Tips and Strategies:

Community Cards

Use the community cards to your advantage.

• If you have the first bet on a flop that contains a pair, consider making a strong play no matter what your pocket cards. It’s very difficult for your opponents to call that bet.

• Don’t get excited if you have a good hand with flop. Your oppo- nents are using those cards too!

• Bet if the flop is unpromising and you have an Ace. Be careful, however, if someone raises.

• Watch for straight and flush possibilities, which become more frequent with community cards.

Tips and Strategies:

Bluffing

You won’t need mirrored shades when you follow these bluffing tactics.

• If a player looks at his chips after the the flop, the turn, or the river, he’s probably going to bet.

• If a player reaches for his chips while you’re betting, he’s proba- bly going to fold (he’s trying to convince you otherwise).

• If a player looks at his pocket cards after the flop, he probably

doesn’t have a very strong hand (it’s forgettable, apparently).

• Don’t look at your cards before it’s your turn to bet. Study how your opponents react to their cards instead. Learn their mannerisms while concealing your tells.

• Study changes in a player's demeanor, remaining aware that he may be acting.

• Getting caught in a bluff early is not necessarily a bad thing. Later in the game, your opponents may call with losing hands, just to avoid being suckered.

• Watch your opponents closely, especially when you’re out of a hand.

OPERATION NOTE

1. Please see the drawing on

page 15 for the IR specification.

2. If the IR connection is not

good, the controller will go

offline. When this happens, you

will see a small icon of a red circle

with an X on the TV screen. This

icon will be shown for about 60

seconds, followed by a countdown

from 9 to 0. Before countdown

reaches 0, you can get online again

by directing the controller within

the effective IR area. If this does-

n’t work, you may need to reset

the controller by turning the

switch to

OFF for about 1 second

then ON

again.

When you get

online, your stash will be dis-

played and you can continue to

play. If you cannot get online

before countdown to 0, you will be

out of the game for the current

hand and the current hand will

continue

among the remaining

active players. Provided there are

two or more active players at the

end of the current hand, the game

will proceed to next hand. You can

return to the game as a new player

in the next hand by keeping the

controller ON at the beginning of

the next hand.

to rejoin the game. You can then continue to play with the same stash as when you went offline.

3. After turning on the controller, you will see the full segments of LCD flash twice. If you do not see the flashing of full segments, the controller is having a problem. Check the batteries in the controller and try again.

4. After pressing a button in central unit or controller, there is loading time of program. You may need to press and hold the button in order to take effect. Pressing the button too fast and continuously will affect button recognition.
