Tips and Strategies:
Community Cards
Use the community cards to
your advantage.
• If you have the first bet on a
flop that contains a pair, consider
making a strong play no matter
what your pocket cards. It’s very
difficult for your opponents to call
that bet.
• Don’t get excited if you have a
good hand with flop. Your oppo-
nents are using those cards too!
• Bet if the flop is unpromising
and you have an Ace. Be careful,
however, if someone raises.
• Watch for straight and flush
possibilities, which become more
frequent with community cards.
Tips and Strategies:
Bluffing
You won’t need mirrored shades
when you follow these bluffing
tactics.
• If a player looks at his chips
after the the flop, the turn, or the
river, he’s probably going to bet.
• If a player reaches for his chips
while you’re betting, he’s proba-
bly going to fold (he’s trying to
convince you otherwise).
• If a player looks at his pocket
cards after the flop, he probably
doesn’t have a very strong hand
(it’s forgettable, apparently).
• Don’t look at your cards before
it’s your turn to bet. Study how
your opponents react to their cards
instead. Learn their mannerisms
while concealing your tells.
• Study changes in a player's
demeanor, remaining aware that
he may be acting.
• Getting caught in a bluff early
is not necessarily a bad thing. Later
in the game, your opponents may
call with losing hands, just to avoid
being suckered.
• Watch your opponents closely,
especially when you’re out of a
hand.
OPERATION NOTE
1. Please see the drawing on
page 15 for the IR specification.
2. If the IR connection is not
good, the controller will go
offline. When this happens, you
will see a small icon of a red circle
with an
X
on the TV screen. This
icon will be shown for about 60
seconds, followed by a countdown
from 9 to 0. Before countdown
reaches 0, you can get online again
by directing the controller within
the effective IR area. If this does-
n’t work, you may need to reset
the controller by turning the
switch to
OFF
for about 1 second
then
ON
again. When you get
online, your stash will be dis-
played and you can continue to
play. If you cannot get online
before countdown to 0, you will be
out of the game for the current
hand and the current hand will
continue among the remaining
active players. Provided there are
two or more active players at the
end of the current hand, the game
will proceed to next hand. You can
return to the game as a new player
in the next hand by keeping the
controller ON at the beginning of
the next hand. A message “
NEW
PLAYER JOIN
?
STEP
–
YES SELECT
–
NO
” will be displayed on the TV
screen. Player 1 can press STEP
to rejoin the game. You can then
continue to play with the same
stash as when you went offline.
3. After turning on the controller,
you will see the full segments of
LCD flash twice. If you do not see
the flashing of full segments, the
controller is having a problem.
Check the batteries in the controller
and try again.
4. After pressing a button in
central unit or controller, there is
loading time of program. You may
need to press and hold the button
in order to take effect. Pressing the
button too fast and continuously
will affect button recognition.
