When you get off work at the last part of the afternoon and end up in the kitchen with an idea of what to cook, go with the seared scallops. They are so tasty. The amount of protein there is enough to keep your body nice and strong and the fat levels are very low, it is basically a perfect food. To flavor it up you can add some bacon, onion, garlic, spinach, and beans. First cook the bacon until it gets crispy. Get rid of the fat in the pan and then put the onion, garlic, and spinach in there. Cook them until they are fully cooked and set to the side. Now put some butter in the pan and then go ahead and put the scallops in the pan and sprinkle salt and pepper. Don’t over cook them or they will become chewy in texture. Get the beans ready next to the pan. On a plate put the scallops down and on the side put the spinach and beans. This is a low carbohydrate meal that is amazing in taste. It will go perfect if you are weight training and doing therapy for your back pain. The healthy food helps keep the body full of energy and the cells strong.

So you have the chips, the cards, the snacks, and the poker table. You have everything ready for your home poker tournament right? Wrong. While you may have set up all of the physical attributes of a good game among friends, you still need to figure out the details of the game itself. While it may seem like a pretty basic fact, choosing your poker game is actually the biggest part of your home poker tournament. How are you supposed to know what game to pick when it is your night to host? The game that you choose for your hoem poker tournament makes a big difference. If this is your first time hosting a hoem tournament, I would strongly suggest that you stick to Texas Holdem. While this is not necessarily he most cutting edge game, everyone at least knows how to play. You won’t find yourself in the uncomfortable position of having players at the table who don’t know yoru chosen variety. After the first tournament you can branch out other games if you like beause you will already know the skill set of your fellow players. My tip to you: start with Texas Holdem for your first home poker tournament.

In Some Online Poker Legalization News
Friday March 05th 2010, 11:16 am
Filed under: Fun Stuff, Online Casino

In some poker online legalization news, I recently read that the British government is proposing a new licensing regime for offshore bookies, according to a report in The Guardian newspaper.

The racing industry has long expresssed concern about the financial effect on racing of companies moving offshore and with recent match fixing, betting pattern scandals the government appears to be responding, The Guardian reported.

At issue is how to get offshore bookies to provide information on suspicious betting patterns and also how to have them contribute towards the cost of regulation, the Guardian report said.

As soon as companies move offshore they no longer pay the statutory racing levy. Under a new system they’d have to be licensed in the UK, the report explained.

Even though this mostly pertains to online betting on horse racing, the similarities to online poker are very similar. Many online poker sites are based in offshore locations, so as not to fall under the jurisdictions and laws of individual countries. I have long argued that instead of trying to prosecute these companies, governments should just regulate them and make it legal for its citizens to play online gaming. The battle is making people understand that poker is a game of skill and not a game of luck.

In this part of your student poker online training, we’ll be talking about rounding out all of your poker online games. Sure you may have Texas Hold ‘Em locked down, but what if you get invited into a poker game of PL Omaha or 7-Stud with a bunch of fish business men, and you don’t know how to play well? Well you’d be losing a lot of expected value (-EV). So this is just a reminder to learn all the games. Just about every site out there has play or practice money, so why not hit up some of these practice money games and start to learn how to play them well. You don’t have to master them, just learn to play them well enough to get by if you’re invited into a fish barrel and want to be the shark at the table. See it’s not enough to just know Hold ‘Em and nothing else. Everybody is getting on the hold’em train. And it’s not just enough in Hold ‘Em to know ring game play, as tournaments and SnGs are all part of the money to be made out there as well. So once you’ve started your mastery of a certain game, you need to move on and learn all the forms of poker. This way, when you do get that opportunity to take some money from some fish, you’ll be more than prepared. Remember, not just hold ‘em, but all forms of poker are games of people played with cards. So get yourself ready for that next HOSE or HORSE tournament, and make yourself some money, since when you’re jumping into these you will know how to play and play well.

Railbirding
Monday February 22nd 2010, 11:10 am

Reading about poker online is good. Going to the forums, watching the videos where everything is explained to you, and reading the books put out by the top pros in the industry are all excellent ways to improve your poker game. But there’s another little thing you can do that is oft overlooked and almost invaluable at the same time.

It’s called railbirding. A railbird is one who watches from the sidelines. And at first you may think, “Why would I ever want to just watch from the sidelines?” And it’s understandable that you’d want to be in on the action. But think of poker just like any other sport. In football, the teams get scouting reports, watch films, and adjust their strategy to the optimal counter strategy to beat the other team.

Why would one not do the same in poker?

There are two ways one can railbird. First, if you’re thinking about moving up in stakes yourself, you can take a few days to sit and watch the play at those tables. You’ll pick up on some of the differences that go on at that level of play and you’ll also be more comfortable and know what to expect when you finally take the plunge and sit down for the first time at your new limit.

The second and probably more important railbirding strategy is to hit the nosebleed tables. Watch the top of the online poker players play their game. See if you can dissect why they do what they do and how they do it. A lot of getting good at poker is emulating success. And who’s more successful than those at the top? If and when you can start to recognize their play, then you’ll be more than ready to start smashing the smaller stakes.

