Omaha Rules
1. Hole Cards. Each player is dealt four cards face down.
2. The Flop. Three cards are dealt face up on the table.
3. The Turn. A fourth card is dealt to the table.
4. The River. Finally, a fifth card is dealt to the table.
The five cards on the table are community cards. Your hand is formed by taking exactly two hole cards and exactly three community cards, and forming the best poker hand possible. But remember, all the players have access to the community cards. When played for money, there is a round of betting after a round of cards is dealt (so four rounds of betting in total).
Example #1
In this example, you have a straight flush, because you can use the [[cards Qc 9c 8c]] on the board with the [[cards Jc 10c]] in your hand.
Example #2
In this example, you have two pairs, Kings over Tens. Note that you cannot use all three Kings in your hand, since you must use exactly two hole cards.
Example #3
In this example, you have trip Tens. You cannot use your Ace with the Ace on the board to make a full house, because you must use exactly three community cards. (You would pick the three tens). Your final poker hand is TTTAK.
Baccarat Tip
1. Establish a bankroll of 20 to 50 units - preferably $5 each. Recognize that baccarat is usually a high-limit game, you may have risk 20 units of $25 each or $500.
2. Get a scorecard when you enter the game, and chart each decision using the standard notation of P for players and B for bank.
3. Bet single units, or $25 a hand, for the first 20 to 30 hands of the shoe.
Watch carefully how the game unfolds during the first 20 to 30 hands, looking for obvious trends in the game. For example, in the shoe "choppy", with P and B alternating back and forth for many hands in succession; that is P, B, P, B, P, B? Is the game exhibiting short-term streaks like P, P, P, B, P, B, B, B? or perhaps you detect another choppy trend like B, B, P, P, B, B, P, P, B, P.

Card counting techniques which proved to be so effective at winning at blackjack have attracted close investigations lately. Here's how they work. -In baccarat, just like blackjack , the removal of cards from play creates situations where the changes of receiving particular cards or combinations of cards change. The removal of certain types of cards favor the Player while others favor the Banker. -A good count strategy shows you how to recognize situations that favor betting Banker and others where Player is the better bet. By judiciously altering bets with the count, a card counter can improve his or her chances at the table and win money at baccarat. -The basic theory is low cards favor the Player position, and high cards favor the Banker. Certain cards have little effect and are considered neutral. Counters track the removal of these cards, betting the Player position when there is a higher ratio a higher ratio of the high cards remaining.

Blackjack Basic Strategy
How To Use Strategy Card ??
Example 1
Let’s look at another - Example 2
<--- We are now dealt the following hand: a 6 and an 8, totaling 14. The dealer has a 7. Looking along the left hand side of the strategy card for 14 and then along the top for 7 we find agreen ‘H’ for Hit. So you should click on the Hit button. You now have 20, so looking at the strategy card, this tells you to Stand (S). ----->
And it’s a simple as that – Just follow the rules click the below banner and you’ll be fine
If the strategy card shows a blue ‘D’, you click on Double if the option is available. This will double your bet and give you one card only.
It the card says ‘P’ you should click on the ‘Split’ button if available.
If a split occurs you the have two hands to play with. Treat each hand as you would a single hand
and just follow the strategy card to work out what to do.
Note the strategy card also has options for when you have two of the same card and also when one of the cards is an Ace. E.g. if you have Ace, 5 and the dealer has a four, you should click on ‘Double’.
If you are dealt two cards that add up to seven or less and do not include an ace, then HIT.
If the dealer is showing an Ace, you will be offered insurance. Do not take it.
That’s it. By sticking to the strategy card you will be playing perfect blackjack!
Poker Tips
Watch who's playing in an aggressive or loose way and who's playing tight, try to play the loose players and avoid the tight players, unless you've got a strong hand.
2. Watch the chips
Always be aware of everyone's chip count. Know who has more chips than you and play more carefully against them - a mistake could knock you out. It's usually better to play pots with players who have fewer chips than you do.
3. No match
If your cards don't match any of the community cards, throw your hand away when someone else bets.
4. Ace in the hand
Don't play every time you have an ace in your hand. However, play an ace if it's accompanied by a card of the same suit or by a 10 or higher.
5. Hands to stay with before the flop
Play with pairs (7-7, 9-9), two face cards (K-Q, Q-J), or hands that can make both a straight and a flush (8-9, 6-7 of the same suit). Be patient and fold other hands, unless you're in the blind.
6. Good hand? Bet strong
In no-limit Texas Hold'em, players can bet all of their chips at any time, so bet aggressively when you have a good hand.
7. Watch and wait
Play fewer hands when you're one of the first players to act, because you'll be 'out of position' and vulnerable to raises from the remaining players.
8. Wait your turn
Do not act until it is your turn; play proceeds clockwise at the poker table.
9.Be a 'bettor,' not a 'caller'
Being aggressive is good.
10. Call their bluff
If someone raises in a late position (near or on the button), re-raise them a good amount if you are on the blind. Chances are, they don't have a big hand and they're just trying to steal your blinds. (This style of play, known as going 'over the top', is probably the strongest play one can make in no-limit Texas Hold'em.)
11. Be patient
The biggest mistake most players make is to act too quickly. When you're making an important decision pause to think about how the betting has gone and what your opponent might have. Take your time

Do You Have What It Takes To Win Your Fortune?
Forget what you've been taught. It's easy to win at blackjack, if you discover the right secrets. To win at blackjack, you simply need to pay attention to the game and develop a skilful ability to play cards well. That's why blackjack is the most popular of the casino games. It is a game of skill and, if you are good enough, you can honestly win a bundle of money!
For this reason, blackjack systems and strategies have been sold for as little as $10.00 and as much as $3,000.00 . I know. I have purchased them all. Many of these systems are extremely complex. They have been developed by scientists, mathematicians and college professors with high-tech, computer-like minds.
In practice and research I've discovered that in order to successfully use these systems you need to either have a photographic memory, or a computer to perform the constant calculations required. And based on my experience, I might add, that's crazy! No casino in the world will allow you to play blackjack with a computer. And, those people fortunate enough to be born with a photographic memory, usually end up with some kind of “super-job” that gives them all the money they'll ever need. So, for the average person, many of these systems are not even worth the paper they're printed on. That's why I developed my own simple blackjack system.
Actually, it took me 17 years and lots of money to make it a sure-fire winner, but it was worth it! I discovered all the dirty secrets of this game. First, I took all the expensive and complex systems available on today's market and created a simple, easy-to-follow system. Then I added all the missing links that Casinos make sure to avoid when they print their “winning systems.” And, now, I'll present to you my simple system (that quite honestly wins like crazy):
