Slot Online POKER ROOM 

by Amy Wester on
Slot Online

The first time I played casino poker against live opponents for real money, they went through me like a freight train through the wind. The next time wasn’t much better: I felt like a rag doll in a dog’s mouth. But the third time I played in a public card room, I finally found my feet. With a little bit of confidence and a little bit of luck, I was able to walk away from the game with a few more beans than I had when I began.

That’s called education.

And education isn’t free.

But it’s close. In the poker world, at least, it’s pretty darn close indeed these days.

When I started out in public card Slot Online rooms, there were no computer simulations to help me learn how to play. Heck, there were barely computers. Needless to say, the internet and all its wondrous resources were still a gleam in some geeks’ eyes. Even poker books (good, simple, useful ones at least) were few and far between. Nor could I turn to magazines like this one to fill in the blanks. I had to learn as I went along.

But it’s a new age now, and you don’t have to struggle like that. If you’re interested in casino poker, you can learn everything you need to know, and play hundreds of hours in simulated games, before you ever take a seat in a real cardroom against live opponents. What follows is a list of some sources you can turn to for more information about how to play poker, how to play it well, and how to get the most out of your poker playing experience.

First, the books. Since most casinos offer seven-card stud as their least expensive (and thus entry-level) game, I recommend George Percy’s Seven …

Believe it UFAor Not

A few days ago, after I had finished playing a tournament, I decided it was time to write a column that I had been thinking about for awhile. I thought I should do it while it was still fresh on my mind, and I hurried home and tried to knock out this new column. I had been toying with the idea of doing it, but I wanted to wait a certain length of time just in case, on reflection, I might think it was stupid.

Today’s experience at the club reinforced my need to do this column. I’m not going to say anything that will change the poker world. All I will do, hopefully, is to get something off my chest.

It has become one of my pet peeves in the poker world when certain words are used that I do not think are applicable. I also do not think these certain words are very accurate. The certain words that I am referring to are “amazing” and “unbelievable.”

Today while I was playing, I must have heard those words a hundred times. It seemed every time someone got a hand beat, it was either “amazing!” or “unbelievable!”. Maybe It’s just me, but when I think of the definition of “unbelievable,” I think of something like Charlton Heston parting the Red Sea. “Amazing” would be like sending a rocket with 3 men on board 240,000 or so miles to the moon, and have them get off the rocket, walk around and then have them come back to Earth.

I decided I should call Ripley’s Believe It or Not, because they are experts in the “amazing and unbelievable.” If I could get them to come and monitor a poker game in one of the clubs for a couple of …

Outplaying a Swinger in Sbobet88

by Amy Wester on
Sbobet88

Last time I discussed how I think the pot should be split in a high-low declare game when the player who declares both ways (that is, the swing hand) loses. I said that the pot should be split between the remaining highest and lowest hand. I feel that this rewards players for cleverly being aware of situations in which a player who ought not to be declaring high-low does so anyway. I feel also that a player should not walk into the whole pot just because he happens to hold the hand that beats the high-low hand for one way only; there’s no skill in that: it’s just luck. The skill is being aware of situations that might not otherwise come up.

An example makes this clearer. I was playing in a small-limit home game of dealer’s choice in which the rule was as I have described: If you declared both ways, you must clearly win both ways, otherwise you lost all claim to any part of the pot. If the high-low hand lost or tied either high or low, that was it; that hand was then out of contention for any portion of the pot. If the high-low hand was so eliminated, the pot was then split between the remaining highest and lowest hand. On rare occasions, a situation arose permitting a player to take advantage of the rule, and win part or even all of a pot with a hand that was not the best for the direction it had declared.

On my deal, I usually called high-low draw, two draws, with a bet after the declare. Most of the other players called various forms of high-low stud, because of the multiple rounds of betting, and refrained from variations of draw, because draw usually has only two rounds …

The Bad Girl of Poker

by Amy Wester on
Situs Poker Online 2021

A 7 had come on the river and poker pro Dave Colclough had just been check-raised for all of his chips. Considering how large the bet was that Dave had popped out on the end and how early in the tournament it was, you had to consider he had a very good hand. There were no straights on the board and no flushes available, and Dave stared and stared at his cards and his opponent for what seemed like ages before sighing, calling, and flipping over his pocket pair of fives to reveal a set, three of a kind. But it wasn’t good enough, because his opponent, staring from the No. 8 seat impassively with dark shades and straight black hair, flipped over her pocket sevens and raked a pot large enough to knock Colclough straight out of the Copenhagen EPT tournament only 10 minutes after it had begun. Score another one for “Bad Girl,” poker champion Xuyen Pham.

