The Poker Sip is a card poker game that was originated by the famous poker player Danny Heitman. The game involves the players playing with a single deck of cards (instead of the usual nine or fifteen decks) and uses the same basic strategy as regular Poker Online, with the main difference being that the cards dealt are dealt from the Ace to Jack, and the Ace to King. The player is dealt five cards from his initial hand, and from this he must choose one card. This card is called the "Sip" and is used for betting or playing in rounds or tournaments.
The five cards that the hand contains can be aces, kings, queens, jack-of-alls, or whatever suits your taste. The player chooses a card from his initial hand by either calling it a straight, raising it by two, or folding it by two. The player then chooses which suit to discard from his hand by raising it by two, discarding from his side a straight, raising a two by one, or folding. After all of these moves, the player takes the two cards from his original hand that have been discarded and plays with them to bet or play.
The player is also dealt one another three cards, called the Royal Flush, which can either be Ace, King, Queen, Jack, King, Deuce or any other suit. This card is usually a bluff, and if the right player plays this card, they will win the whole pot. The Royal Flush has a face value of ten, so if you play it, you will win the pot, as a single Royal Flush is worth ten or more to the house. If you do not have a pair of these cards, you may consider getting a seven, or folding it. The only exception to this is if the player has more hands that suit, which allows him to fold his Seven.
The basic betting rules of poker remain the same as for regular poker. The player decides whether to bet, and how much he is willing to bet, according to what the pot is. The player may also bet to increase the ante of the pot, or if the pot is too small, he may lay bets, which will bring the pot down a little bit further.
Once you have made your first bet, the next one is called the "Raise", and is what the pot will be reduced by if you lose your bet. If you win your first bet, the pot will go up, and so on. Once the pot has reached zero, the last player in the game will call the bet, and win the pot. or at least a part of it if the bet was won or folded.
A player cannot win the game without calling the pot, so a "call" is always better than a raise in poker. The reason for this is that a lot of people make the mistake of calling when the pot is low, thinking that they have the advantage because they have played their opponents out and are in a strong hand. This strategy does work if you have a solid hand and know exactly what you have in front of you. However, it is very rarely an effective in poker, as the dealer will always know when you have an over-pot card in your hand.
