Squeeze

cj2111 — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:07:17 +0000

Poker é um grande desporto porque jogamos contra outros jogadores e não contra o casino/casa. Por isso não precisamos de definir uma estratégia antes de chegar à mesa, tal como fazemos quando jogamos Blackjack ou Rouleta. Temos de nos ajustar aos adversários. Estamos a jogar com pessoas, e estas gostam de mentir de vez em quando. É graças ao bluff que ganhamos um pot que de outra forma nunca ganharíamos, caso tivéssemos de mostrar as cartas no showdown. É por isso também que os jogadores não ficam tesos a longo prazo, uma vez que jogam uns contra os outros.

Um dos meus bluffs favoritos é o queeze. Este é um movimento onde você faz um grande re-raise depois de dois jogadores já estarem no pot, sendo que o primeiro fez raise e o segundo call. O jogador que fez raise está agora entalado entre você e o outro jogador que já fez call. A isto chamamos de squeeze.

Mesmo tendo odds para fazer call ao seu re-raise, o primeiro jogador está agora a pensar que ainda tem mais um jogador para falar e tem medo que este faça outro raise, e normalmente não poderá fazer call nesta posição.

O segundo jogador pensou que a sua mão era suficientemente boa para fazer o call ao raise inicial e ter posição, mas agora está a pensar que terá de enfrentar outro jogador e sem posição. Este jogador deverá fazer fold e você ganhará o pot.

È uma óptima sensação se você conseguir aplicar esta técnica e levar as fichas, no entanto, tem de ter em atenção várias considerações para poder ter sucesso com este movimento:

1 – Em primeiro lugar terá de acreditar que o primeiro jogador não tem uma mão suficientemente boa para fazer call ao seu re-raise. Terá de ter atenção na mesa para se aperceber quais os jogadores que fazem raise com mãos marginais.

2 – O segundo jogador tem de fazer call e não re-raise. Se ele fez re-raise, provavelmente não fará fold caso você faça re-re-raise. Caso faça apenas call, ele terá uma mão que quererá jogar contra um raise, mas não contra um re-raise.

3 – Você terá de ter uma imagem sólida na mesa, de preferência como sendo um jogador muito tight. Por isso não tente este movimento depois de ter sido apanhado a fazer bluff. Se você chegou ao showdown meia dúzia de vezes na última hora, terá de ter mostrado boas mãos.

4 – Tente não fazer este mesmo movimento duas vezes na mesma sessão (mesmo que tivesse uma boa mão na primeira vez). É uma jogada forte, e com certeza será notada pelos outros jogadores.

A aplicação com sucesso deste movimento poderá fazer com que ganhe muitas fichas numa fase crucial de um torneio.

Eis um exemplo de um squeeze aplicado durante as WSOP 2004:

Foi numa mesa final quando estavam 7 jogadores:

SB era Glen Hughes com $2,375,5000
BB era David Williams com $3.250.000 e
1 Josh Arieh $3,890,000
2 Al Krux $2,175,000
3 Greg Raymer $7,920,000
4 Matt Dean $3,435,000
5 Dan Harrington $2,320,000

As blinds estavam em 40,000/80,000/10,000, o que equivale a dizer que já estavam 190,000 no pot.

Josh Arieh fez raise para 225,000, pouco menos de 3 vezes a BB. Era um dos jogadores mais activos da mesa.

Al Krux fez fold.

Greg Raymer que já não jogava uma mão há muito tempo decidiu fazer call.

Matt Dean fez fold.

Dan Harrington poderia/deveria ter feito fold com o seu , mas o call de Raymer criou o cenário perfeito para fazer squeeze. A mesa estava relativamente loose, e os jogadores estavam tentados a fazer call quando tinham pot ods. Por isso um raise normal de 500k não seria suficiente nesta situação. Harrington decidiu fazer raise para 1,200,000.

Glen Hughes fez fold.

David Williams tinha a melhor mão , mas infelizmente não podia jogar a sua mão, depois de ver um raise, call e um re-raise.

Josh Arieh não sentiu-se confortável para jogar o seu , com dois jogadores atrás de si e fez fold.

Greg Raymer pensava agora que estava contra um Ás com um kicker melhor ou um par médio/alto, o que seria muitas fichas para fazer call com o seu .

Harrington levou este pot com o seu !

A isto eu chamo de Power Squeezeeeeeeeeeeee! Yeahhhh!

Poker School-Intermediate-Part II-The Art of Bluffing

actionthane — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 02:05:51 +0000

Making big hands and playing premium starting cards aren't the only way of winning in poker. If they were then the game wouldn't be half as much fun and wouldn't be surrounded by as much mystique and legend as it is.

Although bluffing is an important part of poker many players overestimate its strength, making the mistake of bluffing too often and at the wrong time. The key ingredient to successful bluffing is information. You need to know the people you're up against, the situation you're in and have an awareness of your own table image.

These three pieces of information can be summed up quickly like this; if you're up against a poor player who calls with anything then you're wasting your time bluffing. If they have hit anything then you're going to get called. Learn it now and remember it forever - you CANNOT bluff a calling station!

Dependent upon the situation you're in you should always consider whether a bluff actually has any chance of succeeding. If it's a single-table tournament and you're trying to bluff a player with just a few chips left then you're probably not going to be successful. In tournament play desperate players will often call with their last few chips and you should always bear that in mind. By all means, put them on the spot for all of their chips if you can easily afford it, but if you don't have all that many chips yourself then bluffing in those sort of situations can be very dangerous.

Your own table image is something that is often not considered by players when they're playing at a table. If you are someone who has been playing very tight for many hands then your bluff has a much better chance of succeeding. Opposing players will suspect that you've finally got a hand and will show more respect to your bet.

