The golden Rule of the Poker
The first strategy of a poker game is to read the opponent’s face correctly. According to experienced poker players, if you can read the opponent’s face correctly, then you can win the poker game easily.

The body language of a person like way of holding the cards, hand, leg or arm movement, little twitches, scratching of the chin, flaring of the nostrils, rubbing of the forehead, movement of the Adam’s apple, posture, way of sipping the drink, speech and many others can revel a lot about the card of the player. Reading the body language of fellow players is not at all an easy task. This is just like an art. You can not do that perfectly from the very beginning. The more time you spend on the poker table, the better you learn this art. When you master this trick, then winning the game of poker can be really easy.

Observe your Opponent Minutely

The way, in which the player makes a bet also revels a lot of thing about their hand. If a player is making a bet conservatively, then one thing is sure that he doesn’t possess a great hand. If a player is making a bet enthusiastically, then you could be sure about one thing that he has a good hand, then you should make bet conservatively.

Other Things



There are many other things also. Discussing all of them is not possible in this article. Better you should learn those tricks from any site, over the internet or you can learn the tricks from any experienced player.

Online Casinos for US Players


The US-facing online gambling industry is best described as a constantly changing landscape. At one time existing in a regulatory grey area, thereafter followed by prohibitory legislation (the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, or UIGEA), and more recently marked by attempts at regulating on a federal level, through it all, U.S. residents continue to seek out and play at online gambling destinations. Indeed, there are plenty of online casinos with open-door policies for U.S. residents. The only problem is that some of these sites are poorly managed and/or do not necessarily have the greatest of intentions, while those that do, are oftentimes besieged with difficulties in getting funds transferred to and from players on a timely basis.100-chip-acrylic-chip-tray

In other words, traversing through the available selection of US-friendly online casinos can be a more tedious, and quite frankly, uncertain process. Since there are no regulations specifically protecting U.S. bettors, there isn't as much recourse for players to take if a dispute or denied payment is to arise. The good news is that word gets around very fast on the internet. Therefore, if a player can't make an online casino pay legitimate winnings, a player can post the complaint on any number of gambling forums that exist for this sole purpose. Needless to say, casinos that repeatedly engage in this type of behavior will either go out of business or be forced to rebrand and start over...hopefully having learned a lesson.

That said, online gambling forums are U.S. bettors best friends. Word of mouth is the most powerful ally that any gambler can have, so be sure to make use of this valuable resource. And, of course, there are independent review sites such as OCNet. While the playing field is slightly different in determining the trustworthiness of a U.S. facing online casino, the factors that we use in rating which USA casinos are the best of the lot, remain the same. In terms of the "givens", all US online casinos should hold minimum licensing and software credentials. They are as follows:

Licensing/Regulation: Of the best active regulatory jurisdictions (UK, Gibraltar, Malta, Alderney, Isle of Man), none will permit their license holders to do business with U.S. residents. However, the jurisdictions of Kahnawake, Antigua and Barbuda and Netherlands, Antilles - all respectable licensors in their own right - are all known to be home for many a reputable online casino. While it's true that these jurisdictions could stand to exercise more transparency and foster player relations, improvements have steadily been made over the years. All of the aforementioned now have direct channels for player communications, while more stringent standards to identify active license holders are now being incorporated.

Software: Before the passing of the UIGEA, top tier software platforms, such as Microgaming, Playtech and Cryptologic, dominated the U.S. online gambling market. With these software developers having dropped out of the US market - adopting a no-US policy and prohibiting online casino licensees to do business with U.S. residents - practically all of the traffic at US online casinos currently comes through Real Time Gaming, Vegas Technology, and to a lesser extent - Rival Gaming and Top Game. This could very well change as regulatory laws become more liberalized. However, in the mean time, approved USA casinos must be looked at on a case-by-case basis, especially with software platforms that do not impose ongoing due diligence on license holders or those that permit white labeling, which is when a software platform provides centralized support for a casino licensee. For example, since Real Time Gaming only acts as a software provider, many of their licensees do not hold proper regulatory credentials to ensure a safe bet. Rival Gaming will act as a white label software platform, however, many blunders have befallen on Rival's leading white label licensor operating through a number of online casino brands. That doesn't mean all Rival and RTG casinos fall into this category - there are some truly worthy of your business. That's precisely what we look for in searching out the best USA online casinos to wager at.

