Cut-Throat Bridge

Many suggestions have been made to make bridge suitable for three players. The most satisfactory is townie but what has become known as Cut-throat Bridge is the original and the simplest of the three-handed variations.

The players take seats at random and after drawing for deal, shuffling and cutting in the regular way, the dealer deals thirteen cards each to the three players and to a fourth hand that is temporarily set aside.

The auction, beginning with the dealer, is conducted as in the parent game, and when a player’s bid, double or redouble has been passed by the other two players, the player on his left leads to the first trick. The player who has obtained the final contract then sorts the fourth hand, spreads it in front of him on the table, and plays it as his dummy, against the other two players in partnership with each other.

Play poker bridge and scoring are the same as in the parent game, except that if a player loses his contract both his opponents score the penalty points. The winner of a rubber receives a bonus of 700 points if neither opponent has won a game, but 500 points if either has.

Very clearly the game is a gamble, because the players must bid in the hope of finding the cards they need in the dummy hand.

A variation designed to make the game less speculative is for every player to be dealt seventeen cards and the fifty-second card face downwards to the dummy. After looking at their cards, and before bidding them, every player contributes four of them, face downwards, to the dummy. This way, every player knows four out of the thirteen cards that he is bidding for.

In another variation, instead of bidding for the dummy, an agreed number of deals (that must be divisible by three) are played, and, in turn, every player plays the dummy against the other two playing in partnership.

In this variation rubbers are not played, but the player who bids and makes game scores a bonus of 300 points. There is no vulnerability.

How can the law of large numbers be applied to gambling? Many system reply on the theory that if one is backing red, say, in roulette and one gets behind because of an adverse run on black, the law of large numbers will ensure that red will eventually catch up. The probability of this can be assessed for any number of coups.

In throwing a die, the probability of throwing a 6 is 1/6. The more times the die is thrown, so the likelihood increases that the closer, in proportion, will be the number of 6s to 1/6 of the number of throw.

It is in the disregard of the words -in proportion- that most misconceptions arise. In 600throws of a die, we might expect a 6 to occur about 100 times. We would not be unduly surprised ie the deviation from our expectancy were 20 per cent, but we would if the number of 6s were 80 above or below the expected 100. In 600,000 throws, we would expect about 100,0006s. Conversely we would not be surprised if the deviation were 80, but would be astonished were the deviation 20 per cent. The larger the number, the smaller will be the likely deviation, in percentage term, but it will be larger in actual number.

In the law of large numbers, what is a large number? Paradoxically, whatever it is, it is never large enough. If the richest man in the world converted his fortune into pennies, and spun them all, would there be enough for him to be confident that he would get close to 50 per cent head/50 per cent tails? Yes, but he would probably be even closer if 100 other men with similar fortunes joined him in the experiments, although the actual number of 'odd' heads or tails over probably would be greater. If the two richest men in the world tossed a coin repeatedly and paid each other in pennies for a correct call, it is certain that one would eventually finish broke.

Poker variations

There are man different poker games and each game can be played with different rule. In High-Low Poker, for instance, the pot is divided between the holders of the highest and lowest hands at the showdown. In some poker games the player on the dealer's left is required to put an agreed stake, known as an 'ante', in the pot, the next player puts in a 'straddle', twice the amount of the ante, and the third player opens the betting. In all poker games an additional option to dropping out, calling or raising can be allowed by agreement. It is known as checking. The player whose turn it is to stake first in each betting interval (the player on the dealer's left, or the player with highest combination showing in stud poker) may check, and remain in the game without increasing his stake. Subsequent players may do the same, until a player raises, when, of course, all poker games wild cards may be used by prior agreement. The Joker may be added to the pack as a solitary wild card, or black Twos, or all four Twos, may be wild. At the showdown, players are required to state which cards Their wild cards represent. With wild cards, a new rank of hand is possible: five of a kind. It is the highest hand.

Poker strategy

It is claimed by good poker players that poker is more skillful game than bridge. This assertion is based on the belief that a good poker player can win more consistently and surely than a good bridge player. The good player is required to have some idea of the mathematical odds against improving any hand he is dealt by the draw, and as there are 2,598,960 possible poker hands in a 52-cards pack, this is tall order. He must consider the size of the pot and calculate how much he might expect to win in relation to the stake required to remain in the game. He must know the practice of the other players and and be able to estimate the strength of his opponents' hands by the number of cards they draw and the way they bet. At the same time he must vary his own betting strategy to deny the other players the same information about himself. Above all, he must cultivate a 'poker face'. Such skills can only come from the study of books dealing exclusively with the game and from long practice as a player. Beginners should accept that they are likely to lose to regular players, and should limit their bets accordingly.

Five-Card Stud

Two cards are dealt to each player, one face down and the ither face up. There is a round of betting, starting either with the lowest cards or the highest card on board, depending on the betting rules. A third card is dealt face up, and there is a round of betting, starting with the best high hand on board. A fourth and fifth card are dealt face up with a round of betting after each. After the final round of betting, the best high hand in the showdown wins the pot.

Razz

Two cads are dealt face down and one face up to each player. Usually the high card on board (Excluding the ace up, and counts as low) starts the action. A fourth card is dealt face up, and there is a round of betting, beginning with the best two-card low on board. A fifth and sixth card are dealt face up with a round of betting after each, starting with the best low hand on board. A seventh and final card is dealt face down, followed by a final round of betting. In the showdown the best low hand wins.

Five card Draw After the ante each player is dealt five cards face down. Starting with the player to the dealer's left, each player checks, bets or raises. to open, a player must usually hold a pair of jacks or better. In many games a joker is used, usually as a bug but sometimes as a wild card.

Once the first round of betting is complete, each active player, starting to the dealer's left, has the option of discarding from one to five cards and receiving replacements from the dealer. Sometimes the rules of a game restrict to three the number of cards any player may replace.

After the draw, there is final round of betting, usually starting with the player who opened the pot. In the showdown the best high hand wins.
