Honestly, im a newbie here and I won’t even start to pretend that I know anything about the stock market. Ive been glued to this sub for a week now and have been reading most of the DD posts. And honestly, most of it were purely speculation. They were really compelling and most of it made sense (to a degree) so that I myself bought into it when it was at 80$, averaged UP a lot (i know im a retard), missed the exit point when it was at the top and now Im holding the bag as a reminder to at least take out some cash when its going good. But thats just a side note.
All of you belittling the holders, such as myself, don’t pretend that you know what’s gonna happen next. Bc your guess is as good as anyones. You have as little information as the rest of us. We all might know whats likely to happen but you don’t run up into a casino and laugh at a guy who goes all in on a number on the roulette table. ITS A GODDAM BET. And yes, the odds of this thing going to the moon are not very good. But it could be still possible. (Don’t ask me how or why, I don’t know jack shit, remember?) So how about you take a step back and let the people who have still skin in the game gamble? If you have more skin in this than you can afford get out and get help. Seriously. But the rest of us. Fuck it ill be going through this hellhole right now just to see if there’s maybe a rocketship waiting for us after all to yeet us right up to the moon and beyond.If not. Well it’ll be the same situation as it is now, most of the money is gone anyways. Imagine texas holdem. The price to see the next card is already paid. So you might aswell stick around to actually see the next card.

I walked in and was immediately awestruck by the ornate interior of the best casino in the world, The Barterer’s Lounge. Some players were walking around with suits and escorts while other people looked like they had not eaten for days. My cohorts? Adam, Bart, Carl, David, and Erin. We decided to have a seat at a “Texas Holdem” table with someone waiting to play. This guy looked like he had just snorted cocaine, after a 2 day bender on whiskey, but hey, “When in Rome” right? Weird thing is, this guy was in a suit and had five escorts. Five! Judging by the sheer boredom of his lady friends, this dude clearly hasn't left this table in over eight hours.
The table seats six and the rules are very clear. At a new table: The only buy-in is allowed once at the beginning of the game. But you don’t have to pay the fifteen dollar entry fee in cash or otherwise until the end of the game. If you go out, only then do you have to pay the cash. We already knew this and we had plenty of cash for a trip to the casino. Woo! Adam had been saving for, jeez, over a decade? Adam’s been family friends since as long as I can remember. Who knows how old the guy is but he’s Bart’s dad and I love them both. Carl lives next door and we do some work from home but mostly sit at home playing some consoles drinking some beer and doing neighborhood poker with David and Erin. They’re an awesome pair. We all looked at one another and visually confirmed that we had exactly fifteen dollars in cash ready for the game because once you sit down, there is no turning back. Security has a person watching every individual one to one while sitting at a table. It is kinda creepy to have someone watching over you, but hey, I know the rules.
Carl and I were already doing a visual check on this guy and figured he’s too whacked out to be a smart player in this poker game. But he can obviously afford the buy-in so we were very happy to have a few more chips to pass around between the five of us at the end of the game. “Frank, you ready?” Carl asks. “Yeah, let’s rock,” I replied. We all sat down together and the player at the table eagerly agreed to play a game with us. Once we all agreed to play together, one of the security guards powered up the dealer. The automaton started whirring up and a few sparks flew from faulty wiring that obviously hadn’t been maintained in years. But if it works for the house, it works for me.
“Sir, this is a casino,” the robot said. I replied, “Duh,” and the dealer dealt our first two private cards each. Our extra player says “Hold on a sec, I want to make a side wager. I want to put a chip in saying that the old fart loses all his money on this first hand.”
The dealer mechanically screeches “This is a side wager separate from the game’s pot.”
We all looked at each other dumbfounded. “Does this guy even know the rules of Texas Holdem?” I thought. I looked at Carl and I knew that is exactly what he was thinking too. “Yea, I’ll call that for a chip.” We all threw a chip in. But not Adam. Why would he? He still has all his chips and as long as he doesn’t do anything stupid, or even bet at all, Kevin loses that bet.
Our extra player was turning out to be a real go-getter, so I wanted to do some small-talk to bring him off the game. “Hey, My name’s Frank. Yours?”
“Kevin,” he says abruptly between the twitches of his eyelids. “Hey Kevin, nice to play with ya dude,” I reply.
Kevin immediately says, “Hold on, I’ll bet another chip that the old man goes under this hand.” Easiest call of my life. Everyone throws another chip in because old man Adam ain’t no fool when it comes to poker. All he has to do is not wager “all-in” on a losing hand and we all get a few extra chips at the end of the hand. We all toss in that chip.
“Alright let’s get on with it,” Kevin barks at the dealer. The first three cards are shown and immediately Kevin wants to do another chip that Adam goes under this hand. We all call.
I ask him, “So what do you do, Kevin?” He says with a straight face, “Well if I’m not here I’m on my jet going between my five mansions.You know what, let’s put in another chip that Ole Yeller flops on this hand.”
I knew this guy was off his rocker and we didn’t care because everyone knows we’re all good for the money or else the “barter rules” come into effect. We all had visually checked our cash before we sat down. Well I don’t actually know about Kevin but I figure he’s good for it considering his escorts had all bought themselves Wendy’s chicken tenders from the food court on Kevin’s credit card.
Play resumes and Kevin puts a few chips on the actual game of poker this time. Adam does nothing, no surprise there. But the rest of us call Kevin’s position. Who knows what each other’s dealt hands are. I only know mine. “So five mansions huh? Nice,” I say. “You do anything else for fun?”
Kevin looks at me like he wasn’t expecting such filth to speak and disgustedly replies, “Well, I like my yacht. It’s got its own docking port for a smaller yacht. So you could say I’m into water sports.” After realizing he spent even a few seconds humoring me, Kevin shouts, “Let’s do three more chips in another side pot that the old man actually literally dies during the game.”
We all chuckled pretty good at that one and threw our three chips in each. “Let’s play.” Kevin demanded. “Show the next card,” he snarled. As the card lands on the table, Kevin bets ten more chips that Adam goes all-in on a losing hand. Seeing as this is the first round of the game and we all had the same chips at buy-in, it’s a no brainer match position for 10 chips. Meanwhile Adam is stone-cold poker face and hasn’t actually put any chips in on the opening three.
“Alright 15 chips on the play,” Kevin absent-mindendly said without even looking at the card. I noticed that he hadn’t even looked at his hand because his two cards were strewn out in front of him in the original place the dealer placed them.
Everyone but Adam plays Kevin’s bet and the showdown resumes. Well, almost resumes. “And I’ll put half of my remaining chips on my initial bet that pops loses all his chips this hand,” Kevin states. And guess what we all did? We called the bet because we’re all keeping track of how many chips were initially given out and this was a no-brainer that we were all on the same pace of losing chips. Except Adam of course because he hadn’t placed any bets so far. He was ready for a few actual full games of poker. I know he had more than only the fifteen dollar pay-out fee for a single game if he lost.
“And I’ll put the rest on my other bet that the boomer literally dies during this game.” We all blankly looked at each other and threw our remaining chips on that bet. But not Adam, why would he? He’s got all his chips from not even Adam’s old but he’s not on death’s door by any means. He lifted weights professionally in his earlier years and still does cardio daily. Naturally, he doesn’t look a day over fifty.
“We have an ‘all-in’ at the table” the junkbot for a dealer said and an extra set of lights flicked on at our table. They were so bright I was getting a terrible glare from an heirloom ring I had on my finger. I rotated the rock to the inside of my finger and made a fist so the glare wouldn’t blind me.
The robot dealer plays out the last card but it doesn’t matter to Kevin or anyone else because we’re all-in. “The player who placed the initial bet shows their hand,” says the dealer.
And we all waited patiently. We sat together in silence for what seemed like forever.
Until Kevin’s casino-assigned agent realized that Kevin was too coked out to do it himself.
“A two of hearts and a seven of clubs from the initial bet maker.” The dealer continues, “There are no additional plays on the field for the bet maker. The player with the best hand wins.”
I only had a pair of three of hearts and a four of diamonds in my hand.
Carl immediately turns his cards over. “A pair of sixes with another on the table. That’s three of a kind.” We all split the earnings of the initial side bet amongst ourselves minus Adam. And since Adam still had a pulse we all split the second pot too. “This game is closed. All players must pay their cash fee for the round. If any players do not have the cash initially agreed upon to enter the game, barter rules come into effect,” the dealer said. We all reached into our pockets and put the fifteen bucks on the table. Kevin reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a ten dollar bill and a half eaten chicken tender. Kevin frantically searches his other pockets for any cash on his person. “Oh shit,” Kevin muttered as his face turned pale. “I must have spent my cash last night when I was more drunk.”
I perk up a bit because I had no idea that there was even a chance to trigger the barter rule with this guy. The dealer asks, “Do you accept the remaining payment of meat to cover the remaining five dollars of this player’s entry fee?” “Hell no!” I shouted. “I want a million bucks, and one of your houses.”
Bart finally chimes in and says, “Me too. Oh yea and I want your jet.” Carl agrees and adds “And the yacht!” David says, “Don’t forget the mini-yacht too.” Erin says, “I know you have a nice car, We’ll take that too.” Kevin slumps into his chair as the dealer asks, “Are there any other terms to this agreement?” We all looked at each other and Adam added, “And an order of tendies all around. But not for Kevin.”
That was a bad move, Kevin.

