How do I place opening bets in poker games?

Online, click the post blinds automatically button. In a casino, put out the ante before the cards are dealt. If it's a blind game, post the blind when the button is two seats to your left.

If you are head up, post the small blind when you have the dealer button and the big blind when it's not.

I am going to answer this with one of the most annoying, but almost always correct response to any strategy question: "It depends". Based on your question, it is clear that you haven't played a lot, so I'd recommend doing some reading of a strategy book. The books at Two Plus Two are almost always great, and I generally recommend Ed Millers books for beginners.

You can also find lots of great information online - again, check out the forums on 2+2. But aside from specific hands that you should be opening with (and position, etc), if you ever want to be a winning poker player you need to not let the other players get under your skin. Avoiding tilt (sorry for the jargon), is extremely important for your game.

Also, you'll run into all kinds of people at the tables and generally being happy and content will make playing cards all that more enjoyable. Focus on the positive, not on the negative. Remember that those guys on TV are entertainers as much as poker players, they are acting up for the cameras as much as anything.

Both actions are generally prohibited at casinos and discouraged at least in other cash games. Most actions (calls, raises or folds) occurring out-of-turn - when players to the right of the player acting have not yet made decisions as to their own action - are considered improper, for several reasons. First, since actions by a player give information to other players, acting out of turn gives the person in turn information that he normally would not have, to the detriment of players who have already acted.

In some games, even folding in turn when a player has the option to check (because there is no bet facing the player) is considered folding out of turn since it gives away information which, if the player checked, other players would not have. For instance, say that with three players in a hand, Player A has a weak hand but decides to try a bluff with a large opening bet. Player C then folds out of turn while Player B is making up his mind.

Player B now knows that if he folds, A will take the pot, and also knows that he cannot be re-raised if he calls.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
