Texas Holdem Poker Dealer Training

Poker / Texas Hold’em Rules

Obviously, you should know the ranking of the poker hands, and how cards are dealt in texas hold’em. Know the terms straight flush, four-of-a-kind (or quads), full house (or boat), flush, straight, three-of-a-kind, two-pair, pair, high card; know preflop, postflop, flop, turn, river.

Betting Rules

  • You should know how betting in poker works. Understand the terms bet, raise, call, check, fold, and all-in. Check-raising means checking and then later raising in the same betting round.
  • Know what a blind is. There will be a small blind and a big blind each hand.
  • Know that preflop, the big blind is last to act. On each postflop betting round, the small blind is first to act, and the dealer is last to act. Know when a betting round ends (eg. if all players check, then the betting round ends).
  • Other good terms to know for positions are cutoff (right of the dealer), hijack (right of the cutoff), under-the-gun (the person left of the big blind; first to act preflop).

Mathematical Concepts

In class we will run through an example to illustrate the terminology you should know.

  • Suppose the pot has $500 in it, and your opponent bets another $250.
  • You may call his $250, in which case cards are flipped over:
    • If your cards beat his, you win the whole pot of $500 + $250 (that he just put in) + $250 (that you just put in) = $1000. You profited $750 from this gamble.
    • If his cards beat yours, you get $0 back. You lost $250 from this gamble.
  • Or, you can fold, resulting in a payoff of $0.
  • In this example, we say that you are getting 3-to-1 odds to call. When you win, you profit 3 times what you risk losing.
  • Suppose the probability that your cards beat his is 10%. Then your expectation for calling is 0.1(+750)+0.9(-250)=-150. By calling, you expect to lose $150 in the long run. Your expectation for folding is always $0. Therefore, you should fold, since your expectation for calling is negative.
  • Suppose the probability that your cards beat his is 50%. Then your expectation for calling is 0.5(+750)+0.5(-250)=250. By calling, you expect to earn $250 in the long run. Therefore, you should call, since your expectation for calling is positive. If you were to play this game a large number of times, your average payoff per game would be $250, with 100% certainty. This is called the Law of Large Numbers.
  • We say that a gamble has high variance if it takes a large number of trials to converge to the expected average payoff per game. A gamble has low variance if it converges quickly. In general, high variance means high risk, and high risk usually means higher reward, ie. higher expectation.

We would love to get to know you before taking you on, find out what you aim to get out of poker coaching, what level you’re at and where you think you need improvements. This is should be seen as an audit and a tester for both you and us to get to know each other before kicking any poker coaching off. Our consultation will involve us asking lots of questions which will allow us to find leaks in your game that need addressing. We can offer initial consultation by email but our preference is to have a chat an hour Skype session or on Zoom. This can be paid for via PayPal for £90. Email info@texasholdemquestions.com if you need any help booking a consultation call. Once the consultation has been paid for we will contact you to book in a date and time.

It depends which service you are interested in. Our typical hourly rate for skype coaching is £90/hour. Poker coaches generally charge between £50-£150 an hour. I would be sceptical of any poker coach charging under £50 an hour. Surely it's more profitable to just play?

We have recently started reviewing online poker sites, performing reviews on 888 poker and Pokerstars. They are certainly 2 of the best ones online. Check out our 888 Poker review and PokerStars review for more information.

I don't have much money for training. Can you still help me?

Of course! We want to help as many players as possible. If coaching is too expensive for you, try our poker training video membership. It's only £49.99 per year. Alternatively, read our free articles. We publish 10 + a month.
