It’s super late, you’re bored out of your mind and just staring at your phone screen hoping that someone will contact you. Suddenly, you’re staring at a real dealer at a real table, right there on your screen.
The cards are laid out and six empty poker seats are there just waiting to be filled. This time you won’t need to stress about things like counting chips. All you have to do is pick where you think the best hand will land.
Bet-on-Poker on YesPlay is basically just a classic Texas Hold’em table that you used to watch on TV, but with fixed-odds bets. Six seats get two open cards each and five community cards in the middle. Your job is simple, spot which seat or which hand type has the best chance.
Just keep calm and follow these three small steps to play.
Three small steps
First step: Reach the table. On YesPlay, Bet-on-Poker can be found in the BetGames section under Casino Games. Stakes start from just R1, so even broke okes can try it out. Once you log in, go to https://yesplay.bet/live-games/bet-on-poker and open the stream.
Second step: Okay now you have to study the game and figure out how it works. You’ll see six numbered spots with two face-up cards each from one deck. The dealer then deals the flop, turn, and river into the centre. And one thing to note is that all six hands stay in until the end of the round. As long as you can tell the difference between a full house and a flush, you already know enough to play. Now chill out and watch a couple of rounds before you start spending money. And watch how the odds next to each seat change when new cards get added to the board.
Third step: Keep things nice and simple, especially if you’re just starting out. If you bet on one seat to win a round, you can also make another smaller bet, such as ‘pair or better’ or ‘three of a kind’, but that’s pretty much it. For example, if you put R20 on Seat 3 at odds of 3.40 and that seat wins, your total return will be R68.
