Question #1:

how many possible 2-card hands cound be dealt to you?

poker play begins with each player being dealt 2 cards face down. From a standard 52-card deck, how many possible 2-card hands couold be dealt to you?

Question #2:

im holding a poker night..?

im holding a poker night soon, how many players would it take to have a good decent game.

Question #3:

Is the Pokerstars commercial with Phil Negreanu and the two hockey players incorrect?

They show Phil Negreanu getting dealt a pair of kings. As the commercial progresses, he talks about like trusting your instincts and knowing when to get out of the way. Then, they show a visual of him on the ice of a hockey game and two opposing hockey players, who represent two other poker players, are barreling down against him - he luckily steps out of the way at the last moment and avoids getting pummeled. Basically, this is symbolic of him folding his two kings, because the flop shows an Ace - and so he rightfully believes that one or both of those other players caught an Ace pair, which would beat his two kings.

But, is this flawed? I mean, if you got dealt two kings, wouldn't you go all-in before the flop??
EDIT - Not Phil Negreanu, but Daniel Negreanu. Sorry.

Question #4:

What are the rules concerning blinds in Texas hold 'em?

I've been playing poker a lot recently and I'm confused about blinds. Why do they change from hand to hand? Why don't all the players pay blinds before each hand? If you can explain blinds it would be greatly appreciated.

Question #5:

In omaha poker, how does a flush ten high beat a flush ace high on a side pot?...?

I'm not really up on the side bets with omaha and I didn't think there was a low pot here.

Player 1 has 2c,7c,4d,Jd.
I have Ac,Kc,10s,7d.
River is 10c,5c,5h,4c,Jh.

Player 1 wins Hi side Pot-2 with a Flush, Ten High
Player 3 wins Hi side Pot-1 with four of a kind (I get that )
Player 3 wins Hi main Pot-1 with four of a kind.
Player 2 (me) has a Flush, Ace high. (loss)
It's not bad eggs I'm just trying to understand.
Shouldn't player 1 have won the Lo pot as it's the lower hand?
It's Pokerstars I'm playing and very much doubt they have made a mistake so that leaves me being a numpty, so can anyone explain how they won please?
I'm just learning.
Everyone was all-in if that makes any difference?

Question #6:

Question #7:

Is it reasonable for me to start doubting that poker is down to skill?

Ive been playing poker for a while now and the more I play the more im starting to believe its more down to luck then skill. Simple fact is you won't win unless you get the hands some time or another. Im not a tight player either I do my fair share of bluffing. Suppose im starting to get turned off poker. Anyone able to convince me otherwise?

Question #11:

A spending spree for three? Knicks, Heat think really big?

A spending spree for three? Knicks, Heat think really big

Everyone thought it was a big deal when New York Knicks general manager Donnie Walsh cleared out enough salary cap space at the trade deadline to sign not one, but two max free agents this summer.

Not big enough.

Everyone figured that when Pat Riley couldn't come up with a game-changer of a deal for the stretch run this season that he was saving up all of his poker chips to get Dwyane Wade an A-list playmate as the grand plan in Miami.

Think grander. Think bolder. That's what the Knicks and Heat are doing.

Quite simply, it makes no sense to limit your vision or your reach, so the Heat and the Knicks won't. Think LeBron James, Wade and Chris Bosh all together on the same team. That's the play.

The Three Musketeers. The Three Amigos. Three-mendous.

Call them whatever you want, but there is every reason to believe that the Knicks and Heat will make the calls and make the tries to make that happen.

Imagine the scenes when the clock strikes midnight on July 1 ...

An executive Learjet, lifts off from a private airport in Westchester County (N.Y.), stuffed with Walsh, coach Mike D'Antoni and enough leftover Wall Street bonus cash to fill Lake Erie, and heads toward a late-night rendezvous in Akron, Ohio.

About 1,100 miles away, a Cessna Citation X leaves the Opa-Locka (Fla.) Executive terminal with a Hall of Fame club president at the controls and a co-pilot wearing a long scarf, the goggles of a World War I flying ace and a No. 3 jersey, headed north.

Talk about your amazing race.

The Knicks and Heat shoot for the trifecta. Why couldn't it happen? Why shouldn't it happen? Some around the league already think it will.

If the appeal is supposed to be getting a pair of individual superstars to come together and pool their talents on the same team, then the logical extension -- and the biggest splash -- is to make the same pitch to all three.

In Miami and New York, the appeal would be for the threesome to remember the bonds they forged while playing for USA Basketball, where D'Antoni served as an assistant coach, and the dominance that went into winning the Olympic gold medal at Beijing in 2008. If that experience was fun, wouldn't grabbing the entire NBA by the throat for the foreseeable future be a giddy delight?

Surely, they'd be able to do that even if every other player on the roster were a minimum salary player. And they would be.

The impediment, of course, is the money. Each of them would have to leave something on the table. And, so far, no maximum level free agent in the NBA has ever done that.