 

“I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I FOLDED STRAIGHTS AND FLUSHES RIGHT AWAY.”

I caught up with Xuyen (pronounced S-Wen) later that month by telephone, but even that was a tough call, as my first few attempts had found her on a heavy schedule of multiple Internet tournaments and live poker action. Xuyen likes to play, and with the way things have been going, who can blame her? Xuyen has been gathering tournament results in the UK for a few years now, but it was at the World Poker Championships in Dublin last year that she announced her power in a big way, tearing through a field of the top players in the world to pick up first place and a quarter of a million Euros. That’s not bad for someone who had never played poker before leaving her native …

Real Madrid are said to be on the verge of sealing a £28 million deal for Juventus attacker Arturo Vidal, fresh from his Copa America win with Chile.

 

Real are also said to be tussling with Monaco for the signature of Juve’s Spanish striker Fernando Llorente.

 

Arda Turan was all set to swap Atletico Madrid for Barcelona but FCB’s board have kaiboshed the deal until a new club president is elected on the 18th of July. The Turk’s transfer fee is set to be between €35 and €41 million. Barça’s transfer ban expires in January.

 

Late in the week it was reported Arsenal were willing to recruit Turan in exchange for Spanish international Santi Cazorla and an unspecified fee.

 

The 28 year-old has been linked with Chelsea, Manchester United and PSG as well recently. Blues striker Diego Costa said it would be Qiu Qiu Online great to link up with his former Colchoneros teammate at Stamford Bridge.

Unpredictable City flying under the radar of Judi Bola Online24Jam Terpercaya

by Amy Wester on
Judi Bola Online24Jam Terpercaya

Based on their unpredictable form since Manuel Pellegrini took charge at the Etihad, only Manchester City could beat the reigning European champions on their own ground and then still only make headlines for failing to win the game 4-2 rather than 3-2.

 

Allianz Arena, Munich

 

You just never know quite what to expect from this current Manchester City side, whose progression under Pellegrini this season has been sufficiently inconsistent that few commentators have marked them out as potential Premier League champions let alone Champions League destroyers.

 

That inconsistency was laid bare again last night in the space of 90 minutes against a Bayern side that was aiming to win its 10th straight Champions League Judi Bola Online24Jam Terpercaya match.

 

A second string City XI was torn apart multiple times in the opening 20 minutes, and fell behind to goals from Thomas Muller and Mario Gotze before striking back in the most unexpected manner through David Silva, Aleksandar Kolarov and James Milner.

 

As if to underline City’s capriciousness, Milner’s man-of-the-display was in stark contrast to his past 18 months of gradual slipping down the pecking order for club and country, with the former Aston Villa midfielder winning the penalty converted by Kolarov and striking the decisive winner.

 

Etihad Stadium.

 

Contextualising the performance and the result by a City side missing the likes of captain Vincent Kompany, Yaya Toure, Sergio Agüero and Alvaro Negredo, especially on the back being outclassed by Bayern in Manchester earlier in the group phase, is bordering on impossible.

 

Throw in the fact that Pellegrini’s side have already lost four times on the road against Premier League sides this season – at Cardiff, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Sunderland – and the conundrum is complete.

 

Of course, City’s unpredictability has …

Standard Qiu Qiu Liege on top 25 years later

by Amy Wester on
Qiu Qiu

 

 

An old glory of Belgian soccer, Standard Liege, have finally managed to win the domestic championship, their first in a quarter of the century and indeed the first piece of silverware after 15 years.

It has taken a truly remarkable display throughout the season for Standard to emerge on top: a 31-game unbeaten run, which has culminated with a 2-0 win over archrivals Anderlecht in the decisive match.

