Strip Poker is an altogether different variation of the Poker card game. As the name suggests, players have to remove their clothing one by one according to occurrence of the events in their Poker. game. Most often, such a particular type of Poker game does not occur in reality. It ends up being an imagination of some players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, there are specific instances of occurrences of strip &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; game too. The main factor though is frequency of occurrence of such a game is very low. The most famous strip Poker production on record is National Lampoon's Strip Poker. WWE, Playboy, and other pin-up models took part in no-limit &lt;a href="http://www.texasholdempoker4u.com/" target="_blank" title="Texas Hold'em"&gt;Texas Hold'em&lt;/a&gt; Poker competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire production and filming was at Hedonism II nudist resort in Negril, Jamaica. Later, Pay-Per-View aired it in 2005. Winner of the first episode was Playboy model Taylor Kennedy. Taylor stripped five other models completely naked to win the title. National Lampoon's Strip Poker was also the first title in National Lampoon's history to feature full frontal female nudity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I actually play strip Poker with my boyfriend when i am feeling that funny feeling. It is a fun way of teasing each other. I also play it when i am with girlfriends for the sake if a clean fun. It not only make you bring home plenty of cash, it also enforces some kind of a unique bond between players. I have included the game rules for your convenience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Game Rules&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strip Poker functions similar to that of any other variety of &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; game. You can play accordingly with number of players and adopt betting and dealing rules accordingly. Players form their own rules of the game for implementation at the end of a hand. Some of them include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1) Player with the best hand can remove a clothing of another player. This player can choose the player whose clothing needs shedding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(2) Player with the worst hand has to remove a part of his clothing. Otherwise, player losing the maximum money in that particular round has to remove part of his clothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(3) Sometimes, player could trade a piece of his clothing for chips if he is in need of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(4) At the end, all players except the winner lose an article of their clothing or their full clothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(5) The game sometime continues until all players are in their nude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(6) Sometimes, you can buy back your clothing when you earn back chips. Here, there is no long term or total loss of clothing. However, without such an occurrence, nudity is always on an increase throughout the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(7) Furthermore, game continues with losing players performing sexual acts after losing all their clothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strip Poker could be an accepted and enjoyed form of fantasy game in certain specific cases:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courtship: Willing partners agree to perform intimate acts as a part of the game. Most often, it is between two individuals only.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mature Relationship: Mature partners could try adventurous ways of becoming more intimate with each other. It could be a way of introducing variety into their intercourse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recreation: Adults partake in the game without any intention of progressing towards sexual intercourse. Instead, it is plain recreation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Partying: Some youth groups indulge in such partying acts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pornography: Pervert individuals take part in such pornographic display combining with their favorite games.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-5180601363744453098?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/5180601363744453098/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=5180601363744453098' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/5180601363744453098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/5180601363744453098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/06/strip-poker-i-love.html' title='Strip Poker- i love'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-2493506975203210503</id><published>2008-06-02T08:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-11T00:56:20.988-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker Babes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker'/><title type='text'>Bridging the gap between adult industry and Poker world</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/185/431986497_688fd3d083.jpg?v=0" width="350" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is undeniable that beer, &lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; and sex always go together. So naturally, people who are keen on playingOnline Poker also looks for a website that caters than can be partnered with their internet Poker gaming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NakedPoker.com, which launched on July 7, joins a small but expanding family of a new type of &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Online Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Online Poker&lt;/a&gt; site, one that mashes sex and Poker together into one pulsation package. Instead of brilliant middle-aged men wearing golf shirts, these sites feature topless women in high heels. Instead of tons of pages dedicated to Poker strategy articles, these sites feature high-resolution galleries of hot babes in bikinis, hot babes in unbuttoned shirts, hot babes lying on Poker tables, and hot babes doing what hot babes do best: look hot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We do not consider ourselves as part of the adult industry; we just recognize that adult males like to look at pretty females," said Michael Erstling, marketing director for NakedPoker.com. "And they also like to play Poker."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com/" title="Online Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; Players Alliance, the grassroots organization that is working to keep Online Poker legal, estimates that more than 70 million Americans play Poker, and about 5 million of them play online. Last year, more than $60 billion was wagered on Poker sites worldwide, with close to 90 percent of that coming from players in the U.S. Online adult entertainment sites have had similar success. Top Ten Reviews, an online research site, states that last year, 72 million unique visitors visited pornographic websites, and that adult-oriented Internet sites generated $57 billion worldwide ($12 billion from the U.S.). With more than $60 billion spent on porn and poker by Americans, it's no wonder more and more Poker-nudie sites are springing up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, one way to make sure money is on your way is to create needs and this is what Nakedpoker.com is doing creating the need for an adult Poker site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pamela Anderson and Doyle Brunson chose the day before the start of the World Series of Poker main event to announce the launch of their new venture, Pamela'sPoker. Entertainment Tonight showed up at the press conference, and Pamela wore white (and a see-through top) to her "wedding" with Doyle. The room was packed with national media who couldn't get enough of it. Pamela's site is a skin of DoylesRoom.com, and includes a massive gallery of seminude Pam photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NakedPoker.com is going to be the site to watch, just to see how far players want to go with mixing sex and Poker. Since it's brand-new, the direction the site takes and how it will change and evolve will be determined by its current users. Right now, the site leans toward the soft-core side, what Erstling calls "tasteful." The site's still loaded with women. The welcome page features 14 itself, but they are positioned in ways in which all of the erotic body parts are covered. Not one nipple can be found on the site, but this will probably change, because NakedPoker.com will take on the shape that its players want it to take. Every so often, NakedPoker.com sends a questionnaire to its customer base, and if the players want to see absolutely naked women, there's space to write that down. If enough real-money players want something, that's how it's going to be. Every NakedPoker.com player who returns a survey receives an extra $10 in his account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there. This just might be a useful tip to those who are thinking of launching a new website. Instead of Poker articles or a Poker Review site, why not try this kind of site. For sure it is gonna be a hit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more Poker Review hotness, please go to this very cool Poker Blog site.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-2493506975203210503?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/2493506975203210503/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=2493506975203210503' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/2493506975203210503'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/2493506975203210503'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/06/bridging-gap-between-adult-industry-and.html' title='Bridging the gap between adult industry and Poker world'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-3714394826949902763</id><published>2008-06-02T07:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T22:54:39.481-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hot and Intense</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It is true that girls have to make unusual efforts so they can be successful in playing   &lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt;. In some point that is very sexist, but in another way, many babes are making huge money in just a night just by showing their god given assets while playing Poker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is gambling better than sex? Some people equate money to power. Money can give you a lot of power. But it can also strip you of the power if you lose it. Some gamblers would rather gamble than have sex. Not my friend, who wants it all. She has had some of her deepest and most intense orgasms after winning big at a casino or a  table. There is something about money and sex that go together. Money is quite the aphrodisiac.