Still, even if the Knicks were encumbered by Eddy Curry's $11 million, they could squeeze all three in, assuming everybody made a bit of a sacrifice. For James, any location outside of Cleveland will cost him $30 million for the extra year he could get -- according to NBA rules -- from the Cavs. Then you tack on the incremental raises he'd be eligible for and that probably amounts to another $36 million.

Hey, $66 million is nothing to sniff at, even if you're already wealthier than a few low level oil sheiks. Yet LeBron is much more of a wild card if you figure that whatever he gives up on the front end of his basketball salary will come back if he adds a few titles to his resume.

And isn't it all about the rings more than the other things? And didn't Michael Jordan play for way under his market value, until those last two years in Chicago, in order to let the Bulls assemble the complementary parts around him?

Would Wade, who already has one ring, give up part of his paycheck to get another one or five with LeBron and Bosh as the toasts of Broadway rather than risk becoming a wasted spot of spilled suntan oil around South Beach?

Bosh has made a few noises, asking why he should be the one to move on from Toronto when he can stay put and be the highest-paid center of the Raptors' universe. Really? Would James and Wade in New York be enough to lure him?

As much as there is the appeal for the Knicks to try the triple play, it could be easier to see it happening in Miami. For one, the Heat have to recruit only two outsiders, not three. Then there's the appeal of the South Beach lifestyle. And the Heat have an up-and-comer already on the roster in Michael Beasley.

As an inducement, Riley might even offer that if LeBron, Wade and Bosh would join forces in Miami, he could guarantee the services of a Hall of Fame coach.

Go to www.nba.com and look for article. Now people will believe me when i say that the knicks are going to get Lebron,Wade,and bosh.read the begining of this question about 3 muskateers or 3 amigos...the article also says that the 3 amigos have already played under mike d'ntoni,in the olmpics for team USA! They all say the like him and would have fun playing for him.They like his aggressive attitude and they like that he will bench players for trash talking or doing foolish stuff du

Question #15:

Beginning Playing Poker - Texas Hold'em?

About a week ago I began taking an interest in Texas Hold'em and poker in general. I signed up for a free account on pokerstars.net and have been learning all I can. I picked up two of Daniel Negreanu's books (Hold'em Wisdom For All Players part 1 and 2) but I still have a few problems.

While I understand the concept of the game, I am finding it difficult to gather a good base of knowledge. These books are great, but they seem to focus a lot more on building upon previous experience. I'm looking for something a LITTLE more basic, but not condescendingly so. I mean, I know the basic-basics. The thing I have a problem with is being able to tell when to bet, when to fold, and when to raise. It may sound basic, but every time I think I have it down, I get in on a few hands and get very confused and lose some chips.

Is there any website or literature I could read that would help me clear up these issues? I've taken a great interest in this and would really like to learn all I can. Thanks so much.

Question #17:

If player A has 4, 4 in his hand and player B has 8 in his hand with 8 from the community cards, does player A win because he had it in his hand or is it higher pair wins in best of 5 hand card making player B winner.?

Question #18:

How do you know if you are a good poker player?

I am wondering how good I actually am, so how does one judge themselves? For instance on Pokerstars. com I finished top 50 out of 25,000 players. I usually finish top three in live touraments in the money and we usually chop it so I don't play it out.

I avoid live games of $6-3 because I am not too comfortable in them, so how do I know if I have any talent for poker?

Question #19:

Should i go and play poker tonight?

I don't know what to do i want to play in a poker tournament at my local casino tonight but i don't no if i should.
Pros:

I've been stuck in all day and i wanna get out and i love poker
I may not be able to play again for a while
and if i didn't say so already i LOVE poker!!!

Cons:

I usually play with someone else and we always split. he can't play tonight so i would feel bad if i win

It is a cheap tournament so there will be loads of players so if i do well i could be there till 5 in the morning and i start work at 11.

Guys help me out tell me what to do i'm stuck in 2 minds here. I will take a poll

Question #20:

Blessed by the poker gods tonight, nice to see it going your way for once...right?

Big blinds were $3,000-1,500 and I was two chairs away from it. I looked at my cards and I had a pair of fours, so I went all in. Of course the big blind called my bet with an additional $900.00 but somebody else did too.

I had 4-4, another had J-J, and the big blind called with K-Q. So boys and girls read on! Flop was K-7-5. Turn was a 6, and guess what then next card was, well it was a 3 and I win with a straight! This got me to the final table with almost $12,000! I was the third largest stack. As it turned out again I found myself backed into a corner and I had no option except to wait for the big blind it was $6,000-3,000. I had 7 and 2 of spades. Two called my blind and the flop was 7-2-10. I won that pot and somebody went all in and lost. Now only five players left and we chopped it. I won $210.00!

How many times have it gone the other way, I cannot remember. So, tell me when the poker gods were with you instead of against you.

Best story gets the big points!
I remember my sob stories, boy do I! For instance I was just moved to another table and I was big blind. I looked at my cards and had A-6 diamonds. I went all in with another six chips. The person called with a K-Q off suite and was walking away. River was a Q.

I got many more to tell, so let's celebrate when it finally goes our way!
