Strategy for Buying Royalty Cards in Russian Revolution Poker

Video Transcript

"Now instead of playing that buying another card is a set amount let's say that every time you have to match the pot. So then this player and I catch a face card since I'm working on a flush and it's early I'll play. If I'm this player I have a pair of kings thanks to my wild card in the hole I'm going to continue. But I need to consider the fact that one of my kings are being burnt. However, like I say I do have a pair and its' 8 to match the pot so I shall stay and I get another card. But what about this fellow who has nothing going on he has queen 7 5 no connectivity, no suites. Say he catches a face card after the pot has already been matched twice. There are 16 chips in the pot does he want to put out 16 chips, I'm thinking that the answer is no because he doesn't have much going on. So it's key to consider options and to consider odds in this case pot odds being 1 to 1. If you are matching the pot it's always 1 to 1 you need to decide if it's worth it for you to continue in the hand or to say I fold."
