About Red Dog

Poker rooms in casinos and online poker rooms are a great place to play.

But there are other types of poker played in casinos. In online casinos, such as playtech com casinos, there are a few other versions to consider.

In traditional table poker, the player is taking on other players and the house gets a ?rake? or percentage.

However, in casino poker, there is a house edge.

Here are some of the playtech com casino poker games and how they work. Keep in mind these are not really poker games in the traditional sense but casino games.

1) Caribbean: Each player takes on the bank. You ante and get five cards. After you have seen your hand and the banks first card, you can stay in by increasing your stake to twice the original ante, or surrender or fold, giving up your ante. You have two ways to get money back. If the bank does not have AK or better, your bet is returned. If the banks does have AK or better you win if your hand is better than the bank’s. You get even money on your ante plus odds payoffs for the higher quality of your hand. (Such as 2-1 for two pair, 3-1 for three of a kind, etc.). If the bank has AK or better and your hand is worse than the bank’s hand, you lose your ante and bet.

2) Casino Hold’em: Play begins with each player making an ante wager. As in real hold ‘em, two cards are dealt face down to each player and dealer. The player may examine his own cards. The dealer deal a flop (community cards). A player must decide to either fold or call. If he calls, he must double the ante. The dealer will then deal two more community cards. The dealer will also turn over his own two cards. Essentially, best hand wins, but the dealer must have at least a pair of fours, otherwise the call bet is a push.

3) Let ‘em ride: The player is dealt three cards, the dealer two. The player is trying to get to get any winning poker hand consisting of a pair of 10’s or higher, using all five cards. As in the other games, a player must ante, then decide whether not to continue after getting the three cards. A player can double the original bet or continue without a raise. After that decision, the dealer’s first card is shown, and again the player can raise or continue. A raise has to double the original bet. The player’s three cards combine with the dealer’s two and any hand of tens or higher, the player wins.

4) Pai Gow: Traditional rules, with two hands, a five-card hand and a two card hand.

5) Poker three: This is just a variation on three card poker.

6) Red dog: A variation on the game acey/deucy where suit does not come into play.

7) Tequila: An interesting twist where the player can bet either on a poker hand or a point total. Four cards, a round of betting, then two more cards.

All of these Playtech com games are unique and fun. But keep in mind the important difference from traditional poker: you are playing the house, not other players.

The fish is a poker term for the player who is going to be easiest to take money from. It is said that if you can not spot the fish at your table then you are the fish.

To avoid being instantly marked as the fish make sure not only appear as if this is not your first time in a texas holdem poker room in a casino but that you are there often. Make sure no matter how impressed by the place you are, you appear as if this is just another day playing texas holdem in the casino. If your skills at texas holdem will not allow you to go unnoticed then pick another game like roulette or blackjack.

Make sure you know how to play. Do not come into a casino poker room to thinking you will learn Texas Holdem as you play. This is not Uno it is Texas Holdem Poker and played for real money. I promise you that before you learn the game this way you will be broke and homeless. You should learn to play at home with friends or online in free money poker games against others or against the computer. Then as you improve start to play in online poker rooms for money.

If you were a spy trying to infiltrate into Russia during the cold war the CIA would have you trained on how to speak Russian and the proper idioms and accent as well so that you blend is as a local, well texas holdem has its own language as well and if you want to blend in as an experienced player you have to know the language as a native speaker. This means understanding what others are saying and being able to use the common expressions correctly in normal conversation. Not laughing at a joke because you did not understand it will make you stand out and some people are bound to notice and figure out you are not all you seem to be.

I am sure most of us have seen texas holdem on ESPN television and have sent he way to professional poker players dress. Many of them are wearing clothes will advertisements for poker related items. These players are being paid to advertise these items because of their high likelihood of being put on the TV. Some players wear disguises to try and hide their faces from the other players by wearing hats and glasses to hide their eyes. These players know that a small slip up can cost them the chance at winning the million dollar prize, so to make sure they do nt give up any information to another player they try to hide their faces. You are not playing in the big leagues so to try these things will just make you look stupid since everyone will know you are not a professional player by the fact they do not recognize you. This will then make you stand out and risk you being marked as an inexperienced player or “The Fish”.

Every player at a texas holdem poker table that spots you as the fish will then begin to focus on you till they find your tells, and believe me we all have them. It is just experience that allows some of us to hide them better then others.

If you haven’t heard of Red Dog, perhaps you’ve heard of one of the other names this game is called by-acey-duecey or in-between. If you’ve been to Vegas and haven’t seen this game on the floor, don’t be alarmed. Red Dog is a blast from the past.

The game has dropped in popularity over the past decade and it’s rarely seen. If you want a game where you can just guess and don’t have to think, this is a good game for you. It’s so darn easy to learn.

The game starts with you making a wager-big surprise right. Actually, there is a little bit of thinking involved, because you’ll get to increase that wager. Okay, so you have the wager on the table. Next, the dealer deals two cards face up in the center of the table.

It’s important to note that an Ace is always the high card. So the pecking order goes: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A.

Once the two cards are dealt, the dealer will announce the "spread." The hand is over if there’s no spread.

Let’s say that the first card is a 5 and the second card is a Jack, the spread is five-there are five cards (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) between the two cards. At this time, you can either leave your wager as is or increase it. You can add a new amount that’s up to the value of your original wager. So, if you bet $10 initially, you’re added wager can be up to $10.

The bigger the spread, the lower the potential payout. Here’s a listing of the payoffs.

1 card spread: 5:1

2 card spread: 4:1

3 card spread: 2:1

4 card spread or higher: 1:1

Once you decide whether to place an additional wager or leave your bet as is, a third card is dealt. If it falls between the first two cards, you win-pay is as shown above.

For instance, let’s imagine that the first two cards are a 3 and a 6. You would have a two card spread (4,5). The payout would be 4:1. If that third card is a 4 or 5, you win. If not, you lose.

That’s all there is to Red Dog. It’s an incredibly simple game to learn and play. It’s really the classic "guessing game."

Red Dog can be played with 1-8 decks. And here’s something different. You actually want more decks-unlike Blackjack where less is better. The house edge in Red Dog is about 3.2% with one deck and drops to about 2.8% with eight decks.
