Either he had a flush, or the site has a bug. Most likely he had a flush. There were 4 of the same suit on the board, and one of his aces were of that suit.

Question by bestanswersinchicago: Online Poker (No Limit Holdem) Question?
Okay, was drinking with a buddy last nite and started talking about online poker and had a question we couldn’t agree on.

I see some websites sell programs that supposedly allow you to see other players cards at a table. I guess first off is this possible or is everything to secure for this to happen. If it is possible could a normal person do it or would it take a Genius like Stever Erkle or Dougie Houser to do something like this? I have heard techincally the software does work, however you need to have everyone at the tables ip address which would be difficult to get.

Also, I guess this question is along those same lines but somewhat different. I was telling my buddy how I play in sit and go tournaments of like 10 people sometimes and he said it’s all a scam that friends sit at a table and play together and tell each other their cards to screw everyone else at the table. I’m sure some people do this but do you really think it’s that prevalent that you shouldn’t plya online?
You brought up an interesting point, I think if your not in a game you can sit at a table and watch a game and see players cards. You would think sites would be onto this but maybe not. I’m going to log onto bodog poker and see if I can sit at a table and just do that. I’ll report back whether you can see cards or not.
Okay, just checked, they do guard against that which is good. That would suck if people always knew your hand.
I saw someone commented the poker rooms would be out of business. THey are still making a rake on every game/hand so they are not going out of business. Anyone who has cheat programs are taking money from othe players not the poker room, they are making more money. I’ve also heard people claim the games sorta fixed by making sure people win a good percentage of the time so everyone kind of breaks even and they keep making their rake.

I’ve heard of the “group” play online to do exactly what you are saying….I haven’t seen it for real $ $ $ $ though….usually just a point/token system.

I’ve heard of the programs to let you “see” the other players cards…….the software usually has to do with the site you are at and not an individuals personal IP address…..from what I understand it is used at specific sites so that you can view the full table of cards in one particular game. I also have “met” a few people who run more than one computer at a time so they can double-play or “watch” player(s) as the gamble…..how they cheat this way exactly …. I’m not sure.

Question by Inquisitive: How would i go about making money from casino no limit hold’em poker?
What steps do i need to take to learn advanced texas holdem and what ebooks do you recommend?

Best answer:

Answer by AnteSavant
There is no magic do this to win every time in poker.Also, E-Books are worthless.You need to join training sites, and go out and buy actual books.As to what books it depends on what form of nlhe you are wanting to play – cash,mtt,stt,hu cash,6 max cash,6 max sng,6 max mtt,hu sng.

Sounds to me you are just looking for a quick buick and think because you see pros win money on tv, that you can win to.Be warned that NLHE is the form of poker that is the most swingy.So be prepared to lose hundreds of dollars.If you can’t handle that mentally, then no point in even trying to learn.

Question by andronicus37m: When playing hold’em poker in a casino, does the dealer announce the pot size?
I’ve played hold’em online, but not in a casino (yet). I was just wondering whether the dealer routinely announces what the pot size is after every bet, or if you are supposed to figure it out yourself from the chips that are visible on the table. Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by MalasPalabras
Generally not in a limit game. Its up to the player to keep a running count. IN pot limit they may as well as no limit. I’ve never played or dealt them but there is no reason for them to.

Two tricks you can use.

1.) I would ask the dealer what he takes his rake at and watch for when he completes it.

2.) The dealer should annouce how many players are in the hand before each betting round. Just keep a tally of that (ie 5 to the flop, 3 to the turn 5+3=8 bets). Then multiply it by the smaller limit. in a 3/6 game, 5 on the flop is a total of $ 15 and with a bet and two callers equals 3 bets for a total of 8 bets. 8×3=27 dollars.