Understandably, with software and licensing credentials being met, there simply isn't as comprehensive a selection of US online casinos to play at compared to Europe or before the passing of the UIGEA. In effect, that makes it easier to sort out the best from the mediocre, i.e., those online casinos offering a generous and term-friendly welcome bonus, comprehensive promotions package, monthly tournament schedule, and of course, exceptional customer service.

Speed of payouts is another major factor to consider - even more so than non-US facing betting sites - as it is common experience for US sites to face payment processing setbacks, often manifesting in delayed payouts. This is an ongoing thing that should be monitored, for as the U.S. internet betting landscape changes by the hour, payment difficulties can be incurred by online casinos on any given day. Those US casinos demonstrating the most consistency in delivering payouts when promised within a reasonable time frame (two weeks) are obviously more deserving of the best title.

On a side note, for all U.S. residents reading this, please note that gambling laws pertaining to the internet will vary from state to state. U.S. casino policies will also vary. Some US casinos do not prohibit any US citizens whatsoever, while others may prohibit residents in select states. In general, the State's more commonly imposed with restrictions currently are (in no particular order): Washington, Michigan, Missouri, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Wisconsin, Indiana, Louisiana, Nevada and Illinois, although this could very well change soon for New Jersey and Nevada - both of which are exploring options to legalizing online casinos for us players. Kentucky has been at the front of some controversy, however, this has not proven successful at the current time. Kentucky is currently attempting to seize the domains of several respected gaming sites known to do business with Kentucky citizens.

After careful review we have listed our top USA online casino picks below. This top 10 list is made up of the highest quality online casinos that have proven to offer fair odds, knowledgeable, friendly support teams and on time payouts.

Is There a Place for European Roulette


The dominance of the American version of the game has placed the position of European roulette in jeopardy.  You might be forgiven for thinking that the American version is the original game whereas in reality this is merely a version of the original game. It is important to consider all the important distinctions that are associated with the game. In purely financial terms the house edge is the determinant factor when it comes to developing the right perspective on these games. There are very many theories that have been advanced about the game and some of them have no foundation whatsoever. However you will also get the occasional gems that will define the game in terms that are accessible to most members of the public. When you are looking at the game, it is important to consider all the implications that it brings to the table.

The development of European roulette

European roulette is older than its American sibling. In fact it could be called French roulette. This is one of the simplest gambling games that do not need any particular expertise in order to manage. The basic requirement is that you put the chip on your favorite number and everything else will fall into place. The introduction of American roulette has forced the punters to look closely at the odds and the so called house edge. Therein they have discovered some interesting dynamics which will affect the way that they play the game. There is no doubt that European roulette is in a position where it looks like a poor relative to its American counterpart. This stereotype may not hold water in reality but the truth is that the odds make this situation.marked deck of cards bicycle

You can look at European roulette as a challenge. It is difficult to win when compared o its American version but that might be part of the charm that attracts you to the game. In some ways this game is the answer to the critics that say nasty things about gambling in general. It is argued that gamblers do not have to work for their earnings and will therefore fall into a life of disrepute. That is something that is holding back casinos especially when you consider games such as crap. The higher house edge on European roulette means that the player does not have it all their way. That is something that might break away the argument that gambling has failed to challenge anyone that participates. Instead the gamblers are portrayed as waiting for freebies on all occasions. That is something that is food for thought.

The historical importance of European roulette

This version of the game is rooted in the history of gambling. It would be a pity if such a historical game was lost in the mists of time. Therefore the players that brave European roulette are doing a service to the historical nature of the game. They are bringing out one of the most important aspects of the game. That will preserve the game for future generations.

Card marking


Card marking
      Card marking is the process of altering playing cards in a method only apparent to marker or conspirator. This allows different methods for card sharps to cheat or may be used for magic tricks. To be effective, the distinguishing mark or marks must be done on the obverse side, which are normally uniform. Card marking can sometimes also be called as card bending; it is considered to be the easiest way to mark probably. A cheater marks a card by crimping here.[1] Card marking is often used to cheat when gambling or for card tricks, though many casinos, particularly those in Las Vegas, punch holes through the middle of cards they sell to tourists to prevent cheaters from returning to the game tables after buying the cards and then slipping the favorable cards into their hands when playing.luminous marked playing cards

       Marked cards can be used regardless of who shuffles and deals the cards. However, some more sophisticated marked-cards scams involve additional manipulative skills to steer the cards into the correct positions once the desired cards have been identified.


