February 28, 2018   Game guide   No comments

Baccarat is one of the many card games that are very popular among casino goers. This game is very much like blackjack, but it is a lot easier to learn and play. This is a game of pure chance, where no strategy can be applied to win it. There is no mathematical formula to work out the next winning hand. Although, mathematics is the basis of all these casino games, odds cannot be predicted.

Baccarat is a popular card game having its roots in Europe. In both French and Italian, the term Baccarat means zero. Some say that Baccarat is Italy’s product while others say it is a French card game. Initially it was played with a deck of tarot cards and slowly high-class French people started playing this game. From France, Baccarat came to England and then to America. Today, people play four types of Baccarat games such as Chemin de Fer, European Baccarat, American Baccarat, and Baccarat Banque. Although, there is slight difference between playing styles, the vocabulary and playing objectives are same.

Baccarat and blackjack has a few common features like in both the games you have to deal two hands and the higher hand wins the bet. There are two hands (one hand is called player and another is called banker) and you can bet on either of these two hands. No matter how many players might play Baccarat, only one player hand can be dealt.

In all the casinos, you can find two types of baccarat tables. One is mini-table and other is traditional baccarat table. The two tables differ in size, markings and labeling, and number of players that can play.

Although no one can predict the winner of a Baccarat game, there are many websites offering foolproof Baccarat winning systems, which range from $30 to $50. These sites claim that their system does not require you to have an experience in Baccarat or a high bankroll in order to win a game of Baccarat. However, all that is absolutely rubbish because had these systems been so accurate, all the casinos would have closed their operations. Moreover, the fact is that the casinos are still running and making huge profits.

Companies selling Baccarat winning system are doing nothing but duping you of your hard-earned money by capitalizing on your wish to win a game of Baccarat. So, be careful and do not buy these so called winning systems instead make some strategies for winning a game of Baccarat. However, these strategies may not work, as you cannot predict the next winning hand, but being human being you can at least plan your moves and play accordingly instead of playing blindly.

Following are a few things that should be kept in mind before playing a game of Baccarat.

1. All the casino games have some rules. When you play any game in the casino, you should know about the rules of the game as you are risking your hard-earned money.

2. The number on the face up card on the table tells you about the number of cards the dealer is going to burn. If the face up card is four of hearts, the dealer will burn four cards.

The Basics of Deep Stack Poker for German Players

February 25, 2018   Game guide   No comments

Deep stack poker refers to German poker tournaments that require at least 200 big blinds of the players involved. Most online German players rarely get involved in these situations, but they are available and almost certainly occur in live games, but they are advertised as deep stack tourneys. You won’t be caught unaware of the rules of the game. In most cases, each German poker player starts with 5000 chips and the blinds rise every 30 minutes. Those who play a tight game actually prefer them because it does allow them to stay in the game longer.

In a regular German poker tournament, you get chips for the amount of money you pay to buy into the game. In a deep stack tournament, you get far more chips than you pay for ?often double the amount, such as in the World Poker Championship Tour in which you buy in for $25,000 but receive $50,000 worth of chips. The blinds increase slowly and the game takes longer to play. It allows more players to take part in spectacular hands because they are not afraid of losing their money too early in the game. That being said, you still have to be cautious and be cognizant of the pot odds of each hand.

You do have to take the size of your stack into consideration at all times during the game. Along with this you have to take the playing style of your opponents into consideration. It is exceptionally difficult to take a player’s full stack early in the game, which means that you have more opponents to deal with for a longer period of time. You have to use these two factors into determining the size of your bet. It is also easier to bluff on the river when the pot is higher.

In the early rounds of the German tournament, the blinds are small. It is advantageous to make large raises before the flop in these hands, but you will need to make adjustments to this strategy to adapt to the levels of play by your opponents. This strategy will help you reduce the number of opponents in the hands allowing you to increase your chances of winning so that you can add to your stack. later in the game when there are fewer opponents and the game is tighter, you can take a few losses and still not make a significant cut to your stack. A raise as high as eight times the blind is not uncommon in these situations when you have a good starting hand.

Changing the size of your bet is also important when playing in a deep stack tournament. if you stick to the same bet all the time, you become very predictable for the other players and they will know that when you do place a bet or raise, it means you have a good hand. You do want to place a bet that will make the decision to raise, call or fold a difficult one for your opponents. You can achieve this easier early on when you have a large stack on the table in front of you.
