Does anyone play cards?

[Lark]

What's your favourite card game? Do you play for money? If you do do you play friends or do you play professional or play in a casino or online gambling?

Its something I'm interested in and also Poker math, I'm interested in that too, probability was my favourite topic in maths at school because of its relationship to games of chance or fortune.

I played euchre a lot with friends in high school. In college I played small money poker with friends. This was right before and during the the big poker craze in the early noughties. At some point I even picked up the Doyle Brunson poker book. I never read the book and my interest decreased after a while. I only played online poker for money for one weekend. At the end of the weekend I realized it was a huge waste of time (for me) and decided to just quickly find a fish and put it all in. Within 20 minutes of that decision I doubled my money and cashed out in the black never to play online again. I do occasionally download a casino game ap and play a little for free, but haven't done that for a year or so I think. Eventually, those mostly make me depressed at the fact that people actually pay real money for worthless chips.

No Limit Texas Hold 'Em and Blackjack/21 are both fun games to kill time with, but I have never played either of them for money. I bought the Expekt Poker Academy software for PC some 10 years ago, and that was very informative showing the odds of each possible turnout while you actually play the game against AI-players. I mostly play over the Internet on my smartphone now (for free).

Welcome, I`m interested in bonuses on the casino https://syndicate.casino/en-au who is playing there, explain to me this. I know that there is a registration for the first deposit. You need to register at the casino and make a certain amount of money on the account. After that, you receive a bonus, the sum of which can make up to 400% on deposit. And there are bonuses for activity? Sometimes playing on slot machines, users can take advantage of special offers from game clubs. That's what interests me.

this reads like an advertisement... technically it is asking questions i guess, but it is a very odd post for a typology forum... seems like you could just check an faq on the site, or ask their customer service...

There's no such thing.

I'm a poker fan. I used to play online and was quite good, but it's banned in Australia now.

I'm a quite maths oriented person, so I like the theory behind it. I've recently started looking at the theory again out of boredom. I quite like the idea of assigning a 1, 2 or 3 value to a hand to understand the basic theory. 3 is a value-bettable hand, 2 is in the mid-range (don't raise but consider a call), and 1 is for hands which are highly unlikely to win at showdown so are no good for a call, but sometimes can be bluffed with (though with draws and re-raises, it gets more complex than that, which is what I'm starting to look at).

I also like blackjack. I know basic card counting, and even created my own count, which is as follows:

2-7 = +2
8, 9, A = 0
T-K = +3

It's good for taking insurance given that A is zero,

and is a generally fun count. You can run through the deck one card at a time if you're bored, and once there are only a few cards left you can "call" what kinds of cards are left to be shown.

You should really try gambling your life away based on what tarot cards tell you to do.

I used to be into tarot cards, they're quite the inspiring game of chance.

Ask the deck a question, select cards, place them face down, then as you turn them over one's mind fills in a story that gives insight into the particular question being inquired of.

For it to work it simply requires a general archetypal applicability of the images shown on each card, as tarot tends to have; normal playing cards can work to a degree but the results are more along the lines of spotting patterns in a sea of quasi-random information.

The possibilities are immense as to what you can do with the cards. Given that the images shown are a kind of persona one can take on, one can take on the persona shown on the image, perhaps mixing different cards like dual types in pokemon.

It probably works for pokemon cards, too.

I was just kidding. I have two tarot sets and one oracle. I've only used them a couple times though (I try to make sure I am in the right mood for it).
They are a valuable tool for developing intuition and confidence in oneself.

Yeah it does require the right mood/mindset/etc.

I used my deck a few years ago but have only really glanced at it since. The mind has to be active enough to create a story from the characters, otherwise it just looks like pictures on paper.

Another badass poster I never noticed and will probably not get to chat with now.

All those games seem great. I've never played cards against humanity but I've heard good things.