The third chapter of the definitive Daftar Idn Poker Book is titled, "The Daftar". This is a highly detailed and technical account of all of the rules that are in play during every hand of poker. Included are a number of bonus rounds that are thrown in to up the stakes and allow players who may not be familiar with the game to get a feel for how the games are structured. It goes into detail with regard to the betting rounds and explains why certain betting choices can or cannot be made within the context of the rules of the game.
The book starts off with a short and sweet introduction of the rules. These are followed by a brief discussion of the general strategies that any game of poker should employ. Next comes a detailed look at the various types of betting that one can use and how these choices will affect the possible outcomes of a game. The chapters that follow cover everything from basic beginner strategies and opening betting to advanced betting and tournament betting.
The emphasis in this final section is on choosing the correct types of cards, remembering special betting opportunities, and how to place your bets when you are in a particularly advantageous situation. All of this is done in an orderly fashion that makes it easy to read and understand. The book then goes into discussing the basics of playing cards and how they are used in a regular deck of 52. After this, the book briefly discusses the use of the dominoes in an English version and then goes into a short discussion of the four international rules sets that are in play in the Dominoqq Poker Room. All of this is done in a very short and concise manner that does not try to cover every scenario that could possibly arise in any casino environment.
A very brief and cursory review would say that the layout of the DominoQ Online Learning System is similar to that of most online poker learning systems. However, there are some differences with the layout of the software programs used by DominoQ Online Learning System and some other poker training programs. Most programs for learning poker online will have a standard layout that includes a text editor, practice games, poker chips, the board game, and the game dealer. However, because this is the case with the software program of the DominoQ Online Learning System, the software has been designed in a way so that the layout of the cards used in the game of DominoQ is easily recognized and the players are not likely to confuse what they are looking at on the board.
In this part of the book, the authors briefly discuss principles of chance and skill. Most successful professionals of card games - including the champions of the world - have been trained on a basic set of rules known as "The ABC Way". This is an easy to understand format that informs beginners of the strategies and techniques that professional players use. This also includes information about how to play against the best players in your table and gain the upper hand.
The book includes detailed discussions on playing strategy against aggressive players, the weak hands and strong hands. It also explains the use of the capsize (the flat cap formation) in order to prevent the opponent's from betting high to take advantage of you and make a strong beginning. Another important part of the content is discussing the variations of the game, particularly the No-Limit and the Texas Holdem formats. The authors explain the reasons behind using these variants and the implications for a player who is just starting out with his or her online playing experience. Finally, they conclude their discussion of the data idn poker online Indonesia yang sun, or "rise and shine" rule.

