Hi,
My friend was scheduled to play at a no limit table last night, however, she got sick. She thought of letting her husband play in behalf of her. Is this possible? Any related rules for this kind of situation?
Thanks!
Cheers,

Bhat,
If this was a tournament and she registered in her name, this is not allowed. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter. You don’t have to sign up to play in a cash game. You just buy your chips and sit down.
Together with some close colleagues, I play home game of no limit holdem without a house dealer; quite surprising I guess.
Well, just the other day, a problem appeared. At some point, the table was down to four players, by which included me. There were three players then in the present hand. Flop came as expected and was A-4-K. Afterwards, small and big blind checked. A raise on the button came up then. Later on, there was another Ace right before the small and big blind could actually act the dealer.
Before the game ended, we have actually confessed that we would have folded as we had the crap you typically obtain in the blinds therefore we flipped our cards over and pretty sure the bettor had K.
Any comment about what happened?
Thanks!
Best regards,

Breckeridge,
What happens in this case pull back the turn and burn and turn a new turn. Then you take the old turn card, put it back in the deck, shuffle it, and then burn and turn the river.
Hello,
Just a couple of months ago, I’ve started playing poker. As of the moment, I really love no limit and limit poker.
Well, I must admit, before I started out playing, I totally don’t have any experience playing the game however maybe my advantage was that I like gambling a lot. Back then, I was also very open to suggestions on how I could improve my playing potential. Also, I even checked on some sites that have lots of tools that could help me understand basic poker concepts, rules, feel and strategies. However, of course, there were still some stuff that were not so clear to me.
I hope you could help me.
In an online event, the randomness is closer to true randomness compared to a brick and mortar game as it takes almost 58 shuffles to randomize a deck of cards entirely. Unfortunately, not all players shuffle the deck as many times as such.
Well, a home game is not a clear picture of poker with completely random settings unlike online poker which is with true settings.
I noticed that players usually play and see more blinds playing online rather than playing in brick and mortar game, therefore probability for all players to have a good hand at an an instance is much better.
Players who believe there’s cheating in brick and mortar games are just bitter losers.
By the way, the stat regarding card shuffling has a basis. I’ve taken up statistics course in a certain university.
Thanks!
