Poker Movies Tank at Theater

When poker players sit down to play their game they look for something called Positive Expectation when making a decision.

Fake Outs

When you fake someone out, you trick them. It is the same thing as a bluff. An out in poker is someone's chance of developing a hand. When it looks like you are going to develop your hand the way you want it to, it is a fake out. It is the same thing as the game bluffing you.

Poker After Dark - Don't Wave Weakly

When six players sit at a poker table and put up $20k of their own money in a winner take all game, these players are going to do their absolute best. Imagine how badly they would want to win if the buy in was $50k instead, which was the case in the Mega Match week of Poker After Dark.

Playing with Nothing

An ugly fact about playing poker is that a lot of the hole cards that you get dealt will be about as useful to you as the Jackson family DNA is to the world's gene pool. In other words, there will be a lot of times when before the flop you have to make decisions with absolutely useless cards.
