Badge tips

Be sure you don't confuse this game with Texas Hold'em when activating badges!

For The Sky's the Limit, you must play on the Limit tab to earn spins if you win by the other players folding. You'll earn one spin for every four hands you win. If you play on the No Limit tab, the last player standing (tournament winner) earns a spin.

For faster game win badges with friends or cooperative players, have all but one player fold and that player will win the hand. Take turns until everyone's got their badge.

For game win badges, refer to Game tips.

Game tips

ALWAYS read a game's How to Play, and also check for a Hints or Tips tab and/or Tutorial. They do help!

Your poker hand is made up of any combination of five cards between the two dealt to you and the five on the table. Your best current hand is highlighted in white on the hand rankings table to the left of your cards, and the best possible hand given the community cards is in blue.

Your rank in this game will go up or down depending on tokens won or lost. Your rank progress will generally increase faster when you win than it will decrease when you lose. The tab you play on also affects rank progress, which is fastest in High Rollers games and slowest on Just For Fun. Also, rank progress is a bit faster playing against humans than against Pogobots.

You can play faster games on the real token tabs as they have no Pogobots. You can set a private table with just two people on the Limit/Low Rollers tabs but you will be gambling with real tokens.

When playing to win against Pogobots, raising your bet to the maximum possible each turn sometimes makes the bots fold in Pogo poker games, but Pogobot in No Limit don't seem to be easily bluffed.

The No Limit tab is for tournament-style games where you can bet your entire stake ("all in"). Four people are required to start a No Limit game.

Serious poker players usually play on the Middle or High Rollers tabs and bet with real tokens. Don't join these games unless you're confident in your poker abilities or don't care if you lose tokens!

More about No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker

This game was released in May 2007, the same time as the very-similarly named Texas Hold'em had a No Limit option added, causing much confusion for many people (including me). 6th Street Omaha Poker is also played similar to the two Texas games.

Poker is easy to learn but difficult to master, and since I'm no expert I won't say much here about how to win beyond badge- and Pogo-specific tips. There are countless resources online and off about how to play better poker.. take advantage of them!
