Top Poker Hands

Rationale of the string bet poker is to prevent a gambler from calling, to get a tell (via reaction), then putting more chips to change wager to raise, and when a gambler attempts to raise, putting the chips in the process, it should be categorized as a raise. Look at this, in some Hollywood poker scenes, this scene gets to be done time and time agan. A smoking gambler about 200 years old, it's his move. One of the field has done a bet of 100 dollars, the old man throws out a puff of smoke enough to kill all asthmatics within a one-kilometer radius, and throws a stare enough to scare the Leader of the Zombies. The old man then says- 'I will call that, then raise you another hundred'. It is a string poker bet, and it is actually prohibited. In Hollywood movies, it's allowed, but that's Hollywood for you. At any self-respecting casino, particularly in Las Vegas, you won't see the string bet poker. One could not call then raise simultaneously, you can either raise or just call, but not the two of them. If one of your casino opponents does a string bet poker, don't punch him in the face at once. Better: just call his attention, he might just be a newbie, that, or he has watched all Hollywood poker movies since 1900.
