Off topic this is not about poker but general games of chance. – David Basarab Jun 8 '10 at 14:37

Prop bets by nature are so varied and with so many extraneous variables these sorts of questions are unanswerable much of the time. – Tom Gullen Aug 24 '10 at 8:30

A better question would be "How do I calculate pot odds?". Still, both of those are very basic, so not very good examples of questions for this site. – D.H. Jun 28 '10 at 12:52

This category is about the game itself, not international restrictions when playing it online. – Jonathan Sampson Jun 10 '10 at 14:23

This is a question for a lawyer. Stack Exchange sites are not a good place to get legal advice. – Daniel Stutzbach Jun 17 '10 at 12:41

Agree with Daniel, it's off-topic because IANAL more than because it's not relevant. – Freed Jun 28 '10 at 18:41

This site is about poker strategy not where to play it. – David Basarab Jun 7 '10 at 1:46

Didn't vote on/off topic, but perhaps a better question would be "What are good resources to find live games?" – meklarian Jun 22 '10 at 8:51

It's not clear that the site is about just strategy. StackOverflow allows questions regarding the "environment" of programming so I think that a this site should allow questions about the "environment" of poker. – D.H. Jun 28 '10 at 8:12

Where does it say it is just about poker strategy?? – bmm Aug 3 '10 at 12:22

	Since I suspect this proposal is intended for "proper" ring poker games (Texas Hold'em, 7-Card Stud etc.), I'm just adding this question so that the community can decide whether games played against the house rather than against other players are on-topic or off-topic. – Dan Dyer Aug 19 '10 at 17:30
	Interesting. If this is considered off-topic, it is a great example. – D.H. Aug 19 '10 at 19:14

Similar to hand analysis, but since it's a whole session it can't really have a good answer. I would say that a video of a single hand (how did I play this hand?) is on topic while a video of a whole session is not. – D.H. Sep 1 '10 at 18:54

didn't vote on this, but I'd imagine that more focused and tightly defined questions of this nature could make good community wiki questions. eg. "What expectations should a player have to make money as a pro player?" – meklarian Oct 13 '10 at 16:37

I voted not-a-good-example. This could be a legitimate question (especially for new sites), but the topic is contentious and is unlikely to produce good answers. – meklarian Sep 20 '10 at 17:02

This question is too vague. 5 player game of what? Hold'em? 7-Card Stud? 5-Card Stud? etc. . . Each of these would change the potential answer. – David Basarab Jul 6 '10 at 15:12

	Example, "QQ in Early Position facing 4 bet from nit - NL400" – Tom Gullen Aug 24 '10 at 8:38
	I think that it's better to post the example in your comment as your example question. Check this thread out: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/55203/… – D.H. Aug 24 '10 at 15:18

On topic but at a basic level that might make the site unattractive to pros. – Ed Guiness Jun 17 '10 at 7:38

I agree there are too many beginner poker sites, we are looking for serious questions here. I think otherwise the sites topic will be too broad. – Spasski Jun 24 '10 at 18:32

Something you can find out using Google in under 20 seconds does not belong to a site like this. – Freed Jun 28 '10 at 18:48

This could be covered in one Community Wiki that ranks the hands. – David Basarab Jun 29 '10 at 16:34

@Freed, remember one of the goals of SE (or at least SO) was to get the questions in the first page of google searches for the relevant keywords. – finnw Aug 9 '10 at 22:07
