You can choose to muck the cards at the table, but any player that is interested to see what hand you held can check the cards in the history. This is ONLY for hands that are mucked at showdown. If you have 'auto muck' selected then when you lose a showdown your cards will. The other way to win at poker is by having the best poker hand going into the showdown. This is the final stage of play where 2+ players reveal their hands after all betting rounds have been completed. The goal in most cases is to simply compile the strongest possible 5-card poker hand. Below is a typical example of a poker hand ranking chart.
Poker Muck Hand
What are ring games?
- What does the word muck mean in texas hold-em? It shows your opponent that you genuinely had a good hand, or you were bluffing. If you muck it means that you choose not to show your hand to your opponents, therefore, they are not sure if you were bluffing or if you had a good hand. Source(s): Play Poker. 1 decade ago.
- Helipacter: Howdy, I've just downloaded PT3 Beta version, but the problem I'm having is that the hand history for 888 isn't saving onto my hard drive - to the directory I've told it to (the same directory that I've pointed PT3 to). I've been playing on 888 for a while now, and I've never seen one hand history from them. I've contacted their support, but I was just wondering of anyone else had.
Ring games are poker games played with real chips at stake. Unlike tournament chips, which are worth nothing outside the tournament, ring game chips represent real money. For example, if you buy in for £10 worth of chips and leave the game with £40, you made a £30 profit.
888.com offers ring games of Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi/Lo and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo variations 24 hours a day. Ring games start when two or more active players sit down at a table.
Unlike tournaments, at ring games you are not committed to play for a specified amount of time. You can sit down, play and leave with your winnings whenever you want. Another difference is that at ring games the table limits are fixed for the entire length of the game, whereas at tournaments the limits increase with each round.
888.com also offers two progressive jackpots at ring game tables: the Bad Beat jackpot and the Royal jackpot. We launch our jackpots at initial amounts of £5,000. The more hands played, the bigger the jackpots grow. Visit our Jackpots page to learn how to join a jackpot table.
How to play ring games
You can buy in to a ring game with the maximum amount of chips, or specify a different amount in the window that pops up.
Mark the Automatically get more chips checkbox to automatically buy in again with a new stack of chips if you happen to go bust at the tables. Just select the amount you want to buy in with automatically, and click OK.

Click the Sit down button
in order to join the table. If you would like to switch seats with another player, right click on the preferred seat and click the Seat here option. The table will rotate, and you will be seated in your chosen seat. Alternatively, you can choose your preferred seat the in Setting screen (Game settings tab) for any of our tables. Once chosen, you will be seated in your preferred seat at all times.
To start playing Hold'em and Omaha, you have to post an amount equal to the big blind, or wait until the big blind comes around to you. In Stud games, no matter when or where you sit down at the table, all you have to do is ante up if you want to be dealt into a hand.
As you play
you will find it convenient to use the automatic checkbox options in the lower left corner:
- Post your future blind bets automatically using Post blinds
- Sit out
- Muck all your losing and winning cards automatically using Never Show Hand
- Fold to any bet that is placed during that round
Black buttons with
colored stripe - Call, Fold, Check, Bet, Raise etc. - will appear when it is your turn to act. In No Limit and Pot Limit games, you can use the slider to control how much you want to bet, or just type in the amount in the slider text box.
Before it is your turn to act, you can use the black auto-action radio buttons to determine what you want to do when your turn comes around. This is especially useful when playing multi-hand poker.
Sometimes a hand passes
so fast that you feel you didn't see everything there was to see (e.g. somebody made a crazy call and you want to go back and see so you can write valuable player notes on that player's betting habits). You can view an instant replay of the entire previous hand using the replay button on the top-left corner of the screen.
If you have several
poker games open at the same time, you can decide how to view them by selecting the Tile or Cascade view options.
Enjoy the tables and good luck!
You're all done!