Poker is my primary betting game, and it ought to surely be your top pick, too. No other betting game proposals as a great deal of an occasion to make benefits (other than sports wagering). Regardless, winning at poker has more to do with limit than in every practical sense, some other betting game. In this post, I offer several experiences on which poker frameworks are ideal on the off chance that you need to overpower at the match constantly. I had a light second first thing in my poker calling when I read a short book about Texas holdem from David Sklansky. In that book, he calls attention to that you completely should have the choice to see which hand is the nuts with some unpredictable board. It never happened to me that something that unmistakable was a supporting of poker framework, at any rate consider everything. On the off chance that you wrinkle the nuts without understanding it's the best of every conceivable hand, you'll lose piles of cash. Also, in the event that you acknowledge you're holding the nuts when you're really not, you can place insane extents of cash into the pot just to lose it. In the event that you don't comprehend the nuts and bolts of the game you're playing especially well, you have no suspicion for beating the more experienced players at the table who like the game you're playing. In what manner may you get straightforward with the fundamentals of the game? I overall propose Sa for attempting the play cash kinds of the games on the web to figure out how the wagering and development work prior to trying an authentic cash table live or on the web. The most discernibly ghastly poker method is to be a free, uninvolved player. A free player is something contrary to a tight player, and that just methods a free player takes an interest in a great deal of hands. Taking everything into account, free players don't wrinkle reliably. You can check how free or tight a player is by taking a gander at the amount of pots she takes an interest in. For instance, a player who folds 85% of their hands before the lemon is more close than a player who just cover 60% of their hands before the disappointment. Players can correspondingly have moving levels of partition or comfort during various occasions of the game, as well. You may play preposterously free before the disappointment and exorbitantly close after the lemon.

"Please choose your game, Sir", Val inquired.
I looked around, choosing what will I play. I only had 1 chance to start...
"What happens if I lose the first one?", I asked.
"You will simply be ejected from the Church, without your memories of the place intact", Val explained.
Fair enough. I set my eyes on a poker table, Texas Holdem. I thought I would be able to win easy enough at it.
I placed my bet of the gold coin, in exchange for 2 cards; a set of Queens. I maintained my poker face but inside I was stoked at my great hand. I won that round easy enough with 3 of a kind.
"Okay, now do we keep betting on the gold coins or...?", I asked the dealer only to be met by his silence.
"Keep playing and you will understand, Sir", Val said standing behind me.
I shrugged and was dealt another hand. The King of hearts and Jack of spades. When the river card was revealed to be the 10 of diamonds, I had a Straight in my hand. I looked at my only remaining opponent, some old Chinese guy.
"Your bet, Sir?", the dealer asked him.
"I bet my hearing"
I was confused, "Hearing? What does he mean?"
"Exactly as it sounds, Sir. We don't bet on materialistic thing here, only what you have. The truly valuable thing a human can have, their own body and its function", Val explained.
I was stunned.....and extremely thrilled. Oh I never expected the stake to be this dangerous! I was smiling inside, but maintaining my poker face again I called the bet.
My Straight trumped his 3 of a kind. I won! All of the sudden the old Chinese guy stood up, flailing his arms panicking.
"No...no! Where...where's the sound? I can't hear!", he screamed only to be escorted away by some guards. I laughed a bit.
The night went on and I kept playing different games. I lost some fingers, the ability to say the word "Frog", and a kidney. But in return I won some guy's ability to speak German and an extra heart. This was it! This was the thrill I was seeking for!
"Hey Val, is there like a higher stake room in the Church?", I asked Val. There's always a more exclusive table where people of higher status play. And I want in...
Val looked at me sternly. He moved his finger to his earpiece, seemingly being told something by someone.
"This way, Sir", Val said leading me to the very end of the large hallroom. Beyond the door was a small room about the same as the first waiting room. In there sat a table, with no one else but a man at the other end of it.
"Welcome Mr. Parish. I've been expecting you", the man said.
I noticed Val had left the room. Confidently I walked to the table, sitting opposite the man.
"I'm expected?"
"Of course. An honorable player such as yourself can't escape my sight"
"Who are you?"
"I'm the owner"
"The owner....you're Saint Cajetan", I said more of a statement than a question only to be met by him nodding.
"So, you seek of the highest stake of game. Here we are. Choose your game"
"Let's play poker, Texas Holdem", I suggested. Again the saint nodded.
"What do you say we make this more interesting? Blind bet. You will not know what you lose or gain when you win or lose", he suggested.
Honest, I was afraid to do so. But the rush and the thrill blinded me of what the repercussion might be. Almost immediately I agreed.
The game went underway. Without knowing I had lost the sight of one of my eye and the satisfaction of sneezing. But I won the ability to taste a flavor unknown to man, which was really interesting I might add.
"Well it's been very exciting evening, Mr. Parish. But what do you say we make the next one our last? The ultimate bet of the Church will be the stake", the saint asked.
The ultimate bet....I loved the sound of that. What could it be? I agreed.
I got a great hand then, a set of Kings.
"Do you know want to know what the ultimate bet is?", the saint asked all of the sudden.
I looked up, clearly not knowing the answer to that. He clearly was trying to rattle me.
"This place, Mr. Parish is a casino located outside of space and time. It cannot be built on simple material things such as bricks and cement. It needed something more powerful, much much more powerful"
First 3 cards were revealed, the King of clover, the 2 of diamonds, and the Ace of spades.
"I thought centuries ago, what could be so powerful it can create the foundation of something this absurd.....then it hit me. Human beliefs, Mr. Parish.
The capability of human to believe is so powerful it created religions, it took them to the sky, it took them across the ocean, it took them to the moon"
The 4th card revealed, the King of diamonds.
"So every now and then, I invited the best players in human history and get them to see this place. It started as mere illusion, but as I took their belief of this place's existence it strengthened its foundation. Turning it from a mere concept to reality.
In turn without their belief they would no longer remember this place and they will never set foor here ever again."
I was stunned at the saint's absurd story. Needless to say I was rattled. My resolve was shaken. Now silent he revealed the 5th card.
"Show your hands, Mr. Parish", he said.
No, no, I can't lose! I have 4 Kings! I can't lose!
"4 Kings!", I declared sure of my victory.
My face dropped immeditately however, seeing his face smirking. Looking down the final card was another Ace....and the saint had the other 2 Aces.
"4 Aces beat 4 Kings unfortunately, Mr. Parish"
I slumped back on my chair, defeated. For some reason the thought of not being able to play in that place again disturbed me so much. My pride as a gambler was taken down a notch.
"So....you'll take my belief now? Erase my memories?", I asked weakly.
The saint however chuckled, "Oh not quite. Throughout the night I saw you out there. There's a thing that you hold really dearly more than you yourself know, and it's the most powerful thing I've ever seen a human possess. I want that thing"
I sat up, "What is it? Tell me!"
"Tsk tsk remember Mr. Parish. Blind bet", he said waving his finger.
I couldn't remember much after that. I must have blacked out. The next thing I knew I woke up on my bed in my bedroom in the morning. I was inside the Church for hours but being outside of time itself, it's only been less than 4 hours in here. I woke up at 7am. Clearly still remembering my experience. And that gave me dread. What did Saint Cajetan take from me?
As per usual I sat in front of the computer with my breakfast, playing more online poker. It was my favorite game after all.
Strange....$100, $500, $2000, $10000 even...I couldn't feel excited for winning. I panicked...what was wrong with me? I bet more and more and more, despite winning I couldn't feel...anything.
I fell onto the floor, defeated. I realized then...that was what the saint had taken. The thrill...the thrill I loved so much was taken away from me.

