A Kces DIsciplIne Mod Hklll In rorclitgOpponent to Muke rnieel InferencesThe Intellectual part of draw poker said

a veteran player Is comprised In the wldorange of calculation on the possible strengthot your opponents hand based on the numberof card that he draws If for Instance hedraws three cards you know for a certaintythat he cannot hold more than a pair If youhold a high pair yon have an equal chance ofgetting as good a hand as his It you also drawthree cards-

Hut suppose your opponent draws only twocards Then you are at liberty to Infer that hohas throe of a kind Very often he wishes youto Infer that whon he has not got them A boldplayer who opens a jack pot when he hasonly ono pair of jacks will often bold anothercard and draw but two for the purpose of lead-ing

¬

his opponent tolnfor that ho has three of aj kind Timid players are often caught by this

subterfuge It your opponent drawn one cartI you have the choice of a variety of Inferencns

Von may infer that he is trying to fill astralcht-or a flush or a lUll Tim fact maybe that hohas nothing at all In his bund and draws onlyone cord for the purpose of loading you to ID

fer that ho IK drawing to something He mayhav o two pairs or ho may have three of a kindand ho may wish you to think hols drawing totwo pair It li easy to bo misled by apparentlylogical Inferences For Instance 1 once knewa pluver who alter he baa opened a jack potsoul 1 wish to lay down ono card face downand draw another and at the conclusion of theplaying I will show you that the card I laydown pairs with one in my hand to prove thatI had enough toopon the pot Tha inferencefrom this was obviously that ho wist ed tobreak hU pair tot tile purpose of drawing tosomething straight or a flush This inferitO naturally led tho opponent to belIeve thatho only had to combiit the probability of a-

II flush or a straight being filed on the drawThe fact was that the man nho laid down thecard did not break a pair at all but still heldfour of a kind in his hand and adopted thismethod of lending his opponent to believe thatha was playing a Uespernto game

Ono evenIng some gentlemen were playingwhen one of them said I advise you all notto bet as I have four of a kind The fact washo held four aces Quo ot the party said Ifyou will lot mo draw the queen of clubs I willbet against toll The man nlth the four acesjumped at the Inference that his opponent pro¬

posed to bet on four queens The Tact wasthat the man who got the cjueon filled a royalflush which knocks four aces higher than akite Indeed the beauty of the game of drawpoker consists in the opportunities for mis-leading

¬

your opponent Into making these falseInferences It Is a common trick to get a repu-tation

¬

for bluffing by a number of small lossesI ocause If your opponent thinks you ore abluffer he will hot against you at the very timewhen you want hint to bet If you get thereputation of being a cautious player whonever bets except on a good hand your oppo-nents

¬

will be IlKely to keep down your win-nings

¬

by seeing your bets without raising Inorder to Induce thorn to bet you must leadthorn to Infer that your hand Is Inferior

Bold plaj ers will ofton stand vat and drawno cards in order to lead their opponents toInfer that they hold huh hands But a goodplayer will not act on such an Inference If heholds anything It Is a common play when thelack polls opened for one of the players tocome in and stand pat on a moderate handanti raise the bet to the highest limit when theman who opens the pot draws threecards Theman with tile pat hand hopes that the openerIf ha duos not fill will bo frightened off andsometimes ho will bo If he has not the nerve toreject such nu Inference Frequently a boldplayer who has had hard luck will recoupeven when he holds a poor hand by bettinghigh and standing pat In the hope that theother plaiers will Infer that his tuck haschanged and that he would not risk furtherloss on a blui

The Inferences poker depend largely onthe players knowledge of each others peculiarmanner of playing To the onlooker It Is oltensurprising to sea how often floors who knoweach other well will cuesb nt each othershands dettJt each other In bluffing or dropout with able hand on the shrewd and accu-rate

¬

conclusion that sonic other band Is big ¬

ger Such players Unit It veiydlfllcult to de-ceive one another with false Inferences buteven they are often deceived by the arts whichthe Intelligent nervy and diplomatic pokerplayer knows so well how to practise
