How to play long games of poker?
443758
It is impossible to play for that length or anything close to that without making mistakes. Making mistakes is probably the reason anyone WOULD paly that long, to try and make up for their miscues. \n\nTo play that long takes a rare type of player/person. Some1 that is highly addictive, has serious gambling issues, and yes I'm sure coffee/caffeine pills help!

Why cheat? Simply practice and learn how to play the game properly!\n\nI don't use any aids and have a rating around the 1500 mark, and in all honesty players in the 1100s are terrible! Clearly all the cheating is not helping you at all.\n\nWith practice you will soon get the hang of making pots - that is the easy part. Then you need to learn how the white is going to move after it hits the ball depending on how you hit it. From there you can begin to learn how to ensure you always end up in position for another pot.\n\nKeep your shot selection simple - only use spin when you absolutely have to for example - and learn to trust your own judgement. Most pots I miss occur when I have second thoughts and try to line it up better! If you are having to try and use "trick shots" then you are never going to win, and if you play someone who makes a series of "impossible" shots against you then you know they are cheating (just like you are) - generally those people are terrible at safety play, so I just snooker them and let them foul repeatedly until I win anyway lol\n\nSome people also pick their opponents carefully, because when you play someone ranked lower than you you risk losing 20+ points if you lose, but maybe only gain 1 or 2 when you win.\n\nBut hey - it's just a game. Enjoy it, and don't let defeats spoil your enjoyment.

The easiest way is to win all the games. You can lose some in the early rounds when it is round robin.

The rules are generally announced at the beginning of each match and can change, like house rules when you play poker.\nHere's how it goes generally\n1. Keep your face mask or goggles on at all times. (This is the hardest for me because the damn things fog up my glasses)\n2. If your face mask or goggles come off, cover your eyes and yell "Dead Man" (This may be different in different places)\n3. If someone yells dead man, cease fire and don't move until the all clear is given.\n4. If you get hit and the paint ball doesn't burst, it doesn't count. If it makes a mark, you're dead. Yell "Dead Man" and then leave the field.\n5. When one team is out of guys, the other team wins. The last guy is required by an unwritten rule to go down in a blaze of glory.\n\nI think that's it, but generally you do a rundown before the start of each match to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Are we talking about draw poker?\n\nDepends on what is missing I would say.\n\nSuppose all spades were missing except for the 2 of spades which was still there.\n\nThen there are only one-thirteenth as many way of having 4 of a kind as usual, but four twos, if drawn (in one of 36 ways) would be the winning four of a kind hand, three of a kind and Full House would be much harder than normal but the prospects for a flush, a straight, and a royal straight flush would not be significantly affected, I would think, and it might be proper to re-order the ranking of the various hands, as a result.\n\nIf all 5s and all 10s were removed from the pack, it would then be impossible to get a run of cards with 5 successive values (you could get A 2 3 4, or 6 7 8 9 or J Q K A) and hence a royal straight flush would be impossible, as would all other straight flushes or straights without a flush. making four of a kind the best hand there is.\n\nSo what would happen is that the relative probability of some hands would be affected and the ranking order of hands ought to be adjusted, as it is rarest down to most frequent, and if what is rarest and what is most frequent changes, the order should change too.\n\nBut I don't see why the game with a reduced pack of cards would favour one player other than another, except insofar as some people can calculate the new odds better than other people, and adjust their game accordingly but it wouldn't affect the cards you were dealt or the cards you drew.\n\nSo no reason why your chances as against the other players would be any worse, not unless one player had all the missing cards up his sleeve and could judiciously bring them into play, unnoticed!

You can do several things.  \nFirst - work on your short game.  Spend 20 minutes 3 times a week putting and the same for chipping.  You want your chips close enough to the hole you can one putt.  Putting no 3 putts.  \n \nSecond - Make notes on your score card - How many times did you lose one stroke because for your drive or 3 putt.  That will help you find out what areas to work on.\n\nthird - Mental game - Look at the hole and chose high percentage shots you can hit.  Let's say you want to shot 90.  Look at a par 4 and figure out what 3 shots you can hit to get on the green.  Don't waste shots with clubs you can't hit.  A lot of people hate 30 yard shots, don't put yourself in that position.  Hit a different club so you are 70 yards out.  \n\nLast - Next month is free lesson month go to www.playgolfamerica.com and sign up with one of your local pros and go to the improve your game section www.pga.com and look at all the tips \n\nHave fun

The two answers above are totally wrong.\n\nPlaying through is a touchy thing. First off there has to be extenuating circumstances to warrant playing through. \n\n1) You MUST be playing faster and better than the people you're playing through\n\n2) There MUST not be anyone in front of the group you're trying to play through, otherwise, what's the point? It's like passing someone on the right in rush hour traffic....you're no further ahead than when you passed.\n\n3) Hopefully you're a twosome or onesome playing through a group with more numbers than you, if not PLAY FAST.\n\nOnce these conditions are met, hopefully the group in front of you will wave you onto a green and suggest that you play through. \n\nOtherwise you can try to play fast enough to meet the group on the next tee and then politely ask, "mind if we play through?" Then it will be up to that group to let you play through or not. \n\nIf they do allow you to play through PLAY QUICKLY, don't be checkin the wind and asking for yardages to carry bunkers, just step up and slap it, and then play the hole out quickly.\n\nThere's nothing worse than a group that plays through and then holds you up....\n\nHope this helps, I'm sure there are articles on the net....perhaps under golf etiquette?

Each player is allowed 1 time-out lasting up to 1 minute long per match. This can be done after 1 point if desired, but that would seem a waste! \n\nThe 4 basic shots are forehand drive, backhand drive, porehand push and backhand push. Drives are usually top-spin shots while pushes impart backspin (underspin)

don't knock the 8-ball in until last, unless you're playing straight pool........ keep your eye-level as low as possible, use a smooth stroke.