This is the ninth League title for Qiu Qiu Standard, who also won five Belgian cups and played in the 1982 Cup Winners’ Cup against Barcelona at Camp Nou back then in the times of Arie Haan, Benny Wendt and Simon Tahamata.

 

PSV make it four in a row

 

In neighbouring Netherlands, PSV have not had a shortage of trophies over the past decades. The Eindhoven team have snatched their fourth consecutive title, the 21st in their history, by winning 1-0 at Vitesse. PSV needed just a draw in their last game to stay ahead of Ajax, who demolished Heracles by 5-1 in hope their rivals would trip up in Arnhem.

The provincials have dominated the Dutch scene in the past nine seasons, winning seven titles and leaving just two to Ajax. Their successes include eight Dutch cups, seven Supercups, one Champions Cup and one UEFA Cup.

 

Olympiacos continue to frustrate rivals

 

Even more prominent than PSV’s dominance in the Netherlands is Olympiacos’ rule in Greece, as the red and whites have just added a 36th league title to their trophy room at the end of an emotional season that saw them shrug off a serious challenge from AEK Athens.

The crucial win for the Children of Piraeus came on the last day at home against Iraklis, well beaten by 3-1, only two weeks after Olympiacos …

Big Sam Eyes Ecuador Star for Togel Hongkong

by Amy Wester on

 

 

 

Sam Allardyce has been criticised for his supposed negative brand of football at Upton Park, with many supporters complaining about a lack of flair and goals. He has already added Mauro Zarate to his squad this summer and his search for another goal threat has led him to another South American.

 

The Daily Star are reporting that West Ham are in for £12 million-rated Ecuador star Enner Valencia. Valencia has performed admirably in Brazil, scoring three goals during the group stages and establishing himself as one of the top players for his country. He also scored 18 goals in 23 appearances for Pachuca last season, proving that he knows his way to goal.

 

Valencia is expected to cost around £12 million, a kind of fee West Ham have only been too happy to throw around recently. Valencia would offer the Hammers something different upfront; his pace and purposeful dribbling would prove a nightmare for Premier League defenders. He may not be huge in size but he certainly makes up for it with his composure in front of goal. He has proven he can perform under pressure and he would certainly face a large amount of that at Upton Park if West Ham were to continue with their negative performances.

 

At £12 million Valencia is a huge gamble, with only a solid season in Mexico and a fantastic World Cup under his belt. The Ecuadorian seems to be going from strength to strength though and he could prove to be the buy of the season if his development continues.

Crypto Broker Voyager Digital Listings on Canada’s TSX Venture Exchange | Shelter Crypto | Shelter Humanity | Charity Token Homeless | Charity Coin

Voyager Digital Ltd, a Canadian crypto asset broker, has begun trading its shares on Toronto Ventures Exchange (TSX.V). Through a reverse takeover, UC Resources, a mineral exploration company, the company was listed. Voyager believes that public listing will improve transparency in crypto markets and promote adoption. Traditional investors can access digital assets via the public equity market, Voyager claims.

“Listing will Boost Transparency, Crypto Adoption”

 

Voyager shares will trade under the ticker symbol “VYGR.V”. In a blog post, Stephen Ehrlich, chief executive of Voyager, stated that reverse takeovers are becoming a more popular business strategy for many new companies. However, the idea of a young company going publicly may seem unusual.

 

The choice was a good one for us. Voyager was able to increase transparency in our business and maturity in the crypto market. Voyager also had the opportunity to offer the public the opportunity to invest through the traditional market in a crypto trading company.

 

Reverse takeovers allow private companies to avoid the regulatory oversight and high costs of going public via an initial public offer. This makes them more attractive for startups looking to get around bureaucratic red tape.

 

Voyager, Charity Token Homeless recently announced that it has completed its tie-up to UC Resources. UC Resources is a publicly traded company on Canada’s NEX Exchange. Voyager is now public due to the merger which, in effect, is a takeover by UC Resources’ major shareholding. The merger allows Voyager to become a Tier 2 company on the TSX Ventures exchange.

 

Solid Capital Base for Company Growth

 

Ehrlich explained that the stock market listing legally obligates the broker disclosure of quarterly and annual reports. Voyager will be required …