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first man she married was over 10 years older than her. She was young and a bit of a bimbo when it came to men. He was a gambler, distinguished and loved Blackjack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He liked to have her around because she looked good on his arm and she knew how to gamble. It gave them something to talk about. Sex was very plain and they did not have it very often. But the gambling was sensational!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, i like how they achieved balance in their relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a balance every couple has to achieve. It is like most things in life. Too much of the same thing becomes boring. Can you imagine winning every hand of &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.texasholdempoker4u.com/" title="Texas Hold'em" target="_blank"&gt;Texas Hold'em&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; or Blackjack you played? Can you imagine having sex 24 hours a day? Hell, I would miss the action in the casino. Just like how i would miss the action in the bedroom if I stayed in the casino 24 hours a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can still remember the first time she shared her story to me on how she associated sex with &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt;. She was eighteen years old and was at her boyfriend Big Mike’s house, who is also a friend. They were all alone as his parents had gone out of town to a funeral. They were playing Blackjack for pennies and then Big Mike asked her if she wanted to play strip Poker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She agreed – after all, Big Mike wasn’t called Big Mike for nothing. This was the first and only time she ever cheated at gambling. She was a much better &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; player than Big Mike. So you know what i mean when i say that my friend is kinda a bimbo- she knows she is and she is not shy to admit because she is very real and i love her for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It ended how my friend never won a hand and he had her naked in minutes. What happened next I’ll leave to your imagination. Of course she did not share me the exact details of what happened next but i am sure that it is pretty hot and intense, knowing those two.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To this day, my friend uses her sexiness to distract men in playing Poker. What men did not know is that aside from being hot and sexy, my friend also is a very good Poker player. Once she had you wrapped around her fingers, you are definitely going to lose. She is one perfect example of making unusual efforts just so she can get what she wants.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-3714394826949902763?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/3714394826949902763/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=3714394826949902763' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/3714394826949902763'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/3714394826949902763'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/06/hot-and-intense.html' title='Hot and Intense'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-267911913530761655</id><published>2008-06-01T23:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T23:05:36.868-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Texas Hold&apos;em'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker Resources'/><title type='text'>Why i love online poker...roar</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A good friend of mine just recently asked me why i switched from playing table &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to playing Online Poker. Well the fact of the matter is i did not really abandon the casino or the table Poker, it just so happens that i am kind of lazy nowadays to go out and play outside when i can play at the comfort of my own home, in my room and in bed to be specific.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are a great fan of table &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; then i should not see why you cannot be a great fan of Online Poker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poker is a popular game played around the world- but with the invention of the Internet, the game has become even more popular as a whole. All types of Poker styles, games, and tastes can be satisfied with the Internet- but what specific benefits do &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com/" title="Online Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Online Poker&lt;/a&gt; players get or rather what do i get from playing Poker at home?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm... I do not know. Kidding! Well, If you are a fan of “ Poker night” with the guys, you know how much time that can be spent just setting the &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/top10-poker-bonuses.php" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; table up for a game. There is the table, chips, cards, snacks, refreshments, chairs, and quite a few other variables that go into the setup. Thanks to the Internet, Poker players can enjoy an instant game of Poker whenever they want without having to go through the hassle of setting up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Poker players want Poker- by golly, they want Poker! There shouldn’t be an excuse for calling a game off because several people had “things come up,” and you get the call just before the Poker game starts. This happens to me all the time and i really hate it. It is actually one of the reasons why i have been playing Online Poker so i can completely avoid this kind of problem associated with Poker table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you aren’t keen on betting, there are plenty of places on the Internet that offer free Online Poker. This is a nice change from the real world, where many friends and family members would demand real money be played. With Online Poker- you choose if you are in the mood for risking your money or not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another benefit i really like in Online Poker is that it is global! It connects you to other Online Poker players from different countries and different cultures. Share ideas with them and without a doubt learn from them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you excel in playing Poker on the Internet, you will start opening opportunities for yourself. Many casinos who run Online Poker websites will offer prizes and cash to players that do well- but more importantly, they offer invites to real Online Poker tournaments. This is the perfect opportunity to show the world what you got in real life- and thanks to the Internet no less.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will not make you less of a Poker player if you decide to play online. In fact, i think, well at times, Online Poker is more advisable than playing outside since it gives you more advantages, but in the end, it is still you who decides which is really better. As for me, it has to be Online Poker.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-267911913530761655?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/267911913530761655/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=267911913530761655' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/267911913530761655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/267911913530761655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/06/why-i-love-online-pokerroar.html' title='Why i love online poker...roar'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-7485930683048478525</id><published>2008-06-01T08:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T23:47:35.037-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker'/><title type='text'>Observe your Opponents</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I had been mentioning several days ago- in my posts- that one of the most frustrating aspects for a young (and that’s not referring to age, but to experience) &lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; players can be when you go scrounging for all the information and advice you can get, only to find that while you might get some good advice, you have no idea how to translate that into a practical use at the &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; table. One of the most common examples I see of this is the sage advice: “Observe your opponents.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is great advice, and it is absolutely necessary to becoming a great &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; player, but what does this mean? That’s why in these articles I’ve tried to use as many concrete examples as I could, so maybe it would help anyone reading it along the way a couple good players helped me out when I was just getting started. Here’s a lesson from a game a couple days ago that hopefully can help illustrate part of what it means to “study your opponent.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part of the difference between an extremely tight good player and a player who plays strong hands but fails miserably is knowing how to play those good starting hands. I watched a player show down with the following three hands, which ended up with three boards like this. All three were hands he lost:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His hand:  The board:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now granted, he ran into bad luck, but that first hand should have been thrown away the moment a bet showed up, that second hand had “proceed with extreme caution” written all over it, and that third, you just accept you’re having a bad day and get rid of it—especially by the turn. He kept playing them, though, and lost a lot of chips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s my observations from “watching.” He is NOT a strong player. Just because he has a strong starting hand does not mean he knows how to play it—in fact he kept betting those hands to the river. Other players respected him when they missed their hands, but I watched the board. Pocket pairs always had a chance of hurting me, but I knew he overvalued starting hands. If I had 3rd pair on a junk board, I kept betting because he was paying me off high cards. If I hit a weak flush or weak straight, I kept betting because he was valuing a pair too high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See the difference? Just a glance of the cards he shows would say strong player, but that’s not the right read. He plays strong starting hands, so you should know if you have pocket nines and the flop is all face paint, you want to throw your pair away because he’s likely to have hit big. If you limped in with 2-2 suited and the board is 2-T-A, you’re all set to go. Don’t just watch the hands, watch how they’re played. It’ll be a big boost to your game and your bank roll.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can read more Poker Reviews in this site.