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw – 2-7 Triple Draw, also known as Deuce to Seven Triple Draw is a game in which the best low poker hand wins the pot at showdown. This is a draw poker game and each player will receive five cards and can discard anywhere from one to all five cards, or none at all. When you draw, the number of cards you discarded will be replaced. 2-7 Triple Draw allows you to draw up to three times or stand pat on any of the three draws. Standing pat means no cards are discarded. In Limit 2-7 Triple Draw, the player after the big blind will open the betting round by folding, calling or raising. At showdown the player with the best possible low hand wins the pot. In this version, Aces will always play high and straights and flushes will count against your low hand. The best possible hand to have in 2-7 Triple Draw is 7, 5, 4, 3, 2.
Limit Texas Holdem – Limit Texas Holdem is played just like your regular Holdem games with slight alterations in betting structure. If you’re unfamiliar with Holdem please see our How to Play Texas Holdem, which gives a complete overview of how the game is played. Betting structure in Limit Holdem is pre-determined meaning player bets pre-flop and post flop will be the same as the big blind. The betting amounts will change on the river with bet sizes and raises double that of the big blind. Limit Holdem caps the betting at four bets per round.
Limit Omaha Eight or Better (Omaha Hi – Lo) – Omaha Hi Lo is an entirely different game. In this game players have the opportunity to play for both hi and lo pots. Each player will receive four hole cards whereby they will need to make the best possible poker hand using two of those four cards along with three of the five community cards. Since the object of this game is to play for both pots players should realize that only hands with 8 or lower will qualify as a low hand. The best possible low hand in Omaha Hi Lo is A, 2, 3, 4, 5. Suits do not play for the low pot. The betting structure for this game is similar to Limit Holdem listed above.
Razz Poker- Razz Poker, also known as Seven Card Stud (low only) is a unique game of its own. The object of the game is to play for the best low hand, hopefully A-5, in order to win the pot. Each player will receive a total of seven cards and the overall game structure is consistent with other forms of Stud Poker. Although you’ll receive seven cards, only your five lowest cards will play. The best possible hand in Razz is the wheel (5,4,3,2,A). Although Razz doesn’t have “eight or better” requirements, it’s extremely rare to see someone win a Razz hand with high cards. 토토사이트
Limit Stud Eight or Better (Stud Hi Lo) – Seven Card Stud requires each player to ante before any cards are dealt. Each player receives two hole cards and one up card. The player who’s hand holds the lowest up card will be the “bring in” and is required to make another partial bet or the full small bet. Once the first betting round is complete, each player still left in the game will receive another up card. The first player to act in this round is the player who’s holding the highest up card during the second round and will be receive the option to check or bet. If the player decides to bet 4th street, the bet size will be that of the small blind. If the player’s hand exposes a pair a full bet can be made. Again after betting round is complete, each player will receive another up card, also called Fifth Street. The player who is first to act will be the player who currently has the highest ranked poker hand. The betting structure on Fifth Street changes and is now full bets equal to the big blind. The final two streets play out the same as Fifth Street. During showdown the pot will be awarded to the player who has the best high hand and the best low hand, unless a player is fortunate enough to have both in which case he’ll scoop the pot.
Limit Stud Poker – This is played exactly the same as the Hi Lo version above except players will only play for the best high hand. The antes, bring-in, and betting follows the same structure as Limit Stud 8 or Better.
No Limit Texas Holdem – No Limit Texas Holdem is played exactly like the standard version except the betting structure differs. Unlike the Limit version above, players will have no restrictions placed on the amount of their bets and can bet as little or as much as they like on each round including pre-flop.
Pot Limit Omaha – Pot Limit Omaha is played just like Omaha however players will only play for the best high hand, not hi lo. Players will still receive four hole cards and will be required to use two hole cards and three of the five community cards to qualify as a legitimate hand.

