What is a great strategy for No-limit Texas Holdem poker?

My strategy at the moment is tight and aggressive. I only call if I have doubles or 2 royals, and then I usually go for it with my bets. How can I improve this strategy? Or a better one?

Calling with pairs is good but you will often have to fold the small pairs after the flop if you don't improve to trips. The implied odds of winning a big pot with trips is usually why people call raises with small pairs. However, the poker books I have read recommend folding a small pair to a raise unless the price to call only represents 5 to 12 percent of your stack or less. Also, the raiser has to have a stack size at least as big as yours or he simply doesn't have enough chips to pay you off should your "investment" in the small pair have a favorable result. Since you have to hit your trips against long odds and your opponent has to also hit a hand big enough to give you action on your trips, clearly a lot has to go right for you to win a big pot with a small pair starting hand. Hence, small pairs should typically be played only when they can be played cheaply.

With aces you can go for it. With kings you can almost always go for it. With queens it helps to know something about whoever is in the hand with you. If he is some donkey who thinks ace ten is worth all his chips, you are a 7 to 3 favorite to win the hand. But if he is the type of player who would only move in with kings or aces, you need to be more careful with queens or jacks.

I would be very careful with two royals that are not ace king or ace queen. You have to think about what kinds of hands people would be likely to get involved with when you raise with ace king or ace queen. Even pocket deuces wins about half the time against ace king since the ace king is a drawing hand that needs help from the board to improve over the deuces. The good thing, however, about ace king is that it is not a big underdog to anything except kings and aces. The problem with playing queen jack or similar hands that are a couple of notches below ace king is that you will often be dominated by something like ace jack. This is a terrible situation to be in because the hand that dominates you is a 7 to 3 favorite. Your main out is a queen or a long-shot straight. What you will find is that with hands like king queen, king jack, queen jack, etc. you will lose a lot of money when you don't hit a straight. Let the donkeys play those hands and bust them up with your aces, kings, queens, and ace kings. Note, that it is okay to play trap hands such as queen jack but if you make just a pair as opposed to the straight that you were hoping for and someone strangely moves all in you will mostly be beat and have to fold your hand.

So, to sum it up, push your premium hands by trying to get some money in the pot preflop but try to see some cheap flops (preferably in position) that give you good implied odds with some of the more speculative hands like suited connectors and small pairs. If you don't hit the flop hard with your speculative hands and other players are moving mountains of chips into the pot, you can easily fold the hand. Also, run a few bluffs every now and then. Try not to bluff so often that you lose money because people know you bluff too much and call you. But try not to bluff so rarely that people think you never bluff. You want people to think that you ocassionally bluff so that when you have monster hands and they have second best hands they will give you some action on your monster hands. If you simply play ABC poker, people will know when you have good hands and you won't be able to win. Put pressure on them with well timed bets, raises, and occasional bluffs and they will become more likely to make a mistake at some point. And since, over the long term, everyone gets the same distribution of good hands and bad hands, your opponents' mistakes ultimately is how money is made in poker.

Good Skill!

Let It Ride betting strategy?

I'm going to Vegas in two weeks. My favorite game to play is Let It Ride, I've played it on a couple of cruises and won quite a bit. There are a lot of sites that show the optimal playing strategy, like what hands to let it ride on, as well as odds and payout tables. I understand the house edge is about 3.5% with optimal playing strategy. But what I would like to know, is there a betting strategy for Let It Ride? I don't think any of the Blackjack ones would work like increasing bets every time you win or lose a hand, since in Let It Ride you win less than 1 out of 4 hands on average. Does anyone know of any betting strategies for this game that can produce higher payouts? Line when to increase or decrease the bet size?

Obviously, you're not going to decrease the house edge by changing your betting strategy. I think you know that, but I wanted to make it clear before I get 800 thumbs down from people who don't bother to read my entire response, or are intent on pounding it into the ground that you're destined to lose and it doesn't matter what you do.

Anyway, with table games like Let It Ride and others where you're not going to win about half the time, I recommend increasing and decreasing your bets based on benchmarks rather than the results of the immediate previous hand. For example, say you buy into a $10 table and start off betting the minimum. If you get up by say $100, increase your bets to $15 per spot. If you lose about $50 of your profit ($45 or $60, your choice), take your bets back down to $10. If you get up another $150 ($250 total profit), bump your bets up to $20. Again, if you get down about half of that (-$75, or at a total profit of $175) move back to $15 bets.

If you win another $200, you can go one of two ways. If you're feeling lucky, continue to bump up your bets at the same rate (if you haven't picked it up, the pattern is to increase by $5 every time you win $10, and decrease by $5 every time you lose 5 units). If you instead want to lock in some profit before the bets get too high, bank all or most of your profit (set it aside or stick it in your pocket where you can't see it) and start the pattern over. You can go back to your original $10 bets, or start over with $15 bets, moving up and down with the same pattern.