Though i know that sex is one of the greatest gift of being alive, and though i had been invited several times, i still think that sex for the sake of Poker should be avoided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really think it is kind of disgusting if you engage in sex just so you can know the secret or whatever it is to know about that particular famous &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; player. I mean, you can be successful in your own way. If you are really determined, nothing is impossible and you can beat every opponent you want to beat. I always say to those who ask, read Poker Reviews so you will know what is the right, &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com/" title="Poker Rooms" target="_blank"&gt;Poker Rooms&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://pokerstrategy4all.com/" title="Poker Strategy" target="_blank"&gt;Poker Strategy&lt;/a&gt; suited for you. Though some Poker Review sites are purely advertorial, there are still some sites out there who offer honest and unbiased reviews. An example would be  the links in this post, just follow the links and you will be directed to the site where i think every single review is honest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on to Poker strategy here are some helpful tips for beginners or average Poker players. Be sure to follow it by heart, not just by mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friends and I started out learning Poker by playing sit and go tournaments. It was a great way to learn about tournaments, blinds structure and aggression while not bleeding your whole deposit in a couple hours. We actually use to pride ourselves on how long it would be until we had to reload! Playing very tight a few years ago was actually the thing to do to make money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or at least not lose money. When you are learning Poker strategy that is especially crucial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Super rock tight isn’t exactly the best way to play sit and go tournaments these days, because there are a lot of educated players now that use Poker calculator tools that really help their game and vastly improve critical decision making. Now wouldn’t it be great to have a system or training tool that can help you with those types of decisions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, yeah having the right Poker tools is definitely an advantage, but it is the right moves that will make you win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pokeris a game that is filled with decisions which need to be made, risks that need to be taken and money that gets to go home with someone. If you want it to be you, you have to make the right moves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which move should you make ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is a fold the best thing to do? Perhaps a bet or maybe even a call is best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending upon what move you make, the entire game is affected. However, in order to know what move to make, you need to know what is going on within the game. One of the most important things to remember is this; when you feel as if you should bet but you don't know for sure if you should just call, you should always bet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That means that you have a feeling something good is in your hand or that you're going to take the game. Another thing to remember is that if you are having doubts and feel as if you're not going to win the round, you should most likely just fold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, it seems difficult however, you need to pay attention to your intuition as well as to the outward signs of how the game is going and who you are playing. When you are able to play 'in your face'  and Poker make the other players sweat a bit and second guess themselves, you should go for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By betting or raising, you are placing more money in the pot as bait for other players to do the same. You are increasing the amount of money that you can possibly win and playing this kind of poker is a great way to take home the loot. A lot of times within the game of , if Poker you re- raise an opponent, he or she is going to want to prove that they are not afraid to check or even raise again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of the best  Poker strategies that you can use in certain situations. Let's say you have the nuts and your opponents are raising and betting and action is good. Should you raise again ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In most instances, simply calling and allowing yourself another round in the game is a great way to get as much money as you can from the bets. This is because you are in the game, you know that you can't be beaten but you are not scaring anyone off either by betting really high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of these moves are dependent upon the situation you are in during the game as well as what kind of players you are playing against. One thing is for sure; you want them second guessing their every move and afraid of you. That's how great Poker players win games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tips i just told you are a better way to improve your Poker standing rather than being part of the mediocre crowd who uses act of population to gain advances.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-4611348396410024608?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/4611348396410024608/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=4611348396410024608' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/4611348396410024608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/4611348396410024608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/06/dont-buy-sex-buy-game.html' title='DON&apos;T BUY THE SEX, BUY THE GAME'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-1390277119099051370</id><published>2008-06-01T05:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T23:19:42.703-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker Strategy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker'/><title type='text'>Poker thoughts....</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2028/2118857104_e44174d05d.jpg?v=0" width="350" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been playing &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; for the past couple of years and have yet to get tired of it. Many conservative people might not like the idea of getting my whole income just  by playing but i do not really care. I enjoy the job i do and i get a lot of money from it. I think that is what really matters. Do not get me wrong, i am an environmental lawyer just like the famous Poker player David Singer, and i still practice that profession until now, without charging anyone. I mean, i am earning a lot just by using my skills in Poker, the least i can do for my environment is to take care of it without charging anyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As someone who is so used to seeing both sides of the coin, i know that playing &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; has its practical and addicting side, whether you play at home or in the casino. For the young generation, especially the youth today, i do not think they should be playing &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; for a living. They still have a lot ahead of them, and it is way better if they focus on their passion. If they like to write, then they should write first, rather than playing Poker for a living right away. One thing that i have observed in some is that by playing Poker and getting addicted to it, they tend to abandon their dreams of becoming someone- other than being the best Poker player of course. They are not wrong in saying that a Poker job, is the best job but if money is not an issue, i would not let it be my primary source of income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure playing Poker generates huge amount of money i wouldn't get in a year of hard work of plain 'lawyering', but it still saps your potential of becoming someone if only money is not an issue. With Poker career growth is impossible. Unless you are the manager or whatever, your Poker career is stagnant. What happens after you win huge money and then be known by all the ladies and big bosses around? Nothing. You just gain a lot of money and fame but not the knowledge of being a professional writer, actress, lawyer, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never meant to preach, i am just merely saying that Poker is not everything, and you should not make Poker your everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come to think of it, being a great Poker player requires skills that a lot of mediocre Poker players do not have. I just do not like it when some people regard Poker living as trash. Do they even know what they are talking about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though too much of playing Poker is bad, Poker still as an art, one that you have to work hard for. Working hard means studying hard every move or strategy that will be helpful to you so you can beat the sharks. You can read several Poker Reviews and joing Poker Forums. Another way to enhance Online Poker skills is by observing games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love Poker but i still think too much of it is bad. And just because i say too much of it is bad, it does not mean that people can just regard as a small thing, because obviously it's not since you need to possess state of the art skills and mindset to be able to win.