Questions & AnswersWhat do you say we talk about how to play early in a hand of baseball. What's early? After the initial deal, the initial deal is two down cards and one up card. We have a jack of spades, eight of clubs, deuce of diamonds, ten of diamonds. For the sake of demonstration let's look at everybody's pocket card. This person has a pair of sixes in the hole with jack and two sixes, a decent starting hand most definitely. This players has a queen and a jack in the whole and they have an eight up they have clubs working together. They would definitely stick around for another card I'd say. Moving over this player has a ten and a three of clubs in the hole and the deuce showing. So at this time with threes being wild this person has a pair of tens. Moving around to the left this player has simple queen king ten rainbow. So what do we want to do here? Well the person with the two showing actually have a pair in the hole and since they have a two they are going to force to bet the bring in. But since they have the wild card they may want to go ahead and make a full bet. But it wouldn't be to terrible to go ahead and check because this is a game with eight wild cards in every hand. And for opportunities to be dealt an extra down card so really early in hand in baseball unless you are dealt with what's called rolled up. Which is three of a kind you probably want to take it easy even if you are dealt a pair that includes a wildcard.
