Poker: Table I, Game I

[ceptimus]

Okay, here we go. I intend to use RCC's (RCC is aka suddenly) rules, as he seems to know what he's doing - these are in the linky from the opening post, but I'll try and explain them as we go along, as most of us here are forum poker newbies.

I'm a newbie at texas holdem myself. If I do something stupid, I'm sure you'll let me know, and we'll sort the problem out, or start over if things are ruined.

There is a beginners introduction to the rules of texas holdem here (http://www.texasholdem-poker.com/beginnersintro.php)

Each of us has 20 chips to start. I'll explain what the numbers and letters mean below. We're seated at the table like this:

Hand 1 preflop

1. livius drusus (20)D
2. Leesifer (19)sb Post 1
3. Widget (18)bb Post 2
4. beyelzu (20)
5. viscousmemories (20)
6. godfry n. glad (20)
7. quiet bear (20)
8. D. Scarlatti (20)
9. Godwhacker (20)
0. slimshady2357 (20)

The numbers in brackets are how many chips you have left - most of you have 20, but Lees and Widget have already put some chips in the pot - see below. liv is the Dealer for the first hand - that's what the D means. 'Hand 1 Preflop' means that this is the first hand you've been dealt, and you've not seen the community cards yet that everyone shares to make the complete hand (these are called the flop).

Lees and Widget have 'posted the blinds.' As they are seated next to the dealer, they have to put a predetermined number of chips in the pot to get things going. Lees is the 'small blind' for this hand and has had to put one chip in the pot, Widget is the 'big blind' and has put two chips in.

As soon as I've posted this, I'll be PM-ing you your two-card hand, and then we then have a round of betting (called the 'pre-flop') before you get to see any more cards.

The player after the big blind, beyelzu in this instance, will be the first to act. He can either raise, call or fold - he does this by posting in this thread - then it's vm's turn and so on... Don't post out of turn, please be patient.

You can pm or email people to remind them that it's their turn to act. People can also PM me, if they know in advance what they intend to do, and I'll post for them.

If you decide to raise, please say what you're raising to, rather than how much you're raising - this makes it easier for others to know the current bet, without tracking back. The first round of betting might go something like this:

beyelzu "fold"
viscousmemories "raise it to 5"
godfry n. glad "fold"
quiet bear "fold"
D. Scarlatti "raise it to 8"
Godwhacker "fold"
slimshady2357 "call"
livius drusus "fold"
Leesifer "call"
Widget "fold"
viscousmemories "call"

In this example, Scarlatti was the last person to bet, the preflop action concludes when we get back to him, and then we'll move onto the next stage.

I'll start a parallel thread for questions and comments now - please keep this thread just for your game actions - so that it's easy for everyone to follow the play.

Okay, first to post, once he gets his cards is beyelzu, then vm, then godfry, and so on...

[beyelzu]

Hand 1 flop

:7s: :qs: :qh:

Pot = 52

1. livius drusus (12)D
2. Leesifer (12)sb :larrow: next to act
3. Widget (12)bb
4. beyelzu (16)
5. viscousmemories (12)
6. godfry n. glad (20)
7. quiet bear (12)
8. D. Scarlatti (12)
9. Godwhacker (20)
0. slimshady2357 (20)

Okay now you can see the flop, and you bet again. The betting always starts with the first player who is still in, after the dealer. In this case, that's Lees. There are still two more community cards to come, and you'll see them, one at time, as each round of betting concludes. There will then be a final round of betting before the cards are shown and the pot then goes to the winner(s). We then start again with the next hand.

Unless and until someone bets this time, you have the additional option of "check." This means you don't put any money in the pot, but you keep your cards and the play passes to the next person. If someone does bet, then (s)he says something like, "I bet 2", and then everyone after has to call, fold or raise as before.

[Leesifer]

[ceptimus]

At the end of the flop round of betting this was the state of the table:

:7s: :qs: :qh:

Pot = 76

1. livius drusus (0)D
2. Leesifer (0)sb
3. Widget (12)bb
4. beyelzu (16)
5. viscousmemories (12)
6. godfry n. glad (20)
7. quiet bear (12)
8. D. Scarlatti (12)
9. Godwhacker (20)
0. slimshady2357 (20)

The turn card is:
:jackd:

(lees and liv can only check, as they have no :ff:lorins left to bet with

And the river card is (scroll for it)....




























:5s:

Again Lees and liv can only check, so we move to the showdown.

Lees was last to call, so liv shows first:

liv:
:qs: :qh: :8s: :8d: :jackd: Two Pair, Queens and Eights.

Lees:
:qs: :qh: :qc: :jackd: :jc: Full House, Queens and Jacks.

Lees wins the pot, and we must, alas, bid adieu to our dealer and admin.

I'll post the current standings in the next post, as it's the start of the next hand.

[ceptimus]

Hand 2 preflop

Pot = 3

1. Leesifer (76)D

(remember, you can't check on this first round of betting as bey's automatic 'big blind' bet has already set the bet at 2. You can only fold, call or raise this time.)

You should start getting your hole cards by PM within a few minutes of this post.

[viscousmemories]

[Leesifer]

[godfry n. glad]

So that's it...right?

The pots right?

Are we doing high-card poker here? Or, does somebody have a pair? Other than the pair of 2 showing, that is.

[Leesifer]

cep will be along to show us the hands, godfry.

[ceptimus]

:tsktsk: Tight ship, as Scarlatti would say.

Right, last person to call (seems like ages ago, now) was Lees, so godfry is first to show:

godfry n. glad
:2c: :2s: :ac: :kings: :jc: Pair of twos

slimshady2357
:2c: :2s: :ah: :jc: :10d: Also a Pair of twos, but so far, godfry is the winner, because of the king.

