Poker strategy – Some basic concepts
Poker strategy is a complex subject. This article only attempts to introduce basic strategy concepts.
[From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]
The fundamental theorem of poker
The fundamental theorem of poker, introduced by David Sklansky, states that every time you play your hand the way you would if you could see your opponent’s cards, you gain, and every time your opponent plays his cards differently from the way he would play them if he could see your cards, you gain. This theorem is the foundation for many poker strategy topics. For example, bluffing and slow-playing are examples of using deception to induce your opponents to play differently than they would if they could see your cards. There are some exceptions to the fundamental theorem in certain multi-way pot situations, as described in Morton’s theorem.
Trick or Treat
It’s the new Carbon Poker promotion. As you play and earn comp points your admin tracks your eligibility for prizes, unlocking them as you reach the set comp point increment.
The best part is once you unlock a prize, you can trick or treat. Trick or Treat gives you the chance to win something better – a treat or to get tricked into something worse.
Also keep an eye out for the cool halloween graphics at the tables!