However, if you've been betting and raising a lot, and especially if you've been caught trying other bluffs, then you're much more likely to get a call or a re-raise when you attempt your latest bluff. Just as you notice the pattern of behaviour of other players at the table, they are as likely to notice yours.

Information also comes in the form of the cards you can see on the table. If there is a possible flush or three or four cards to a straight then you've got to decide whether the players you're up against have made that straight or flush or whether they'll believe that you have those hands yourself. Their patterns of betting will hopefully have given you the clues you need to make your big decision.

What you really need to do is to pick your moments well, before you bluff, and after you feel you've got at least some idea of what your opponents are likely to do. Observe other players and their pattern of behaviour and notice if they're unlikely to bet unless they've got a good hand. When timid players check your chances of successfully bluffing them out of the pot are so much greater.

If you're close to reaching the pay-out structure of a single or multi-table tournament then it's usually the case that players tighten up in an effort to make it into the money, and this can be a great time to bluff and steal pots. Again though, you should always be aware of the players you've got at your table and how they're likely to respond if you try to bully them.

In poker you have the stone-cold bluff and the semi-bluff. The stone cold bluff is where you try to win the pot with no hand at all of your own. This is the most dangerous move of all and needs to be executed perfectly, especially in No Limit games, or Pot Limit games where the pot has grown substantially. If you get this move wrong then you're probably going to lose a lot of chips and possibly even look a little bit stupid.

The semi-bluff is usually the better way to go. This can be defined as making an attempt to win the pot when you don't have a made hand, but do possess one which could improve with the addition of another card, even if it is a long shot to hit for you.

An example of a semi-bluff can be shown here. Say you have A-10 and the flop comes down J-9-8. You have nothing better than ace high at that moment but if you do try a bluff and are called then you still have the chance to hit a queen or 7 for your straight and also an ace to give you the top pair. Even if you're called by a better hand you still have a chance to make a stronger hand yourself.

The advantage of the semi-bluff over the stone-cold bluff is that you have two ways to win with it. The stone cold bluff can only win if your opponents fold. However, the semi-bluff can win if they either fold or you hit the cards you need to make your hand!

Bluffing in poker is an art-form but it is generally harder to bluff online than it is in a bricks and mortar casino. You have less tells to go with as it is usually much harder to read your opponents through a PC screen.

However, if you practice enough and always remember the golden rules of information and timing then bluffing can be a very profitable exercise indeed.

Boursicocotte

Lola — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:00:44 +0000

"Boursicocotte" est un jeu de carte aux illustrations rigolotes. C’est un jeu d’enchère et de négociation avec des règles faciles à apprendre.

Le but du jeu est d’acheter des animaux soit aux enchères avec l’argent reçu au départ soit en faisant des tractations avec vos adversaires.

Il faut en plus tenter de rassembler le maximum de familles de 4 animaux identiques. Les négociations s’annoncent intéressantes !!!

C'est un jeu de négociation, bluff, d’enchère et de collection.

La boîte contient:

40 cartes d'animaux (10 familles de 4 animaux).
55 cartes d'argent.

Règles du jeu:
Pour commencer, mélanger les cartes d'animaux et placer le tas face cachée au centre de la table. Chaque joueur reçoit des cartes d'argent : deux cartes 0, quatre cartes 10 et une carte 50, et les conserve discrètement en main. Placer les cartes d'argent restantes au centre de la table.

A chaque tour, un joueur peut soit mettre un animal aux enchères soit proposer un marchandage à un autre joueur.

Pour mettre un animal aux enchères, il commence par retourner la première carte animal du tas. Les autres joueurs enchérissent sur la carte s’ils souhaitent l’avoir. Chaque offre doit obligatoirement être supérieure à la précédente.

Quand les enchères sont terminées, le joueur peut :

Accepter l’enchère sur son animal : il donne la carte animal au meilleur enchérisseur qui le paie en échange.
Payer le montant de l’enchère : il conserve la carte animal et paie le montant de l’enchère.
Conserver la carte animal gratuitement si personne n’a proposé d’enchère.

Attention, les vendeurs ne rendent pas la monnaie sur les enchères !

Le bluff est plus qu’autorisé pour faire monter les enchères, mais gare aux mauvais payeurs car si l'enchérisseur ne possède pas assez d'argent, il doit montrer son jeu à ses adversaires et il ne peut pas jouer au tour suivant.

Pour faire un échange,le joueur propose le marchandage d’une ou de plusieurs cartes d’une espèce d'animal à un autre joueur. Les deux joueurs doivent posséder au minimum le nombre de carte mises en jeu dans l’espèce demandée.

L’autre joueur ne peut pas refuser l’échange.

Le joueur souhaitant faire l’échange propose un prix en mettant face cachée des cartes d’argent.

L'autre joueur peut :

Accepter l'offre dans ce cas les joueurs procèdent à l’échange.
Faire une contre-proposition : il propose à son tour un prix avec ses cartes d’argent face cachées. Les joueurs s’échangent leurs cartes d'argent sans montrer aux autres. Celui qui a fait la plus grosse offre prend la ou les cartes d'animaux.

En cours de partie, lorsqu'un âne est pioché, chaque joueur prend une carte de 50 au premier âne, 100 au deuxième, 200 au troisième et 500 au quatrième.

La partie s'arrête lorsqu’il n’y a plus de carte d’animal. Chaque joueur compte ses points, en additionnant la valeur de chacune de ses familles, et en multipliant par le nombre de familles. Le joueur ayant le plus grand score gagne la partie !!!

Jeu de : Rüdiger Koltze.
Edition : Asmodée.
Pour : 3 à 5 joueurs.
A partir : de 10 ans.
Durée : de 60 min.