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-1390277119099051370?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/1390277119099051370/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=1390277119099051370' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/1390277119099051370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/1390277119099051370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/06/poker-thoughts.html' title='Poker thoughts....'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-5815205786233757381</id><published>2008-05-31T20:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T23:28:05.258-07:00</updated><title type='text'>PLAY POKER FOR POVERTY</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It's contradictory but yes, the &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; industry is urging people to play Poker so they can help those who do not have enough money to eat thrice a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you come to think of it, &lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; enthusiasts utilize huge amounts of money- When i say huge, i mean HUGE!- that can make a family living in poverty survive for a year. I know i do not have the right to judge their ways- since after all, that is their own money, but i just find it unsettling and unusual when the gambling industry participate in a charitable or causely event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, Absolute Poker, one of the world's fastest growing &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com" title="Online Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Online Poker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; sites had call for a charity Poker tournament last year to combat world hunger, poverty and disease as they say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that the Poker industry, just like any other concerned industry, wants nothing but to help alleviate poverty, but the thing is,gambling itself makes some people poor since it lures people to easy money without working hard for anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gambling like any other activity either has a good side or a bad side. It depends on the person doing the activity. Gambling, however, besides having two sides of the coin, is also addicting. Why will you quit playing Poker when it gives you the amount of money that will satisfy you? Most people quit their job, in place of playing Poker for a living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though Poker satisfies our monetary or financial needs, it impedes career and personal growth. Money is not everything, i am sure many know this. Playing Poker should not run your whole life and people who play Poker regularly should know when to quit so they can find a life wherein they will be satisfied even without the act of generating a large amount of money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When it comes to extreme poverty, too many people on this planet have been dealt a bad hand,” stated David Clainer, senior vice president for Absolute Poker. “We’re inviting poker players to help put an end to poverty through a fundraiser that’s both rewarding and fun.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never believed that poverty will end. Povery has long been a part of humanity. Poverty is sort of saying that no matter what humans do, there will always be inequality. Rich or poor, ugly or beautiful and lucky or unlucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is dumb to say that by playing Poker poverty will end because in the first place, gambling itself contributes to poverty and inequality. Am i right or am i right? Laugh out loud!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite all the unpleasant qualities of Poker, i still appreciate its art. Playing Poker requires skill. Since their is inequality not everyone has the right skill to be a Poker champion or good Poker player. And just like any hardworking player, Poker players who have had hard years in playing Poker deserves the right to be respected and be called a champion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important that we excel in the stuff that we do. Sometimes that is all that matters. Excelling in playing Poker does not make a person bad, insensitive, or lazy to find a good and decent job, it only means that Poker players are human through and through who strive hard to make their place in relation to the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-5815205786233757381?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/5815205786233757381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=5815205786233757381' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/5815205786233757381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/5815205786233757381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/05/play-poker-for-poverty.html' title='PLAY POKER FOR POVERTY'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-7595780328711549459</id><published>2008-05-30T12:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T23:33:58.991-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Casino'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker'/><title type='text'>The thing with online poker</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Have you noticed that victory in &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com/" title="Online Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Online Poker&lt;/a&gt; is a hard and an extremely frustrating affair?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right. I know you’re a &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; addict, and I also know you have studied Online Poker for years now- i am too- but more often than not something is just not right when it comes to playing Online Poker. Read on, maybe you can relate to my ramblings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am really not sure if reading poker books can make you produce wise decisions when it comes to beating your Online Poker opponent. But some still read those &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; books since they are written by true professionals, with tens of years of experience in Poker, all of them not only making a mere living off the game, but amassing fortunes on account of their Online Poker skills.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know i have no right to judge their Poker ways but here is an interesting what if. What if those books were not even written and is not applicable to the game you play everyday in your PC?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those books are about real Poker. They talk about playing Poker in flesh and discuss situations and address live Poker issues. Turns out, Online Poker has few things in common with the real casino Poker other than its rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For one thing, live Poker players are used to being bombarded with a plethora of tells all the time. There are so many Poker tells, from facial expression to signs of anxiety, and the mirrors of the soul: the eyes, that it would be tough to even queue them all up here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes people will look absolutely disinterested in their hand, they’ll even get up and leave the table when they have nothing but rags. You will never have such easy tells in Poker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things that are forbidden in real Poker are not regulated in any way in&lt;br /&gt;Poker People can play while on the phone or while having visitors over. They can be playing together with a rookie, trying to teach him/her to play… Calls can often be made by a simple mistake (allowing the rookie to play on his own, or by clicking on the wrong button of the interface).&lt;br /&gt;Poker is a world apart from its casino brethren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only will a good live &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/top10-poker-bonuses.php" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; player have to deal with a shortage of tells, he’ll also have to deal with opponents under circumstances he’d never experienced or thought possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, online players do not even aim to become long term winners. Promotions like rakeback, cashback or prop deals will allow them to be slight losers at the end of the month and still end up making money. At a live Poker table you’re always 100% sure of your opponent’s goals. In Poker…that is simply not the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a lot of multi-tabling going on online as well. People play at 2-6 tables at a time, possibly more, in order to maximize the rake they generate, which will get them more rakeback and their bonuses unlocked. Multi tabling is also one of the simplest ways to squeeze some significant dough out of low and micro limit tables.