To help make up for this limitation, it is wise to use either Start Charts (available in many poker books) or the Hold’em Algorithm that permits you to remember just a few key numbers. One problem in Texas Hold’em is you get to see only your two holecards before making the vital decision whether or not to invest your chips to see the flop. Likewise in solitaire.Īs in poker, you have no control over the cards buried in each pile that are revealed as you move the face-up cards elsewhere on the table according to the rules of the game –replacing them with the next card in the pile that is then turned face-up. As you peek at your holecards, you must decide whether or not to play this hand. This criteria in playing solitaire is the equivalent to starting-hand selection in poker. Likewise in poker wait for a better hand to be dealt to you. Playing solitaire on my computer, with a quick click of my mouse, I can bring up another random “hand.” So why waste my time playing inferior starting hands. If your face-up cards do not meet this criteria, then you are solely dependent on luck and bound to be a loser in the long run. If you have played the game, I would venture a guess some of you have already made the same observation, as follows:Īt least four of the initial face-up cards must be related in some way. We won’t go through the details of playing solitaire except to explain that the initial seven face-up cards must be carefully scrutinized to make you a winner. To start, there are seven piles of cards on the table, containing from one to seven cards in sequence, with the top card face-up in each pile. For one thing, you play against yourself – no opponents.
Solitaire hardly resembles any game of poker. So I got up out of bed to sit down at my computer to tell you how playing solitaire can help you to become a winner at Texas Hold’em. Eventually, I admitted defeat in my attempt to fall asleep. Just before going to bed, I had been caught up in playing solitaire on my computer.Īs I became more adept at the game, I realized an intriguing relationship between solitaire and Texas Hold’em – and thought I should share this with the GamingToday readers. Lying in bed, a recurring thought kept crossing my mind as I vainly tried to fall asleep.