Leesifer
:2c: :2s: :2h: :jc: :10d: Three of a kind!

So Lees wins the pot again!

Okay, next hand coming soon.

Hand 3 flop

:7s: :8d: :10d:

Main Pot = 48, Side Pot (Lees, bey and godfry only) = 6

1. Leesifer (75)
2. Widget (11)D
3. beyelzu (0)sb
4. viscousmemories (0)bb
5. godfry n. glad (1) :larrow: next to act
6. quiet bear (12)
7. D. Scarlatti (12)
8. Godwhacker (20)
9. slimshady2357 (15)

bey and vm are already all in, so can only check. Therefore godfry is next to bet.

[slimshady2357]

Hand 3 flop

:7s: :8d: :10d:

Pot = 54

1. Leesifer (75)
2. Widget (11)D
3. beyelzu (0)sb
4. viscousmemories (-2)bb
5. godfry n. glad (1) :larrow: next to act
6. quiet bear (12)
7. D. Scarlatti (12)
8. Godwhacker (20)
9. slimshady2357 (15)

bey and vm are already all in, so can only check. Therefore godfry is next to bet.

vm cannot be at -2, he should be at 0.

Since vm can only put 12 into the main pot, then he can only win back 12 from each other player in the pot. Therefore the main pot = 48.

But bey bet 14 in total, so he, godfry and lees have put another 2 each into the side pot, which only they can win. The side pot = 6

The total of the two pots still equals 54, but vm can only win the main pot. The rest can win either or both pots.

[ceptimus]

Comments in the comments thread, please. And I shall post my answer there.

[godfry n. glad]

I might as well kick in my last :ff:lorin. I raise 1.

[Leesifer]

Call!

[ceptimus]

Hand 3 turn and river

Main Pot = 48, Side Pot 1 (Lees, bey and godfry) = 6, Side pot 2 (godfry and Lees) = 2

1. Leesifer (74)
2. Widget (11)D
3. beyelzu (0)sb
4. viscousmemories (0)bb
5. godfry n. glad (0)
6. quiet bear (12)
7. D. Scarlatti (12)
8. Godwhacker (20)
9. slimshady2357 (15)

Two of the three remaining players are all in, so there can be no further betting.

The turn card
:7s: :8d: :10d: :ah:
and the river
:7s: :8d: :10d: :ah: :3d:
Last player to call in both betting rounds was Lees, so we start with the player to her left. I'm not sure if I should handle the side pots first or last, but I'll just go round the table this time, and post who won what at the end. If there's a better order to do it in, please let me know in the comments thread.

beyelzu's hand:
:as: :ah: :7s: :7h: :10d: Two Pair
godfry n. glad's hand:
:10d: :10h: :ah: :jackd: :8d: Pair of tens
viscousmemories' hand:
:ah: :qc: :js: :10d: :8d: Ace high
Leesifer's hand:
:ac: :ah: :10d: :9c: :8d: Pair of Aces
bey wins the main pot and first side pot. Lees wins the smaller side pot.

We have to say goodbye to godfry n. glad and viscousmemories :sadbye:
On to the next hand, where you'll also see the current chip tallies.

[godfry n. glad]

It's not going to change the outcome, but I had a pair of 10s, a diamond and a heart.

Leesifer:9s: :10c: :jh: :qc: :4h: Almost a straight. :banana: But actually just Queen high. :sadnana:
Widget:as: :2d: :3c: :4h: :jh: Another 'almost' straight, but the winner nethertheless with Ace high. :cheer:

Edit: :blush: Oops. :blush: I missed the fact that Widget actually has a pair of threes.

:3c: :3d: :as: :jh: :9s:


Widget wins the pot, and D. Scarlatti, alas, must leave the table. :sadbye:

why not?

[Godwhacker]

Fold.

[Leesifer]

Fold

[ceptimus]

beyelzu is off on a weekend camping trip, but based on a PM he sent me, I shall call for him.

So the bet is 7 to quiet bear, who has already put 5 in.

It'll cost you 2 :ff:lorins to call, quiet bear, or you can fold or raise if you wish.

If you don't raise, we'll move onto the flop, but there's no rush as we'll then have to wait for bey to bet anyway (or for 24 hours if that happens first).

[ceptimus]

I'll call for quiet bear.

[ceptimus]

quiet bear goes all in via PM.

Godwhacker is already all in, so now it's up to Lees. She can either fold or go all in. Either way, we can move straight to the show (no more :ff:lorins to bet).

It'll be at least 20 hours before I'm back on the forum after this post, so I apologise in advance for the delay.

[Leesifer]

Lees'

Bey's

The outcome:
Lees wins all the pots (in Texas Holdem, a flush beats a straight).

You've already put 2 (big blind) in the pot, slim, so it'll cost you 17 to stay in this hand.

As we now move to the 11th hand, the blind bets will increase - see the OP in the 'Anyone...' thread for a link to the rules.

Isn't it my turn?

[ceptimus]

No Lees. :nope: Each round of betting starts with the player after the dealer. In the preflop round, then Widget and slimshady2357 were first and second after the dealer, but they had to make the automatic 'blind' bets. As there are only three of you left at the table, that meant that you, the dealer this time, were the first one to post an action. There aren't any blind bets after the first round of betting, so it's Widget's turn to act first from now on (till the end of this hand, unless he folds).

Widget can fold (but that would be pointless), check, or bet. Checking is the same as betting zero.

I suggest that anyone finding themself in Widget's position in future, should PM me with the instruction, "Keep checking for me please, unless someone bets in which case I fold." At least that way, you'll have a chance of still winning the hand, even if you're away.