Good luck and have fun.

software, i just prefer you give me the formula, for betting on horses and casino i heard the martingale system works how does it work whats the best system, is there a system with guranteed winings serious answers asap

There is no such thing, it is all scams and pipe dreams my friend. I live and work in Vegas and i can tell you that these billion dollar hotel casinos are made on losers and not winners.I have been dealing poker for over 4 years now and i can tell you that i have only come in contact with 1 or two people who made a living betting sports or the horses. It takes more skill then I'll ever have to do that so i keep my day job. All casino games have a house edge, so in the long run you will lose money to these places, i don't play any table game besides poker, poker has no house edge at all. But i do wish you the best of luck.

Is roulette sniper a good roulette gambling system?

I'm new to online gambling and i've been trying some strategies that have worked for me at real casinos, but i keep losing online. I'm thinking that since you're playing against a computer, you'd need some kind of computer software to get any kind of edge. I've looked around for some roulette software and the one I hear most peeople having success with is Roulette Sniper.

Nobody can answer the question of whether or not a roulette system will work for you. You just have to bite the bullet and give it a shot. The can't do worse than you've done before, and there's always the shot as getting onto something big.

I hear a lot of people talk down about gambling and betting systems, but I hear other people swear up and down by them and have the money to back up their talk.

The way I look at it, as long as it provides entertainment for you, go for it. As long as you bet at a reasonable limit, then for the price of a cheap round of golf, you could spend hours playing a game that's exciting, with the chance for a big reward.

And besides, why not just try out roulette sniper for yourself? I think there is a free 7 day trial download http://www.roulette-sniper.org if that promotion is still running. Like I said, just don't go broke while testing it out. Start off small and wait to see results before betting anything big.

But if not, there's always the 30 day money-back guarantee. That's the same thing as a 30 day trial download.

I'm looking for a casino so i can take their bonus using basic strategy at blackjack?

I want to put in money recieve a % bonus and play basic strategy through out the playthrough amount them when I have reached that amount I withdraw my money. If the bonus is high enough and the play through is low enough it is profitable as you only lose approx 1-2% of your total bets. I just need the best casino to do this at.

This is called "hustling sign up bonuses"

To be successful, you need to figure
1. the amount of cash value the casinos gives you as a promotion
2. the expected amount of loss as a result of putting the minimum amount of money into action based on the required play to cash out the promotional bonus.

1. Figuring the amount of cash the casinos gives you is easy.
2. To figure the amount of expected loss, you need to first multiple the cash out requirement as specified by the terms on the website by the amount of oney it applies to toe get the total bets you must make. Once you have figured out the total dollar amount of bets you must make, then you multiply it by the hosue advantage of the game you are playing, In blackjack, it usually falls around 0.4-0.7% with basic strategy the house advantage will vary based on the rules, you can use this link to figure the hosue advantage of a game in question.

http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack/house-edge-calculator.html

so again, to figure the amount you are expecting to lose, you multiply the house edge by the amount fo money you are gogin to put into action.

When you have both, you can see if they are giving you more money than you are expecting to lose, if they are giving you more money, the difference between those two numbers is the amount you are expectign to walk away with when all is said and done.

NOTE, that online casinos, use infinate deck games to get odds from that link you should add 0.03% to the numbers you get from selecting 8 decks to get a more accurate representation of an infinate deck game.

gaming mathematics?

Anybody familiar with the math in card counting in blackjack?
A system where there's a Hi-low count, example, assigns 2 - 6 as +1, 7 - 9 as 0, and Tens and Aces as -1.
There was a book published, i cannot remember its title. In the book there was tables to show you when to Hit/Stand/Split/Double Down. Not only i am looking for that book, but also for that system online. I googled "winning betting strategies" and "winning betting systems",but couldn't find this book or this system described online.

