Poker Logic 1.1
Copyright(c) 1998, RGPS
All Rights Reserved
Thank you for trying Poker Logic. Poker Logic is a Poker Game that combines
Poker with some Logical Analysis of your hand. It will make you a better
player and may help you win at the Casinos ;-)
By Playing the game on your Palm Pilot(TM) perhaps you can learn to play
better and win a few bucks next time you go to the casino. If you do please
remember who provided this learning aid for you ;-)
Poker Logic also has a TeachMe Mode that will warn you when you are not
playing according to an optimal playing strategy. This feature will help
you learn the "Right" way to play Poker Logic.
How to Play
------------
Place your initial bet by selecting the BET button after INCREASING or
DECREASING the bet value displayed on the chip in the lower left corner
of the screen. After you have placed your bet three cards will be dealt
face up and two cards will be dealt face down. After examining the three
cards you may elect to Increase Your Bet or Stand, which ever seems LOGICAL.
After this first decision is made one of the face down cards will be
revealed and you will be given the choice to Increase Your Bet or Stand,
again you should do what is LOGICAL. After making this decision the last
face down card will be revealed and the hand will be evaluated using
normal Poker hand rules. Your minimum bet will be one chip assuming
logic determines the hand is not worth more. Your maximum bet will be
three chips assuming logic indicates that you have either a 'Sure Win'
or a good chance of winning. Each Poker hand will pay out a different
amount.
The payouts are as follows
Pair of 10s or better 1:1
Two Pair 2:1
Three of a kind 3:1
Straight 5:1
Flush 8:1
Full House 11:1
Four of a Kind 50:1
Straight Flush 200:1
ROYAL FLUSH 1000:1
The key to Winning
------------------
Your only real chance to win is through Money Management. You need to
increase your bet when you are on a winning streak and decrease your bet when
you are on a loosing streak. Obviously the odds are with the house, that's
why they call it gambling. Your strategy should be to Increase you bet on
hands you know you will win or when you feel lucky ;-)
When the shuffle every hand option is off the game deals from a single
deck so a little card counting won't hurt. Remember...not registering
your shareware will bring you bad luck ;-)
The evaluation period is 30 days. If you continue to use it after 30 days, you
are required to register.
