Not Rich Yet

Read through my chronicles of life, poker, and the quest for a lot of money, not necessarily in that order.

Play like my four yeard old...

So, last night my son said "I want to play with you," and who's going turn down a four year old who wants attention. I offered to play War with him and then my four year old son said those immortal words: "I want to play poker with you!"

Very well!

I got some poker chips and a stack of cards and we came up with the following "poker strategy" that a four year old could handle...

Preflop:
If he has a "good card" (A, K, Q, J), he bets one chip.
If he has two "good cards" he bets two chips.
If his cards "match" (any pocket pair) he bets two chips
If his cards are the same suit, bet one chip.

Flop, Turn, River:
If you "match" the board (pair up), bet one chip, unless you pair the highest card, in which case you bet two chips.
If you have four of the same suit, bet one chip.
If you have five of the same suit, bet two chips.
Otherwise, check. If your opponent bets, and you have a pocket pair that beats any of the cards on the board, call down, otherwise fold.

For a four year old, not too bad. Think I should put him at the play money heads up tables and see how he does?