^{(sorry for this repost, more details at the end})
As some have said a couple of times in the last months, NANO is great, but it lacks a lot on adoption. There is no "Killer App" that makes users interested in NANO. It might be great, but if it's not used it won't succeed.
​
Introducing PlayNANO
PlayNANO it's an attempt at fixing this. On PlayNANO users will be able to earn Nano by completing all sorts of tasks; Play multiplayer games with friends and earn Nano for winning; Bet on multiple casino games; And lastly spend their Nano on all sorts of digital products. Oh and also, no account or login required!
See why Nano is the best crypto, with fee-less and instant use cases. Earn, play, bet, and spend - no account or login required.
I might not be the first doing something like this, but I'm aiming for better than what we have now.

• First - it will be for-profit. I love this community and a lot of the projects built, especially in the last couple of weeks. But most of them aren't for profit, nor targeted towards the end-user, and if we keep on making projects that don't generate money, we won't have the means to reach the masses. Many say the "Feeless, instant, green" markets for itself - I don't think I agree - that sentence won't reach the ears of many people unless it's paid to get there.
• Second - there is an affiliate program, for the same reason - because people are much more willing to share if there's money involved. On PlayNANO you'll be able to earn 1% of everything your referrals earn. (approx. 30% commission)
• Third - I've made the effort to focus on UI and UX. As many might have noticed the last couple of weeks, we have great developers, that build awesome things, but we are lacking in the user experience, which nowadays it's so necessary.

​
PlayNANO's Roulette
Play the European Roulette with Nano - fee-less and instant as Crypto should be!
My favorite feature so far, a provably fair multiplayer roulette. Instant betting and very quick payouts - sometimes you even get your payout before the roulette stops spinning! ^{(and yeah, I'm gonna leave this as a feature to showcase the power of NANO xD})
With this multiplayer roulette, you are not betting alone, you will also see other players bets on the table, for a more fun and immersive experience. And it uses a provably fair system to make sure that all numbers/spins are fair and can't be manipulated by anyone.
​
PlayNANO's Jumper
I've also created Jumper - a simple game with simple rules, but there's space for great strategies! Each game starts with a 12 by 12 grid, and the objective of the game is to be the last one standing on the grid, by sweeping your opponents off.
Compete with other players and earn NANO by sweeping them out of the game!
Next steps
This is the first release but I have got a lot planned for the future! Starting with a multiplayer Texas Holdem Poker feature; more games to be added to the Play section; more ways to earn Nano, and add way more prizes to the spend list.
Quick FYI: I'm using a 400$/month server, with a GPU, to handle the heavy PoW generation. Within the last month my server has sent over 45.000 transactions, mostly due to the Earn - Watch Videos feature - which is getting quite popular on Venezuela, Indonesia, and Central Africa. So I don't think I'm in love with the future v21 PoW increase xD
​
The end
I'm not saying PlayNANO is the "Killer App" we need, but it's something. I intend to make a living out of it and use the profits to make Nano reach more people, whether through marketing, donations to the development fund, maybe help fund the next Build-Off competition, and/or other things.
So go ahead and try it out, maybe show it to your friends to show how awesome Nano is ;)
All feedback will be much appreciated.

^{(Once again, for those who caught it, I'm sorry for the repost. I made this repost because last time I posted I was in a hurry, the post was not well-formatted, I made a mistake on the title, I didn't pick a good time to post, and all that made that post's exposure quite low. This is my do-over, won't do it again!})

Woke up and was on the Luxor floor by 740am. Tables were already 15! Damn!
Went over to Excalibur for my wife to play slots. 15 doe the regular craps table, 10 for crapless at 830 in the morning
Drove to South Point. Spent about 4 hours there. 3 5 dollar tables and 1 10. 2X odds with no feature bets.
Now for the story. Bought in for 150. I got to throw shortly after buying in. Im far out tossing the dice to the edge of the table. One die stopped just short of the wall. Boxman told me to hit the back wall everytime. This is my first throw it would have hit the wall but bounced sideways. Next throw the first die hit the wall and the second hit the first die. "Sir if you don't hit the back wall im going to move the dice along". I told him I'm doingy best. I 7 out next throw. Box does the same to the next guy who decides to start chucking them down the table so hard that one hits me in the chest. Boxman seems mad that we were throwing them too hard. Couldn't make him happy. I decided to move to another table. I lost my buyin there.
Here is where the story takes a turn. I drop another 100 and get ready to shoot at the second table. Full crew change. The boxman from the first table moves to our table. I put a bet on the line for the dealers. I miss the back wall with one die but it hits a stack of chips for a 7 front line winner I did that 2 or three times in a row with the crew making some money. He's giving me the stinkeye. I hit two points woth odds for the crew and we were all friends. Not sure why he didn't say something to me this time.
Anyway, had a good time there but lost 500 at the tables including 100 at Texas Holdem. I never had anything more than a pair. Wife doubled up at the table and did well at slots.
Hoping to head to Gold Coast and the Cannery before heading to El Cortez to check into our room.

