Learning Public Poker<br />

The good player can extract a steady income from the unlimited supply of players and money offered by<br />

public club and casino poker. But the house cut, the stiffer competition (resulting from the higher<br />

percentages of superior and professional players in public poker), and the rigid rules and betting<br />

limitations of public poker all serve to reduce the good player's edge odds, flexibility, and income. As a<br />

result, private poker is generally more profitable than public poker.<br />

1. Club Poker<br />

Public poker in the Gardena card clubs is tough, fast, and different. As a group, the Gardena poker<br />

players are the best in the world. Most newcomers to public club poker lose money not only because of<br />

the house collection and the superior competition, but also because of their own confusion, errors, and<br />

lack of knowledge. Even the experienced private-game player will be confused, perhaps shaken, the first<br />

time he plays public club poker--especially if the first time is in Gardena, California.<br />

Unlike casino poker, in club poker there are no house dealers to protect, help, or guide new players.<br />

Also, club poker moves faster and is higher pressured than casino poker. The newcomer to Gardena<br />

poker often encounters harassment, intimidation, and pressure from other players. The nonprofessional<br />

regular players in the lower stake games especially try to press for advantages by intimidating<br />

newcomers into losing money through confusion and errors. Superior players and professionals in<br />

higher-stake games, on the other hand, usually do not harass new players because they want to hold<br />
