Slots In The Front

If Marsha Brady had been named Poker, Jan would have walked around saying "Poker, Poker, Poker!"

Well guess what folks:


I am Jan Brady.

I play a lot of poker, and when I am not playing poker I can be found thinking about poker, reading about poker, or writing acrostic poetry about poker.

P - Pair
O - Of
K - Kings?
E - Earning
R - Royalties.

So yeah, I guess it is pretty clear that I know a lot about poker. It is also becoming rather obvious that you know very little about poker. So today I decided to chip in, and lend you a hand. If we were playing right now, that last sentence was a full house.

First things first, when you are playing poker you don't want to give away what you have in your hand by doing things like:


Laughing


Crying

Or...


Showing people your cards.

All of these things will tip your opponents off as to what cards you have, and you will probably lose the hand. Except, ironically, that last dude who had four sevens, as that is pretty much impossible to beat, I think.

Which bring me to my next poker tip: What do I play?

The worst cards you can get dealt in poker are


2/7 Offsuit.

The reason these cards suck the most is because they are the lowest cards you can have that don't give you a chance at a straight or flush. This is a hand you would want to fold, unless of course you are playing a round of "Texas Worsties", in which case you go all in.

On the other hand, the best cards you can be dealt are:


Pocket Aces.

Also known as Pocket Rockets, Bullets, or American Airlines. If you see this hand you have two jobs:

Job Number One:


Don't Freak Out.

Too many people forget this rule and act like rookies when they get these cards. You gotta stay cool and collected. Try whistling, or making way too much eye contact. You could also try saying some cool shit like:

"Daddy needs to purchase some new shoes"

OR

"Luck be a lady tonight"

That should throw up a sufficient smoke-screen, so we move onto...

Job Number Two:


Go All In

While you do this, it is again important to say something cool, such as:

"Ride or die, bitches"

OR

"Looks like somebody's taking the bus home"

You can also do cool things while pushing in all your chips, to further intimidate. Some of my current faves are:


The No-Look


The Hand Jive

and...


The Cheat

That should get you where you need to go, and if it doesn't, try reading it again. Like I always say "Pore Over Knowledge: Enjoy Rewards".
