On shows like Poker After Dark, the table has a compartment that looks like it can hold two decks of cards. What is that for or what does it do?

I was playing in a tournement this week and i want to get your take on the what took place. It was the first hand and i was dealt two queens and i made a raise, and two other players called my bet. The action got to the next player who right away pointed to the floor where there was a jack and a king on the ground. Right away the dealer called over the floor and he had the dealer count down the stub, he found out that the deck was short and the floor said it was a misdeal. I tryed to explain that since there was action on the hand it coulden’t be a misdeal and that the two cards should be show and the hand be played out, but he would not change his mind. Now i deal poker for a living and i think i was right in asking the hand to be played out, but was he right in any way to call it a fouled hand.

It may sound like a bit of a stupid question - obv just bet and raise more. But when I try to become more aggressive like you see on TV then I bust of tournaments very quickly, and people start to call my bets with high cards on the river!

How do these aggressive poker players like Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey do so well??

What’s makes a aggressive poker player? And how do I become a more aggressive poker player?

Thanks!

Filed under :Poker Questions
kuwaitimassacre asked:


Some friends of mine are thinking of starting a poker night, I was curious on how the rules would be idealy. If there was no dealer, would the shuffle be done by each player once? Would the raising and calling take place before and/or after changing cards? If we were to play with a 100 $ each per night, what would be the best limits to have a good fun game. I need some experieced helps, no answers just for points please.

Thanks in advance.
