  1. These are the basic rules for Texas Old'ham Poker.

     

    The Shuffle, The Deal and The Blinds

     

    The dealer shuffles a standard 52-card deck.

     

     

    Most Texas Hold 'Em Poker games start with the two players to the left of the dealer (the button) putting a predetermined amount of money into the pot before any cards are dealt, ensuring that there's something to play for on every hand. This is called "posting the blinds." Most often, the "first blind" -- the player to the left of the dealer -- puts up half the minimum bet, and the "second blind" puts up the full minimum bet.

     

    Each player is dealt two cards, face down. These are known as the "hole cards."

     

    Betting Begins

     

    A round of betting takes place, beginning with the player to the left of the two who posted the blinds. Players can call, raise, or fold when it's their turn to bet.

     

    The Flop

     

    After the first betting round, the dealer discards the top card of the deck. This is called burning the card and is done to ensure that no one accidentally saw the top card, and to help prevent cheating.

     

    The dealer then flips the next three cards face up on the table. These cards are called the "flop."

     

    NOTE: Eventually, a total of five community cards will be placed face up on the table. Players can use any combination of the community cards and their own two hole cards to form the best possible five-card Poker hand.

     

    After the flop, another round of betting takes place, beginning with the player to the left of the dealer (the button). During this and all future rounds of betting, players can check, call, raise, or fold when it's their turn to bet.

     

    Fourth Street

     

    The dealer burns another card and plays one more face up onto the table. This, the fourth community card, is called the "turn" or "Fourth Street."

     

    The player to the left of the dealer (the button) begins the third round of betting.

     

    Fifth Street

     

    The dealer burns another card before placing the final face-up card on the table. This card is called the "river" or "Fifth Street."

     

    Final Betting and The Winner

     

    Players can now use any combination of seven cards -- the five community cards and the two hole cards known only to them -- to form the best possible five-card Poker hand.

     

    The fourth and final round of betting starts with the player to the left of the dealer (the button).

     

    After the final betting round, all players who remain in the game reveal their hands. The player who made the initial bet or the player who made the last raise shows their hand first.

     

    The player with the best hand wins. These would be as follows:

    i'll have some rick if there's any places left,will you let me know if i'm in or not by tomorrow cos i wont have access to the laptop during the week cheers.

  2. i saw a fat bird in the pub the other nite,i said to her "excuse me love, i wanna give you one" she said "how dare you,i wouldnt go anywhere near you".i said"i wouldnt go near you either.i was giving you marks outta ten ya fat bitch".

  3. I'll answer.

     

    Very Very good reputation within the game for his coaching methods. Excellent contacts throughout the game, especially City, where we could use their Reserves to our advantage. Seems eager to take the job, will have the fans onside immediately. No "You :censored: big chinned Bastard" in September, he would be given the time ala Sheridan. And, finally, I'm sick of so called "proven" managers who failed to make the grade for us.

     

    Same as Carl, for me, Bunn or Butt. I desperately hope Andy Ritchie stays as far away as possible.

    cheers lee,maybe just maybe he's the man for the job.

  4. Gannon won't happen, for one he doesnt like working with a contract (although I suppose that would suit us given the rate of how we get rid of managers)

     

    Frankie Bunn all the way for me, failing that then take a gamble on Nicky Butt

    just out of interest carl,why frankie bunn?

  5. get rid of them all, and dave acknowledge the fans who made the journey at the end ffs and the three loudest songs 2nd half were see title, we want penny out an get out of our club.a terrible end to our last away game worse team ive seen in years but like a mug i,ll be there on sat and as per a privaledge to be sat with the blues

    thats the spirit boy

  6. It's bizarre that 2nd goal...

     

    1st - JJ's clearly obstructed by another Walsall player as he tries to get back and cover!

    2nd - He then gets past the obstructing player and puts in the weakest, pissiest tackle I've ever seen

    3rd - The arm comes out into his face

    4th - He shunts the guy from behind

     

    3 things could've come to our rescue in that attacking moment but instead we end up ultimately with the penalty against us with JJ being, quite frankly, an idiot. Just how it's going at present!

    is that whats goin to happen tomorrow bb80.

  7. :lol:

     

    Tbh... pretty well known United do this, and when you have thousands of people on a waiting list forthis exact privilige, its like it or lump it i'm afraid. I'm sure the OP's mate will moan about this, but still lord over the fact he is a united ST holder at every opportunity.

    the thing about thousands on a waiting list was all a myth bigfin created by utd themselves to put pressure on st holders to renew.

  8. My mate - a long time ManUre fan - told me that ManUre automatically debits all its season ticket holder's bank accounts with the full ticket value for each and every Champions League or FA Cup home fixture as it arises, this whether the season ticket holder wants to go or not!

     

    He also said that weak excuses like "the dog ate my bank account and therefore I do not want a ticket for the mouthwatering Mansfield (h) FA Cup 3rd round game" are treated with very short shrift by the ManUre management; and that effectively 2 such 'strikes' could mean that you lose your season ticket renewal rights!!

     

    My mate has often had a cup game ticket bought for him by ManUre at £40+ each which he didn't use because of other commitments etc.

     

    Imagine the uproar if the 3 Amigos adopted a similar policy? Mind you I'd certainly like the opportunity to have a good moan about an unwanted Champions League ticket!!!! :lol:

    they've been doing it for a good few years now according to a mate who was a season ticket holder there,not to bad if you know you can sell them to a mate.think it was the league cup games what pissed him off the most mind,said it was a liscence to print money,he didnt renew his ticket this season (£900) said he was getting priced out of it,his dad aswell whose been going every season since the sixties.

  9. I only think it matters because we seem set to lose a portion of our fanbase who will not be replaced to any significant extent by the residents of Failsworth and the parts of Manchester and Tameside that surround it.

    you dont know that for certain though do you corporal? unless you've been to failsworth and done a survey with the residents.people say one thing and do the opposite.
