Poker Chip Colors
I’ve never memorized the standard colors used for different poker chip denominations, so I looked them up. Thought I’d post them here as well for reference.
- White - $1
- Red - $5
- Blue - $10
- Green - $25
- Black - $100
Money Back in Spades
You know the saying that ends with “money back in spades.” We’ve all heard it in different ways…
- Earned his money back in spades.
- Repaid their money back in spades.
- etc…
Why spades? If we’re talking money, shouldn’t diamonds be the more expensive suit in a deck of cards?
Heads Up SNGs
I still haven’t been playing much poker, but wanted to write something, so here you have it.
Once a week or so I get the urge to play for a quick hour or so and my game of choice has been heads up sit ‘n go tournaments on Noble Poker. I like the blind levels and the different buyins they have available. Rarely does it ever take more than a minute or two to get a game started no matter which buyin I choose to play. For the most part I’ve been playing from $20-$50 games and winning more than I lose. Last week I even took a shot playing an Omaha HU SNG and won! I’ll be the first to admit I had no clue what I was doing. Either I made the right moves at the right times or got extremely lucky. If I was a gambler I’d bet on door #2.
The reason I like the HU SNG so much is because they’re fast, yet still provide a nice challenge. You have to constantly monitor your opponents betting patterns and it’s not too tough to figure them out after a few hands. One of the toughest calls I have is calling a big raise on the river with a medium pair even though I think my opponent is simply following through with a bluff. I always like to have the chip lead and end up thinking I could find a better spot to take advantage.
Even though I’m rarely playing (but enjoying everything else about life a LOT more) I learn each time I play these. I try to take the upper hand by being aggressive right from the start, but I find the most challenge when I run into the same type of player. Just typing this makes me want to run home and jump in a game right now. I still enjoy playing poker, but have come to realize I’ll never be a great player in any of the games, so it’s a lot smarter to spend my time doing other things.
John Daly A Gambler? No Way!
Darren McCarty’s problems are nothing compared to recent claims made by pro golfer John Daly. According to ESPN.com Daly has lost $50-60 million gambling. That’s a lot of money.