= The "wizard of odds" has a brief discussion of card counting strategies. He also has print out cards showing "basic strategy". Equally important he has a survey of all the blackjack games in Vegas. This helps you find a game that has a low house edge to begin with. Card counting has a lot less to overcome.
= For instance, the "El Cortez" and the "Four Queens" casino in downtown Vegas are the only casinos that still deal single deck "full blackjack payout (3:2)" blackjack.
This is the closest game that currently exists that is similar to blackjack in the early 1960's when "card counting" became well known. The difference is now that a dealer "hits on a soft 17", the player is not allowed to "double after he splits" or to "resplit aces" and the house only deals about 30-35 cards of the deck.
= Hypothetically if you played the single deck game above but the dealer "hits on soft 17" and you could "double after you split" the casino would have a slightly negative edge against "basic strategy" even without card counting. This would be the game as it existed in the early 1960's when "Beat the Dealer" was published. Of course, in the early 1960's people didn't completely know "basic strategy" because you can't figure it out without a computer. In addition, the casino would just cheat you if you won too much.
= I've noticed at the El Cortez that since the dealers are very new and often speak very little English, that they forget what they are doing and deal as many as 44 cards You can see them stop and make a face like they knew they made a mistake, but they can't change their minds once they start. Dealing near the bottom of the deck is a huge advantage a card counter can exploit.
= Another advantage of the survey is that most casinos have a "good game" with low house edge and a "bad game". Four Queens usually only has one good table, while El Cortez has three good tables and three bad tables.

Blackjack strategies help please!?

Yesterday I played at an Indian Casino. Table limits were $5-500. I have read many books on blackjack. I never read anything like I saw. When I arrived at the table (3rd base) a lady was playing 3 hands at $500. She had about $2300 in black chips, 500 in green and 75 in red chips.
She ended up losing everything, and going into her purse for about $1200 more.

Gambling theories are widespread. There are many 'rules' for how and when to bet, how much to bet, how to place your chips on the table, and even what expression to hold on your face.

Truth is, gambling is an individual activity. The idea is to get that rush that comes from risking what's yours, so you bet amounts that make you nervous. There's no sport in betting nickles if your worth is millions.

So, the idea that the woman needed to hold 80 times the amount she was betting only points to conservative play. Conservative play is something done by people who are killing time. They will ante up for every poker hand, and fold often since they will mostly have no immediate chance for a winning hand. When those folks suddenly bet, you can be sure that they hold a good pair of cards in the hole.

Finally, as far as the guy who didn't take a hit card when holding the 3+2, his activity has no bearing on the others' play at the table - he had an even chance of either getting or not getting the dealer's bust card. The woman would have done well to simply play all of the positions on the table if she wanted to control how any particular position drew or stood.

If one wants to be in control of one's destiny when gambling, one should be sure no outsiders take a seat at the table to change one's understanding of the rules.

Gambling Probabilities?

You have $2 and you need $8. You can reach your goal by a fair gamble, i.e. at each time you bet your chance of winning is p = 0:5; if you win, you get back your wager and your win (an amount equal to your wager); if you lose, you do not get anything back. Let us consider the following two strategies:

(1) bold strategy:
1st gamble: 50% of time bank ($2) lost, 50% won - bank=$4.
2nd gamble: 50% of time bank ($4) lost, 50% attain goal ($8).
Half the games are over in one gamble, half in two = average of 1.5 gambles.
Probability of reaching goal of $8 is .25 (25% of time).

(2) more careful strategy:
Games average 7.5 gambles.
Probability of reaching goal of $8 is .25 (25% of time)

These strategy and all other strategies and systems will have this same outcome. Worth noting is that your betting adversary with $6 is able to survive some loss of capital where you, the player with only $2, cannot. The initial bank ratios $6:$2 are the same as the winning ratios.

Talking (arguing) with a coach after making an insane decision he told me that baseball is a gamble and we must take chances. Is this true? I believe that given certain circumstances you have no choice but to take a chance/gamble but does this mean that all your decisions are a gamble. Is playing baseball a strategy or a gamble?

What are some good betting strategies to win money on sports betting? ?

Is there a specific strategy that you can use to make money? I like betting on football and the players props, or statistics. I noticed that if you bet over on the completions on a team that passes a lot than I ussually win. Does anyone have a favorite betting strategy?

I've answered your other two questions so I won't repeat any of that info, but at http://GamblingReviewsSite.com/freepicks you will find a link to the strategy that I personally use to profit with sports betting. It is a system that can work whether your bankroll is $100,00 or $10! There is nothing to purchase, it's all free information to help you win! Props are usually just for fun, but there are some particular ones that you can exploit. One of my faves has always been "Last play of the game a QB rush" I take that on the YES as a kneel down is considered a rush and I hit more often than not as I take it on blowout type games. Good luck!

What is your betting strategy when playing craps in vegas?

Please, serious answers only. I think this could be helpful for myself and others. Thanks.

A person should start with a pass line bet with full odds. Next step would be to have come bets also with full odds. Remember the flat bet will be paid even money. It is the odds that will make the money. Once a player get comfortable with the game, place bets should be the next step. The trick with place bets is to press these bets at least one unit every time they hit.

Try avoiding the field and prop bets such as the hop bets. These are one roll bets. If you want to play the hard way bets always parlay them.
