Ace has always complained about how badly Dolly beats him every time they play Internet poker games. So we here at AceHoyle.com naturally assumed she’d be the perfect person to give instructions on how to play poker in our online Internet poker school.

What we didn’t realize when we gave her the job, however, was how terribly we’d misunderstood Ace – and it wasn’t till we showed up for the first day of class that our mistake became clear: Rather than wear the schoolmarm outfit we’d given her, Dolly came dressed like something out of a Tim Burton movie.

She waited for us to finish piling into the room, then shouted in German and smacked Tomas so hard his cheekbone shattered. Obviously, whatever she’d said didn’t need repeating. The rest of us raced to our desks like pigs to a trough.

So it seems the Ace Hoyle crew has created a monster – but a monster who will, no doubt, give those brave enough to enter her schoolhouse-cum-dungeon complete instructions on how to play poker games.

What’s more, she’ll do it as clearly and concisely as any British dame speaking Hochdeutsch with a southwestern twang; she’s not only divided her instructions on how to play poker into sections for each of the 11 online Internet poker game types listed below, but she’s also split each entry’s tutorial into eight sections.

This breakdown, Dolly assures us, will make learning to play poker über simple. And taken together, she says, her poker lessons will teach you to play poker games like a pro. Of course, you might not believe that anyone could set down the final word in online Internet poker game guides. But, before you raise your hand to object, remember what happened to poor Tomas….

Miss Dolly’s Poker Tutorials

Texas Hold’em

Of all the online Internet poker game types played today, Texas Hold’em is probably the most popular. It’s also the main reason most people take Dolly’s poker lessons, so it always heads her list of poker lessons. According to her, if you can’t learn to play poker at Texas Holdem tables, you should stop "vaisting" her time and go play "zolitaire." We’re not exactly sure what that means, but it sure sounds good coming from such shapely lips.