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How are you going to play against a guy who is paying attention to 5 more tables in the same time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are tells in Poker too, only they have absolutely nothing in common with the tells you may get used to in casino Poker. Betting patterns are the most powerful tells here, including the speed of reaction. If you check then suddenly 3 other players check on you almost instantly, that means they already had their user interface set to check/fold before you made your decision. That means, they probably do not have a thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking for clues to whether someone is multi-tabling or not is also important. This guy will play plain strategy. Bet when he has something, fold on everything else. He cannot afford to credit more of his attention to any particular table, so he’ll have to play it in a simplistic manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I order to learn to play Poker properly…you’ll probably have to wait till books on this specific subject come out, or - if you cannot afford to wait - go out there and learn through trial and error.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-7595780328711549459?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/7595780328711549459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=7595780328711549459' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/7595780328711549459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/7595780328711549459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/05/thing-with-online-poker.html' title='The thing with online poker'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-6952001494728443939</id><published>2008-05-29T01:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T23:41:02.529-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fulltilt Poker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker Babes'/><title type='text'>MORE POKER BABES</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;One of the interesting craze that makes the world crazy right now is the coming into view of Poker hotties and Poker babes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;poker&lt;/a&gt; and magazines like Maxim and FHM have the same demographics, it was unavoidable that some of the women who play Poker would become sex symbols of a sort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People reading these magazines and people who are doing searches for Poker related stuffs like &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;"Poker&lt;/a&gt; hotties" and "Poker babes" on the search engines all the time are basically the people who make a demand on hot women players.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What better way to celebrate this than to have your own list of Poker hotties? Here is a list of who people think are the sexiest women in Poker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jennifer Tilly&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/172/420378380_1d6fc2292c.jpg?v=0" width="200" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have always been a big fan of voluptuous women, then Jennifer Tilly certainly qualifies. Aside from being hot, she is smart and a good Poker player too. She has recently taken a television role as some kind of bimbo that is dating Henry Winkler's character, but according to the recent article in Bluff magazine, she would rather be playing Poker than waiting for her next scene on the set.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Evelyn Ng&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/146/421897071_0644938b94.jpg?v=0" width="200" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also known as Evybabee, Evelyn is a statuesque young woman who could probably have any Poker playing man she wants. She would probably be the dream Poker playing girlfriend for any guy who likes video games, parties, and tall, thin, beautiful women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing is, Evelyn Ng is not just a Poker hottie. She's also a great Poker player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mimi Rogers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/116/270214848_618971008a.jpg?v=0" width="200" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This might be a little controversial, since Mimi Rogers is a little older than most of the women who are currently considered "Poker babes", I think she is without a doubt still one of the most attractive women in Hollywood. I think Tom Cruise should have stayed with her, but I guess he thinks he traded up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I doubt Penelope Cruz, Katie Holmes, or Nicole Kidman could hold their own at &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.texasholdempoker4u.com" title="No Limit Texas Hold'em" target="_blank"&gt;Texas Hold'em&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; table like Mimi Rogers though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Clonie Gowen&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/121/297488974_b097ab1a3b.jpg?v=0" width="200" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She lives in Dallas, Texas, but she is well-known all over the world for her Poker playing abilities. Clonie Gowen is one of the celebrity  Poker players on Team Fulltilt Poker, and she's painfully thin and blonde. Those are two traits that are very popular indeed with the readers of stuff like Maxim. She's also a good enough Poker player that I wouldn't want to go anywhere near a table she was playing at, although at Fulltilt Poker you can actually sit down and play with Clonie when she is there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/101/260852883_bbcf98ae74.jpg?v=0" width="200" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Known as "Jennicide" on  Poker Stars, Jennifer Leigh has made quite a name for herself as a law student turned Poker player. Any time she plays online now, you can pretty much count on a couple hundred guys showing up to watch her play. This is one of the most amazing phenomena in Poker as far as everyone is concerned; people showing up to watch someone play Poker online because she's attractive. I mean, how big of a turn-on could it possibly be to watch a motionless avatar play Poker? Laugh as much as you want but this is really happening right now. People drool over an avatar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there. These are some of the Poker babes Poker enthusiasts want to play with.

The white guy goes in and comes back out in a half hour and says, "Damn! I just couldn't make her scream." The black guy goes in for an hour but comes out saying, "Man, it is just not possible!" Finally the Chinese guy goes in with a smile on his face. He returns after 10 minutes and forty screams. Both the other guys say, "How in Hell did you do that?" "Me play old trick," he says, "put hot sauce on my Poker!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Playing Poker&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 12 year old boy comes home from school and walks into his parents' room. Mom and dad are in bed making love. The boy asks, "What are you doing?" His dad replies, "Playing Poker. Now get out of here." He goes to his older sister's room to find his sister and her boyfriend in bed making love. The boy asks, "What are you doing?" His sister replies, "Playing Poker. Now get out of here." He goes to his older brother's room and finds his brother masturbating. He asks his brother, "What are you doing?" His brother replies, "Playing Poker." The boy asks, "I thought that it takes two to play Poker." His brother replies, "Not if you have a good hand."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Friday Night Poker&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A regular Friday night Poker game was still going strong well after midnight when one of the players returned from the bathroom with an urgent report. "Roger, listen," he told the host, "Walter's in the kitchen making love to your wife." "OK, that's it, guys," Roger said. "This is positively the last deal."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Leprechaun&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A guy was playing 10-20 &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.texasholdempoker4u.com" title="Texas Hold'em"&gt;Hold'em&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and was stuck about 300 dollars when he looked down beside the table and saw a little green leprechaun. "Quit playing Poker forever right now and I'll give you a pot of gold worth a million dollars.", said the little fellow. The player replied, "Let me get even first."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you like it.