So I came up with something that my players really love. Tried it on Discord and it worked out well, too. I had players interested in playing gamblers, and at first they were discouraged because it was just sort of opposed checks of Perception and Deception, representing bluffing and so forth, with the result just sort of “announced.”
Perhaps it was my failure as a narrator, but things weren’t going so well in the gambling end. They wanted something that felt like a drama driven by gambling, like the movies “Maverick” and “Rounders.” (They all play cards IRL) I felt like I needed a little more structure, at least for myself as a GM, so that I could carry them through it narratively. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far and they’re LOVING IT.
Before I say this, I should just say it’s a start, and I welcome any feedback. Also, all groups are different, so this might only come across as unnecessary to some, but I stress, all groups are different and it has worked for us:
In order for this to work, someone must have a winning hand, and someone must have a losing hand, and all other players must have “in-between hands.” In order to do this, the GM has to do one quick thing to prepare the sabacc game. Instead of the tedious ordeal of telling everyone what cards they have (suits and values and such), the GM simply rolls a percentage die, and assigns everyone hands based on numerical value—the higher the number rolled, the better a PC or NPC’s hand. Simple.
Let your players know that a “bad hand” is 1-30, an “okay hand” is 31-60, and a “good hand” is 70-100. The GM writes down what each PC has on a slip of paper and hands it out, face down to each player (For example, you just write “bad”, “okay,” or “good”, not the actual numerical value). That way, the PCs at the table don’t know what kind of hands their friends have, and if the player has a “good hand” they won’t know if someone has a better “good hand.” They just know about how good their own hand is, in the greater game of sabacc. (This represents having a full house, but not knowing if someone has a straight flush, as it were.)
Then, of course, the GM secretly writes down what kind of hands each of the NPCs have (for this, I recommend not having more than three NPCs playing the game, and two NPCs seems to be ideal).
A GAMBLING CHARACTER’S TURN It’s similar to combat. You get one Maneuver, which does not typically require a skill check…
…and maybe take a SECOND Maneuver by suffering 1 Strain, perhaps by sipping a strong alcoholic beverage to gather your courage, or just because you are stressed from trying to do too much in one round while keeping your head in the game…
And now you begin your rounds of gameplay, just like combat.
IMPORTANT RULE: At the end of each round, all players who have not folded MUST put in either 100 credits, 1,000 credits, or whatever (your choice on the stakes), in order to stay in. And they must, of course, ante up at the beginning of each round.
Here are your Maneuvers.
Raise: The player can simply raise the amount in the Pot, to pretty much whatever they can afford.
Chit-chat: Make small talk while gambling, making it seem nonchalant. Because there is sometimes a lot of talk around the table, and other times quiet because people are trying to concentrate in peace, you get this one Maneuver to try and squeeze in some questions without being annoying to the NPCs, or before someone else starts talking to dealing cards. Perhaps you ask one of the NPCs when a shipment of illegal spice is set to come in, or try and subtly tell a fellow PC what sort of hand you’ve got, so you two can coordinate and team up against the other NPCs. If you choose to chat up an NPC, you can either use Charm on an opposed roll to win friends, which grants you a boost die on all Deception, Skullduggery, and Perception rolls until the end of your next turn (because you’ve got the bead on how these players think and move), or let the GM roll a percentage die: on a 1-10, one of the NPCs lets something vital slip through casual conversation. (EXAMPLE: “I don’t know if Jabba’s gonna be happy about what Sasha did to his majordomo. Could be trouble…”)
Ask For Another Card: This can be done only twice per game of cards. Any player can do it, PC or NPC (this is like the flop, turn, and river in Texas Holdem). Everyone is “dealt” a new card (narratively), so the GM has to re-roll the percentage die again, determining what everyone’s new hand ranking is by adding whatever he rolled to their previous “hand values.” To be clear, in this weird game of sabacc, a person can use the below “Call” action to end all gameplay and betting, forgoing the right to an extra card, and simply hope they win…but the longer they keep NPCs and other PCs talking, the more the betting goes up. (As stated, at the end of each round, extra credits are always added to the Pot) TIP: The reason you might ask for another card is because your current hand sucks.
Call: End the betting and reveal all cards to see who has the highest hand. Whoever has the highest hand (as previously recorded by the GM) is the winner.
Fold: Simply fold and bow out of this round of cards. You do not get back the money you’ve already bet.
…and now you get one Action.
AND THOSE ACTIONS ARE…
Bluff: Send out (false) vibes that other NPCs pick up on, making them think you have cards that you don’t, or don’t have cards that you do. Perform a Deception check, using this method: Take the average Perception rank of all NPCs, that’s your Difficulty dice pool. For each NPC you are trying to bluff, upgrade a Difficulty die. On a success, you bluff your targeted opponent(s), and they each suffer 1 setback die on any gauging rolls until the end of the PC’s next round. Which brings us to…
Gauge: Using this action, any Player Character who makes a successful Perception check is able to tell which players have a strong hand and who has a weak hand, and recovers 1 point of strain (because he can now relax a bit, now that he knows who has what cards).
Put a Skifter Into Play: In old canon, a “skifter” was a fake sabacc card that could change values to whatever you wanted. So, in this action, you surreptitiously place a skifter into your hand, replacing another card, using a Skullduggery check to make sure you are not seen. On a success, you not only do it, but you now have the winning hand! You just have to wait until next round to gain a maneuver and use the Call maneuver to end the game and win! The Skullduggery check is this: However many NPCs there are, that’s the number of Difficulty dice—then, for every strain you have suffered so far, that’s how many Difficulty dice are upgraded (reflecting the level of stress and/or alcohol you are under, etc.).
Stack the Deck: This can be done only at the end of a game of cards. You offer to be the one to re-shuffle the cards and deal. On a successful Skullduggery check, you stack the deck to your liking, giving the winning hand next round to whomever you want, and the worst hand to whomever you want, as well. The Skullduggery check is done the same as “Put a Skifter Into Play.” If you fail with NO THREATS, you merely fail to do it. If you fail WITH THREATS, then you are spotted trying to stack the deck by the number of NPCs equal to your Threats, and must now perform a hard Deception check to put their minds at ease and convince them you really weren’t trying to cheat.
Throw Someone Off Their Game: A player smiles lasciviously at an NPC, or blows cigarra smoke in his face, or does something else annoying to distract and put the NPC off his or her game. Perform either an opposed Skullduggery check, or an opposed Charm check, either of which will be opposed by the NPC’s Resilience. If the NPC fails, they are now “rattled,” and suffer a Setback die on all their next checks, no matter who the checks are against.
Cheat: This is separate from the Skifter and Stack The Deck actions above because, while those were very specific, and the skifter was added in because of my love for Star Wars lore, this “Cheat” action is here for all the generalities that may be imposed by the greater narrative. Perhaps one of your players set up a droid across the cantina to zoom in on an NPC’s cards and read what sort of hand he’s got, and so the droid has to signal your player, so your player needs to do some kind of Perception check to pick up on what the droid is trying to relay. In any case, this is a major action, and needs to either be opposed or have an average check, since all eyes are on the players, and everyone is on the lookout for a cheater…
SO THAT'S IT! As a side note, we don't do this for every sabacc or pazaak game, just for the ones where they've entered a tournament or feel like the stakes should be high. It has helped me a bit as a GM as a kind of "training wheels" for this system when it comes to gambling, and I'm getting better at NOT using it now. Anyways, there it is.

