 3 families of poker games. There are a lot more specific variants that I’m not gonna talk about. I think it’s more important for you to know the value of the hands that you can get playing poker so I found for you these two video’s that explain just that very simply.

Till next time!