You won't play optimally and you will surely only lose more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fold, fold and fold again&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solid starting hand selection is where you minimise your losses and maximise your wins - long term this is more important and effective than getting a few short term lucky wins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Don't be a calling station&lt;/b&gt;-DUH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your calling bets just to stay in a hand on the off chance you'll catch a lucky card or two - you wont - yes you see it all the time but trust me it wont happen when you need it to.Generally dont call a bet unless you would have raised it. And if you'd have raised it - then 4king raise it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Adrenaline Junkies are your friend&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make money from them but don't make the mistake of becoming one - changing gears is one thing, needing a miracle is another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pure bluffs rarely work, especially online&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certainly not at lower limits - there will always be someone happy to look you up with a better hand or more outs or complete junk - SODS LAW says even they will probably out draw you - then your on tilt and thats just a world of pain waiting to happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Don't blow your Bankroll&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So your doing ok in the low stakes games - why not head up a level or two?

Dont play if your thinking more about your money than the cards in front of you. Take a break if your not playing well. Dont try to squeeze in a session - if your thinking about work / got to walk the dog / make an appointment - leave the cards for another time - youve probably just saved a load of your bankroll - just as good as a win.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-2882419553393997494?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/2882419553393997494/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=2882419553393997494' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/2882419553393997494'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/2882419553393997494'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/05/absolute-poker-rules.html' title='ABSOLUTE POKER RULES'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-1295955406010568975</id><published>2008-05-27T03:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T23:57:12.183-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='No Limit Hold&apos;em'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Limit Hold&apos;em'/><title type='text'>Are You a Good or a Great Poker Player?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/48/161643375_db05f1162b.jpg?v=0" target="blank_"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/48/161643375_db05f1162b.jpg?v=0" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it that separates a good &lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; player from a great Poker player? Well, you can find many answers to this inquiry, and without a doubt, one of the major answers you will hear is the value bet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being afraid to miss value bets is what keeps many good players from taking the next step towards becoming a great &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; player. This is really just common sense when you think about it. If you have the best possible hand, then naturally you will bet, but getting the full value out of less dominant hands is harder to do, the secret is having a healthy bank roll.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Value betting is situational like many of the more advanced concepts in Poker. You will decide how to play value bet based on the actual situation and your opponent, but even that said there are some general facts that good players know when talking about value betting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Limit &lt;a href="http://www.texasholdempoker4u.com" title=" Holdem" target="_blank"&gt;Holdem&lt;/a&gt;, for instance, you really have to be very aggressive with betting. Because the bets are bound at levels that make them so small in relation to the pot, people will often regard your value bets as extremely weak hands. The typical mindset is, most of the time, that because the bets are so small, might as well be sure the guy is not bluffing you. This is actually a fish mindset, and it is this way that you get the pot built up to pay you off when you hit that monster hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It goes without saying that value betting in &lt;a href="http://www.texasholdempoker4u.com/no-limit-holdem" title="No Limit Holdem" target="_blank"&gt;No Limit Holdem&lt;/a&gt; much trickier. First, you have to make certain on what the other player has, and then from there, you must be courageous to act on it. If you have a third pair, and you know that the player has something like A-Q and missed completely, are you willing to re-raise strong on a pair of fives? Well, putting an opponent on his cards is not only required to understand whether or not you have taken him down, it will also help you know how much you should bet by having a hand of “hidden value” such as a straight that is not obvious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to that, a value bet that is good considers what particular type of player you are up against. A regular player tends to call bets that have the same strength as his hand, meaning he won't consider a large bet with pocket threes. So if you think a player has a weak hand, make certain that the bet is not huge since you want a call. But if your opponent is a tough one, who may try reading you, then you can bet stronger and extract even more chips if not all of them out of that wrong read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think value betting is complex, then you are right. It is so complicated that it can never really be taught. &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; players learn it as they go along. They see to it that they analyze their play and other's play. As you continue to play while studying the game, you will begin to gradually know how to value bet and how to maximize your money by employing it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-1295955406010568975?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/1295955406010568975/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=1295955406010568975' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/1295955406010568975'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/1295955406010568975'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/05/are-you-good-or-great-poker-player.html' title='Are You a Good or a Great Poker Player?'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-826723142729122086</id><published>2008-05-26T05:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-11T00:00:16.019-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker Strategy'/><title type='text'>Poker Strategy: Keep It Simple</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;When starting to play &lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; you will first begin with low-limit games. Beating these games does not mean you have to become a masterful Poker player, it simply means that you have to be able to beat poor opponents. Outplaying good players at high limits can really be difficult. It requires that you know many complex moves. Winning at low limits, however, is pretty easy and straightforward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the hell am i talking about? Well, just so you know other &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; players will not mind whatever you are doing, they simply have their attention focused in their own cards. They will play their hand the way they always play their hand before, regardless of whether you or not you are in the pot. You are basically a ghost to them. Hopefully, if you are a promising player, a ghost that will take away all their money without them realizing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beating these types of players requires that you simply need to engage in a game where the play is straightforward so the possibility of winning in the long run is a sure shot. For instance, in this type of game, you have to play tight, don't do any fancy bluffs, bet aggressively when you probably have the best hand, and utilize pot odds for your drawing decisions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slowplaying works when it comes to deceiving these players. These players can be easily fooled into thinking they have the best hand when they hit a pair on the turn, so giving them a free card when you hold the stone nuts will be able to work to your advantage. In this context, bluffing is simply an exercise of futility or uselessness. These guys are dying to see if they have the best hand. They will pay to see your cards just so they can see them sometimes! Do not expect to scare any fish at lower limits with an extra $2 bet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very important to master the art of choosing starting hands, employing pot odds, and aggressively betting your winning hands. Psychological strategies, however, are generally useless. Your opponents are not thinking too deeply, and attempting any fancy plays will only hurt you, aside from the fact that you will never really know what really runs in their minds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keeping it simple, in this stage will ensure you a sure spot in the &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; community. Aside from this strategy, it will also help a lot if you join Poker Rooms and exchange ideas with your fellow players there. You can also read Poker Reviews to aid you in knowing which Poker Room will suit you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-826723142729122086?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/826723142729122086/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=826723142729122086' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/826723142729122086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/826723142729122086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/05/poker-strategy-keep-it-simple.html' title='Poker Strategy: Keep It Simple'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-6181009467935516919</id><published>2008-05-19T01:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-11T00:12:59.517-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fulltilt Poker'/><title type='text'>Full Tilt Will Make You Rich</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.texasholden-poker.com/i/bigger-full-tilt-poker.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the second largest Poker site in the United States, &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker &lt;/a&gt; enthsusiasts, will never go wrong in choosing Full Tilt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Full Tilt is a Poker site that originated in Aruba.

