A Busted Flush or A Busty Flash At New Hooters Casino Hotel
Poker Players Guaranteed To Get A 'Top Pair' At Hooters Casino
IT’S A HOOT! The guys among you who are fans of our Starbirds and dailystarpoker.com will be pleased to know that any future holiday trips planned for Las Vegas will have an added appeal. Hooters, the tongue-in-cheek eatery that parlays spicy chicken wings and busty waitresses in skimpy outfits is opening its own Hooters Casino Hotel directly opposite the MGM Grand. Talk about David versus Goliath on the Vegas strip. The MGM Grand has over 5,000 rooms against Hooter’s 696 but the management of the new franchise say they still expect to come out in front! Let’s hope there’s no bust-ups across the Texas Hold’em tables.
CARD SCHOOL QUESTION You’re holding a pair of sixes. The flop looks cheap so you stay in to see what develops along with a handful of other players. The flop comes and you fail to make three of a kind. You’ve invested a bet and two calls so far. What do you do now?
CARD SCHOOL ANSWER Despite a burning internal desire to see if you make your set on the turn, you should fold because the odds are telling you that’s the play. The temptation here is always to think, it’s only one more small bet to see if the turn will provide my third six. Bad thought. Your odds of hitting the third six in a five handed game are worse than twenty to one. Think about it. You logically stand to lose that small extra bet at least nineteen times before it comes up gold. Imagine how big the pot will have to be on that golden occasion to make up for your nineteen undisciplined decisions.
(Busted Flush: This term describes when a poker player's hand consists of an incomplete flush that usually includes four cards of the same suit.)