History
      Historically, the first attempts to mark playing cards involved bends, crimps and tiny bumps, which are called blisters (and resemble the Braille script). Later, when the first designs appeared on the backs of playing cards, cheats began altering the designs on the backs of cards. Hustlers have tried using various inks, pigments, scratches, etc., to add or remove lines or patterns from the back of the card design. Some varieties of card marking include block-out work, cut-out work, scroll work, shade work, tint work, etc. Here is a simple example of how block-out works and die in a hole cup. [2][clarification needed]
However, more recently, science and technology have also enhanced marked-card techniques. The most state-of-the-art technologies are variations of shade techniques.[clarification needed] These new technologies are the most deceptive and futuristic methods for marking cards. Traditional block-out and/or cut-out work[clarification needed] have the disadvantage that they must be read close-up, because the marks are small. On the other hand, another advantage of luminous and juice marked-card technology[clarification needed] is that they can be read close-up or from across a table.

Detecting marked cards

1) Perform the gamblers' riffle test (also known as "going to the movies"). This test allegedly allows a person to detect most marked decks by simply riffling the cards. Looking at the back of the cards while they are being riffled, the marks will allegedly dance around the back of the cards like an old-fashioned cartoon. In fact, one must know exactly what marks to look for, or this method of detection may not work. The riffle test is less effective for detecting cards marked with luminous and juice.
2) Reflect light off the back of the card. Cut-out work (scratches or white ink) will display, as well as many inks or solutions that tend to dull the finish on playing cards because they are alcohol-based. Only the highest quality solutions will not burn the finish of cards. Placing a drop of alcohol on a card and then looking at the finish by reflecting light off the back reveals the dulling effect that these cheap solutions can cause.


Block-out and cut-out work

        In brief, block-out work is simply using the same color ink as the back of the card and coloring in small white areas of the card. For example, sometimes people add ink to the flowers on the back of a card by making the petals narrower or blocking out a bird on the back design.
As far as cut-out work is concerned, people sometimes use a razor to scrap off some of the printed areas of the card. A good example would be to use a razor to scrape off the print on the card. This results in adding (cutting out) a white bird to the back design.


Shade technologies

       Luminous marked cards - These can only be read by using special gimmicked sunglasses or by wearing contact lenses. The original luminous systems used red lenses and greenish ink on the back of red cards. New luminous technology, called Ultra-Luminous, uses far more sophisticated techniques that are based upon different chemical and optical scientific principles than the original luminous systems.
Video-luminous marked cards - As stated above, luminous marked cards are designed to be read by the human eye with the use of filtered sunglasses. However, recently, a new generation of luminous technology has become available. Video-luminous uses marks that can not be seen by any human being, even if they are looking through a luminous filter. The marks can only be read by using custom-designed electronics and filters and displayed on a TV monitor in another room to a partner. Then the card values may be signaled or transmitted to the player who needs to know.
        Video-luminous does not have to be used for cheating. They may be used for magic or by a poker house or person who may want to analyze a card game after the fact. If collusion is suspected, the recorded images of the marked cards may be played back later to detect any unusual play. If a player consistently folds a good hand when a partner plays a better hand, then it can be assumed that collusion is taking place in the game. Since these marks cannot be seen by the human eye, there is no chance of detection of the marks, even by knowledgeable players, during the game. Often such marked decks will only be introduced by the house when suspected colluders are seated.


       Juice-marked cards - The marks are only visible when a person is trained to read the marks (no filtered sunglasses are required, but some practice is required to read the marks).[citation needed] Glasses can be used to make it easier to spot these marks.
Tintwork or shade - This technique uses a tint solution to mark cards, but the marking patterns vary depending upon the back design of the cards being marked.

      Daub - A special paste is used by a player to mark someone else's deck, on the fly, while the cards are being used during a game and even while being watched. This eliminates the need to switch in a pre-marked deck of cards.

      Juice dust - An advanced type of daub, it may be used to make an ad-hoc juiced deck. Like daub, it also allows a player to mark someone else's deck, on the fly, while being watched. The main advantages of juice dust are that it will not dull the finish of the cards and that it works on both paper and 100% plastic playing cards.[clarification needed]

        It is not necessary to mark the entire deck in order to gain an advantage in most types of poker - even marking just one rank (especially the aces) is enough to gain a significant advantage in a game such as Texas hold 'em.