When Can I Use the Bathroom?
Wednesday February 17th 2010, 10:10 am
Filed under: Fun Stuff, Online Casino

Playing long poker tournaments requires a lot of sitting and a lot of staring. Even when you are not in a hand yourself, you must be available at the table for the dealing of future hands, for your blinds, and for getting information on the other players. Outside concerns such as eating and going to the bathroom then become blockades to the game itself, which to some extent can be manipulated in cash games, but in tournaments become more difficult to swing.

So when is a good time to go to the bathroom during a long poker tournament? Of course there are the break periods, though often nature calls outside of these confined spots. Certainly you don’t want to go when your blinds are near to coming, but you also don’t want to miss the great advantage of acting on the button and in other late spots in the hand.

So if you have to miss hands it is probably better to get up when you are near the late middle position, where you have a few hands to miss before your blinds come, is probably the best spot if you aren’t going to be gone too, too long. Otherwise, you’ll just have to chalk it up to biology. Keep this in mind when you play poker online.

Centerpieces
Tuesday February 02nd 2010, 9:32 am
Filed under: Fun Stuff, Recreation Stuff

Whether you are having a holiday or birthday party, a wedding or baby shower, or a lovely holiday dinner, you cannot underestimate the importance of centerpieces as a part of your table decorations. They can really make the table setting, plus they will make the occasion that much more special.

To start with, let’s discuss a little bit about holiday centerpieces. For starters, you can buy these just about anywhere - or you can make them yourself! However, there are a few things that can make or break a really good holiday centerpiece and besides, you should always strive to make your table setting original. Think about Thanksgiving. You need more than just a few pilgrim and pumpkin candles and some flowers. What about a centerpiece that centers around cinnamon sticks? You could wax a few apples, oranges, or pomegranates yourself, for instance, find a few autumnal colored bows, perhaps add in some beautiful fall leaves, and voila! The perfect centerpiece - and it’s unique to boot!

How about Christmas? Well, to begin with, why not put some of those leftover decorations to good use? For example, you could purchase a miniature, table sized, artificial Christmas tree - or even just some pine boughs, for an altogether more elegant look. You can go crazy with Christmas centerpieces. What about taking a properly themed candle - perhaps a red one, with an apple cinnamon scent - and sitting it smack in the middle of your table? Boring in and of itself, but you can arrange the boughs around them, twine some leftover tinsel around the spines, and even add in some ornamental balls.

Of course, holidays are not the only times these decorations are necessary. Wedding centerpieces are often the highlight of the reception, and they are something special guests can take home with them to remember the occasion. Here, your choices are just as limitless. Usually, brides decide to have these made or bought specially. So, whether you want roses, candles, or other traditional items is entirely up to you. Consider this though: it is always best to choose colors that correspond with the wedding colors.

Game Softness

There’s a lot of different types of poker online games when playing Hold ‘EM as far as difficulty goes. Think of it as a video game, where there are different settings for difficulty such as easy, medium, hard, and insane. Here are a few pointers on how to find the better poker online games when looking through. And easier game will have a lot of players who call a lot. These players live to call, and fold to a raise. So in order to find these type of players, you should look at the stats in the lobby that say percentage of players to the flop. This will give you an idea of the looseness of the players, and thus the difficulty. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a challenge, you want to search out the TAG players, and sometimes this can be more profitable than playing the loose donks and calling stations. Because, just since a player is a TAG doesn’t mean they’re a strong TAG player. A lot of these TAG players at lower levels will be tight but weak. Meaning that if you three bet them a lot or if you keep the pressure on them while your in position (double barreling, floating etc.) you’ll be able to pick up a lot of dead money from the ABC players that you’ll be playing just a level ahead of. Just my 2 cents on the issue of game selection if you’re looking for a soft poker online game.

Chasing with Overcards
Wednesday August 12th 2009, 9:33 am
Filed under: Fun Stuff, Online Casino

It’s never a very pretty sightyou have two big poker online cards in your hand, say King/Queen suited or Ace Jack unsuited, and the flop comes down all rags. 4, 5, 8 or thereabouts. For some players it can be tempting, especially in the face of very small bets, to continue to try to draw in the online poker hand, figuring that if the turn or the river brings one of your overcards, you will win the pot. Some players will call even larger sized raises trying to hit one of those six cards that might come against the odds and give them top pair. The thing about drawing with overcards, though, is that you never know, when you do hit your draws, whether or not you actually helped yourself or hurt yourself by picking up a pair on the turn or river. Many times improving your casino hand in these kinds of spots can lead to you valuing your hand just enough to put more in when your opponent, who has slowplayed (or regularly bet) a set, two pair, or bigger pairs like pocket aces. You could just be asking to get your whole bank roll taken from you. Drawing against the odds to try to hit a hand that’s not the nuts, and might not even be good against a wide range of holdings, is often asking for trouble. Though sometimes it may work, and may even turn out to be the best hand unimproved, speculating too often in such a way is bound to in the long run get your broke.