Poker is a game of discipline, strategy, intuition, skill, and like most other games, it requires a little bit of luck and a lot of patience. The poker game is a classic card game that uses a standard 52-card deck. A game can be played between two people and among as many people as ten. Different variations of poker call for different numbers of players to be at the table to play a real game. Most casino poker games require eight players for Seven Card Stud or Razz, but nine or ten players are necessary to play the variation of texas holdem poker.
Regardless of the type of poker you are learning, the objective of the game remains the same. When you sit down to play poker your ultimate goal is to be the player with the strongest hand that will win you the pot. But in order to accomplish this feat, a fair amount of strategizing and planning is necessary to secure your victory.
Not all poker players have natural talent that the great poker players have exhibited in poker legends you have read about, or watched in Hollywood films like Maverick, Rounders, Honeymoon in Vegas, or, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Although Hollywood can make any illusion seem real, even the actors had to go through a fair amount of training to acquire at least the outward skills and appearance of someone who really knows how to play poker.
If you are interested in acquiring the ability to be more than the illusion of a good poker player, it is helpful to look into online poker resources that can provide you with incredibly useful poker information and limitless opportunities to play all kinds of poker in real time.

Moreover, most free online poker websites provide interested players with complete access to extensive online poker manuals, poker glossaries and explanations of the different types of poker varieties. If you are interested in making the next step and entering into actual tournaments, of which there are many kinds online, entrance bets are often as low as $1USD.

Poker is a world famous card game that is played between two and up to ten players. There are a variety of types of poker games which include Omaha Poker, Texas Holdem Poker, 5 Card Draw and 7 Card Stud. Each of these poker game types requires a standard deck of 52 cards. In some games like Draw Poker and "lowball," the Joker or "bug," can be used as an additional ace, or to complete a straight flush.
The primary objective of poker is to win the pot, or the money or chips that are placed as bets and kept in plain view at the center of the table. Poker can be played between two people for a more intimate tête-à-tête, or, to have an exciting tournament, eight to ten players are needed. Many poker players today find that much of what they are looking for in a poker game can be found in poker tournaments online. In fact, for poker players who earn their livelihood from high stakes poker, this means that a job that used to required time and travel can now be accomplished from the comfort of the player's home.
Innumerable free online poker games are available for the novice and the expert alike. Usually these online poker venues encourage potential players to reap the benefits of online poker by offering a poker download and other useful poker software absolutely free. Many sites are generous in their offers of poker tips on all varieties of poker and the types of tournaments that may be played as well.
When a poker player decides to take his game online, he is certain to discover poker lessons that he would never be able to get if he only played at a weekly or monthly game.
In addition to being able to play a free poker game to get started, many online poker venues encourage sign up for free accounts by offering deposit bonuses. In some cases, a poker bonus may be as high as $500, meaning the website matches your initial deposit up to the amount of $500. The idea is to give you the opportunity to explore the differences and similarities in poker rules and to encourage you to play more. For example, if you can grasp Omaha Poker, then Texas Holdem Poker will not be too far of a reach. Both games require that the winner have the highest hand from a combination of three cards that belong to the player and two cards known as "community cards," meaning they can be used by everyone to raise a bigger hand.
Also, when you play poker online, you can become well informed on the aspects of poker strategy that are less technical. Meaning, becoming familiar with the art of bluffing, or controlling your body language, especially the involuntary movements and expressions that may give away whether or not you feel your hand is successful. Developing a skilled "poker face" is just one of many poker tricks you can study online.