Poker Players can be show that they are feeling normal, happy, angtry, and confused with the use of personalized avatars.

There are seven different table themes &lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; Players can choose from. They can choose to play Poker in a vegas skyline or if they are adventurous enough and wants to be different, they can just choose an outer space theme. How cool right? I wonder when it will be possible to play Poker on the moon? *laughs. But if you are too simple for these themes, you can just choose a classic tabletop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from avatars and themes, the table windows can also be resized to either shrunk or expanded- a feature which very few Poker sites offer but one that is definitely needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lobby of this Poker site speaks of abundant information generated from each table. If Poker Players want to arrange a per cash game tables, they can do so. Cash games can be arranged or filtered by poker variant, limit type, and stakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;POKER TOURNAMENT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poker Tournament tab features a filtration system which can easily be customized. Poker Players can get very specific in saying which tournaments they wish to view. Poker Tournaments in the lobby are also labeled with icons for  rebuy, deepstack, turbo, etc. to help players in finding their ideal table easily. These icons are one of the remarkable trademark of this Poker Room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost all the poker variants available in cash-game are also available in touranments.

To each his own and no matter what your reasons are for wanting to play &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.razzpoker4u.com/" title="Razz Poker"&gt;Razz Poker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, your first step in learning the game is knowing how it's played.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Shirley Rosario, Razz is dealt in the same format as &lt;a href="http://www.studpoker4u.com/seven-card-stud-poker" title="7 card stud"&gt;7 card stud&lt;/a&gt; but instead of trying to make a 5-card high hand, players are trying to make the lowest (worst) 5-card hand possible. Straights and Flushes do not count against you and aces are always low. The lowest possible hand in Seven Card Razz is A2345, otherwise known as the wheel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stud and Razz tables are typically eight handed and the hand begins when the dealer deals the first card to the first player to the left and proceeds dealing in a clockwise motion. Three cards are dealt to start the action. The first two cards each player receives are dealt face down and the third card is dealt face up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the first three cards are dealt, the player with the bring-in starts the action. A bring-in is a forced bet and is typically half the small bet, so in a $2-4 game it would be $1. In Razz, the highest card by suit starts the action with the bring-in. This is one of the differences between Stud and Razz because in Stud it is the low card by suit that has the bring-in. Although players are forced to bring-in to start the action, they are not restricted to bet the bring-in amount. If their hand warrants and they so desire, they may bring-in for the full amount. On third and fourth street in fixed limit games, the bet is the lower limit and on later streets it is the higher amount.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the high card brings-in, then the first player to the left of him can call, complete (if it hasn't been done already), raise or fold his hand. The action continues to the left with each player acting on his/her hand. Once all players have a chance to act on their hand, the fourth card is dealt to the players who haven't folded. This next round is called "fourth street" and is almost identical to the previous round ("third street"). The difference is that there is no bring-in and the low hand is the first person to act. Rarely two players have the same low hand, but if they are tied, the first player clockwise from the dealer starts the action. Fifth and Sixth street are dealt in the same manner as third and fourth, but the amount bet is the higher limit (as mentioned above). The action concludes with the dealer dealing the seventh and final card to all players remaining in the hand. This card is dealt face down. Once again, the player with the lowest hand showing is first to act and the action continues until all players have acted on their hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When all betting has concluded, the person that made the last bet/raise will be the first person to show their cards. The person to the left of him either shows his cards or mucks (throws the hand away). The person with the best five card low hand is declared the winner and all chips are pushed in his/her direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are looking to round out your knowledge of the most popular games, especially if you have intentions of joining the “HORSE” craze, understanding and adding Razz to your Poker playing repertoire is a must. Playing a game still in its “online infancy”, most Razz practitioners in general still have a lot to learn, so join in the fun while the gettin' is good! Just make sure to read Poker Reviews so your chances in getting a win in the best Poker Rooms offering great Poker games are high.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-376087652284289982?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/376087652284289982/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=376087652284289982' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/376087652284289982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/376087652284289982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/05/do-you-know-how-to-play-razz-come.html' title='DO YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY RAZZ?