Hi folks,
Short long story, I started to play poker cash at 18 years old, and I am now 26 years old. I was always playing Texas Hold'em, mostly 1/2, sometimes 2/5 or 5/5 very rarely in a home game full of fish. I find that by the years I'm playing, I tend to lose my focus and I'm more eager to do risky play AKA risky bet/bluff/call, cause I'm getting used to the game and I feel it's getting way less fun than before even if I like winning money. I'm getting sick of those "I wanna be pro super-nit players" being super patient.
However, I always try to improve myself to keep my edge, cause I consider myself as a winning player. I learned to play poker by reading 3 books of poker and getting coached. Then I red on the internet, and got told by some people, that learning Pot Limit Omaha can help me to improve at Texas Holdem seeing the game on another aspect and learning new things. So for that specific reason, I started top learn PLO a year ago. (It is true that it helps btw)
So I've been studying the game, and I find it way more stimulating and complex with 4 cards. Even, if the %%% are way more closer than Texas Holdem when an all-in occurs, you can get yourself in favourite spots more often and easier I feel like. Moreover, the game attracts pure gamblers more than NLHE, cause the variance is higher and bad players have more chances to win. However, those bad players will put themselves in bad spots a lot and will finish by losing everything. The smaller stakes for PLO is 2/2 with usual buy-in between 200$ and 500$ which in reality people shoot more than a 2/5 NLHE game. So for a not very good playegambler that wants to play the lowest stakes, he has to put a good amount of money on the table unlike a gambler who can chose 1/2 table at NLHE.
So to recap, I fell in love with PLO, because you are always way more involve in the game, the pots are always big, it attracts gamblers a lot, the smallest stakes are in reality high stakes, and I feel I can have a better edge at winning money than NLHE where edges are harder and harder to find and always less profitable the more and more people learn how to play (especially on higher stakes tables). I played 11 session of live 2/2 PLO and here's the results (I did practice on Poker Stars before playing live cash game):
-100, +650, break even, -800, -400, -700, +1600, +650, -900, +1300, +950
So 5 winning session, 5 losing session and one break even session for a total of +2250. I still have a lot to learn obviously, however I consider that game way more fun with a way better potential of winning than NLHE. Who's in the PLO bandwagon with me? :D :P

I witnessed a great hand last weekend.
2/5NL at Sugarhouse in Philadelphia, Sunday afternoon. Usually not a very good game, but the single 2/5 table is healthy and the late-night regs have not arrived yet. A stereotypical "street entrepreneur" sits in middle position, an even more stereotypical OMC sits on his left. About 2.5k effective stacks.
SE raises to 25, OMC raises to 100. It is his first preflop raise all afternoon. Folds back to SE, who snapcalls.
Flop: K Q 6 rainbow. SE checks, OMC bets $100. After chatting with his fellow OMC buddies all game, he has gone completely silent. SE calls.
Turn: 7. SE checks. OMC, visibly shaking, grabs a pile of black chips and bets $700 without counting it. An obscene overbet for this game. SE thinks for a minute, then calls.
River: K. SE checks. OMC instantly shoves all in for $1600. SE tanks. And tanks. And tanks. Suddenly, the river actually registers in OMC's mind. Oh no. The king has paired.
SE continues to tank, and OMC is in visible distress. He stands up, then sits down. "I know you're going to call me, just call." His voice is an octave higher than usual, and way too loud. He stands up again. "ANY REAL POKER PLAYER KNOWS WHAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW." Translation: I have aces, I only ever have aces in this situation, and I deserve the respect and sympathy of this table when I'm eventually stacked by KJ/AK/QQ/66/77. SE asks, relatively politely, for OMC to stop shouting while he thinks. OMC sits down again, still shaking.
SE tanks for another two long minutes, then finally looks up. "I know you ain't got shit, but I'm going to give it to you." SE folds face-up. AJo - ace high. OMC, now grinning at his biggest winning session ever, proudly scoops the pot and shows his AA. "Oh shit, I guess you did have it." OMC, victorious, walks around the room for 20 minutes telling his OMC buddies about the hand. Finally, his day has come. Justice is served and the aces remain uncracked, as is their god-given right as the best possible hand in Texas Holdem.
SE shrugs and looks up at me, and I make eye contact. "Good fold, bro."

There is no doubt side pot players are expected to reveal their cards first in a showdown at the end of betting, however, can they be pressed to do this before the flop as an example? Do all remaining players have the right to see those cards before further betting commences?
Extra kudos for anyone who can actually point to a clear texas holdem rule that clarifies this, as it has defeated my searching!

[Update]: Thank you everyone for your time and efforts replying and helping me become a better player!!
I'm a poker enthusiast. I'm improving my game really hard and wanted to know what is the +EV decision in this kind of situations.
On 1/3 Texas Holdem no-limit table, I'm the chip leader with 700 bbs. Other players are under 300bbs. 5 players call 3$ to see the flop and I'm at the button. I have pocket 2s.
Pot is now 15$. Flop comes. Board 2,3,6 rainbow.
Everybody checked and I bet 20$ over pot of 15$. One of the guy at early position calls (I don't have any information about him, decent guy, but it seemed not a very professional player) who started the hand with 250$.
Pot is now 65$. Turn comes, 2,3,6,4 rainbow.
He checked, I bet 40$, he thought for like 30s and raised to 120$ (at this moment he had like 110$ behind).
I'm now in tough situation deciding to what to do. After taking a minute, I shoved all in, he called. He ended up showing qh5h. River didn't pair the board, he wins.
I'm trying to figure out did I made +EV move or not? And why?
Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated!