Some, like Illinois, have begun to look at online gambling as potential cures for state budget woes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Illinois is looking into legalizing online horse racing, which under federal regulation has already been permitted under the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's actually unclear whether Internet betting is illegal under Illinois law, but tracks aren't willing to press their luck because a 2000 attorney general opinion noted state law doesn't expressly authorize it, according to Ryan Keith of the Associated Press.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;California has been contemplating the legalization of &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com" title="Online Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Online Poker&lt;/a&gt;. That state has been crippled by a looming recession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A proposed initiative to create a state-owned Internet Online Poker game drew attention last August.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's silly for the state not to get into the business," said I. Nelson Rose, a professor and attorney at Whittier Law School in Costa Mesa. "Billions of dollars are being spent on the game here, and the state isn't getting one penny."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;California is the world's &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com" title="Online Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Online Poker&lt;/a&gt; capital, analysts said. The last two World Series of Online Poker champions come from that state. The government is missing out by not legalizing, regulating and taxing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Monday that California faces a budget gap that could approach $20 billion through June 2009, a dizzying projection that adds further confusion to the depth of California's financial crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Right now, we have approximately, altogether, $20 billion of deficit," the Republican governor told business leaders in Orange County. "It's going to be a big challenge."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The estimated gap for the fiscal year that begins July 1 already has prompted talk in Sacramento of tax increases and spending cuts that could hit classrooms, law enforcement and health care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new figure essentially doubles the Republican governor's deficit projection from just days ago. California's economy has been hammered by the slumping housing market, while soaring gas prices have cut into consumer spending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just last week, the governor said the state would face a potential $10 billion deficit in the next fiscal year. His spokesman, Matt David, said Schwarzenegger misspoke at that time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schwarzenegger has yet to discuss the option of legalized online gambling, though a few of his Republican colleagues have been actively promoting the option in recent weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul wants current Federal legislature prohibiting most forms of Internet gambling reversed including Online &lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul spoke at a fundraising event for Republican New Jersey Senatorial candidate Murray Sabin.  Both men understand the amount of funds that can be generated from a legalized online gambling industry.  Sabin could introduce state legislation that would regulate the activity in New Jersey should he be elected.  New Jersey is yet another state that is perilously coming close to running out of money and would benefit enormously from the billion dollar i-Gaming industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Sabin told Gambling911.com last week "When I take my place in the Senate, I will say NO to draconian laws that infringe upon the freedom of Americans to spend their own hard-earned money where they see fit! Enjoying a wager and participating in online gaming should not be banned. And those who provide sites that entertain and provide services to online gamers should not be treated as criminals."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-7503969892796560990?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/7503969892796560990/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=7503969892796560990' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/7503969892796560990'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/7503969892796560990'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/05/online-poker-solution-to-state-budget.html' title='Online Poker Solution to State Budget Woes'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-3319023821169301210</id><published>2008-05-17T00:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-11T00:42:08.813-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker Strategy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker Tips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stud Poker'/><title type='text'>POKER STRATEGY FORUMS</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.well.com/user/sssa/images/forum.gif" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.well.com/user/sssa/images/forum.gif" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.well.com/user/sssa/images/forum.gif" width="250" align="right" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't you know that by being active in a Poker Forum, you are improving your Online &lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; strategy? Well, now you that you know there won't be any reason for you not to win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many &lt;a href="http://www.top10pokerbonuses.com/" title="Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; players, especially those who are just starting to know what Online Poker can offer, do not know that Poker Forums are home to a treasure trove of Poker strategies related information. Poker Forums allow you to speak your mind and exchange ideas with fellow Online Poker enthusiasts. Some of the best Poker Forums, usually have discussions about Poker math topics like EV (Expected Value), calculating outs, and pot odds and the difference between implied odds and reverse implied odds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To maximize the benefits of &lt;a href="http://www.onlinepokerroomrankings.com/" title="Poker Forum" target="_blank"&gt;Poker&lt;/a&gt; Forums, given the fact that you are already a member, you should be willing to share some of your ideas, &lt;a href="http://pokerstrategy4all.com/" title="Poker Strategy" target="_blank"&gt;Poker strategies&lt;/a&gt;, and Poker tips to other members. If you give quality advices, expect that other members will also share some of their best Online Poker practices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, if there is a great article written on how to play &lt;a href="http://www.studpoker4u.com/seven-card-stud-poker" title="7 card stud"&gt;7 card stud&lt;/a&gt; this would be a great topic to share in a Poker Forum because it is very topic specific and provides clear, solid advice that most beginning to intermediate Poker players would find very beneficial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, for the nth time, the higher uality advice you give, the more likely other members are to provide quality poker advice also. That is the secret everyone wants to know instead of throwing huge dollars on a private Poker coach, or losing a massive amount of hard earned cash jsut because you think that experimenting with new plays and ideas will make you a pro. You do not need to waste away more money. You can learn from the mistakes of others and also from their successes and from there you will enhance your skill and hopefully win the money that you truly deserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PokerStrategyForums.com is among the favorites of many Online Poker enthusiasts. The forum has a very Web 2.0 look and feel, the members are friendly, the forum is moderated, meaning spammy posts and rude members are not tolerated, and best of all it is run by experienced professional Online Poker players who provide high quality advice to improve your Online Poker gaming experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some Poker Forums  have also partnered with some of the best web sites on the net to provide you with other Online Poker related information like Poker Reviews, Poker Rooms and updates on High Stakes Poker players who are winning or losing hundred thousand dollars on any given day playing just by playing Online Poker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poker Forums, are just there to guide you. Even if you have the best resources an Online Poker player can have, but you if lack the focus and the determination to seize what you know is yours then maybe, you really deserve to lose. But for those few who really have the drive to win, not only money is waiting for them, but also the glorious feeling of being celebrated because their efforts have finally paid off.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2166999034354271211-3319023821169301210?l=pokerisgold.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/feeds/3319023821169301210/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2166999034354271211&amp;postID=3319023821169301210' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/3319023821169301210'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2166999034354271211/posts/default/3319023821169301210'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pokerisgold.blogspot.com/2008/05/poker-strategy-forums.html' title='POKER STRATEGY FORUMS'/><author><name>Pokeraddict</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166999034354271211.post-340014060449179789</id><published>2008-05-11T04:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-11T00:50:51.421-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Poker Resource'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Virgin Poker'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Omaha Poker'/><title type='text'>Online Poker Resource I Trust</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Are you having a hard time finding a reliable website for your &lt;a href="http://www.best-poker-site-reviews.com/" title="Online Poker" target="_blank"&gt;Online Poker&lt;/a&gt; needs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, search no more because BEST-POKER-WEBSITE-REVIEWS is here.

The only thing i don't like about Poker Tournaments and Virgin Poker is that it supports only one currency hence non-english people are not welcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Since 2005 Virgin poker has steadily made its way up the ladder to become one of the most popular poker sites on the net. It is remarkably user friendly, with straightforward menu options, fast and easy download and simple, yet, effective graphics," said Caroline who is a Virgin Poker lover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;CD POKER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ranking next to Virgin Poker is CD Poker which was created in 2003. If you are part of the i-poker network, CD Poker is definitely for you. You will be able to play jackpot sit and get tournament while a player can win huge amount of money only if he will have successive wins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only drawback i can see in CD Poker is the few players from United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Omaha POKER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.omahapoker4u.com" target="_blank" Title="Omaha Poker"&gt;Omaha Poker&lt;/a&gt; equals real advantages. Thanks to this website, i found a Poker Room that is super user friendly. Well known to amateur players, Omaha Poker games tend to be loose. There are more low micro stakes than huge stakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experienced players have the advantage in Omaha Poker because it is the place where they can eat less experienced ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there.
