Early Position

• June 23rd, 2010

As anybody knows, poker online games are about position. The value of your hands and your options with those hands vary as your position in relation to the dealer and the players around you varies. A hand that’s unplayable from one position can be a winner from another. Here’s a quick look at the advantages and disadvantage of being the early position at a poker online table.

You’re at a bit of a disadvantage, unless you’ve got a monster hand. You don’t have any idea what your opponents are going to do, so any move you’ll make, you’ll be making blind. If you don’t have the cards to work with, it’s a good idea to fold the hand. If, on the other hand, you’ve got something that you can work with, like pocket faces or Ace-King suited, then you’re in a pretty good spot to trap your opponents.

A few checks and understated calls from an early position can allow you to stay under the radar when you have a strong hand. If you act meek in the early position, your opponents in the later position will likely bee jockeying to buy up the pot, and you can usually simply call their raises until they’re pot-commited, at which point you can shut the trap by pushing them all in. Try it at your next poker online game.

Keep Your Eyes on Your Cards

• May 21st, 2010

Keep Your Eyes On Your Cards Have you ever watched a group of men at the poker tables at Las Vegas as the pretty little cocktail waitress walks by? Their eyes practically pop out of their sockets, they start to drool, and I am pretty sure that they are thinking about a very different kind of pair than the one they have in their hands. I love it when this happens. I love when the men get distracted because I know that they are not thinking about the cards when they are thinking about the cocktail waitress. When they get distracted, I have a better chance of winning. If you want to be a good poker online player, you need to keep your eyes on your cards. Don’t let them roam to the pretty cocktail waitress or the attractive lady sitting next to you. These are visual traps designed to pull your attention away from the game. Don’t let them get the better of you. Keep your eyes on your cards if you want to win and focus all of your energy on making the best possible combinations. Do this enough times, and you will be able to enjoy the cocktail waitress like I do: not as eye candy but as a beautiful distraction for the other poker online players.

Poker as Olympic Event

• May 7th, 2010

Every so often, especially when the Olympics are coming around again as they have been this year, 2010, you begin to hear the argument once again that poker is a sport, and therefore should be included on the roster. As a table mate of mine once said, “If you can drink a beer while doing it, and still do it well, it’s not a sport.” I tend to agree with that. Though poker surely requires necessary skill sets in competition, the anti-physical nature of it, paired with the element of chance being higher than in other events, make the concept of poker as an Olympic event pretty much a joke. If poker were to become an Olympic event, that opens the door for so much more. What about chess? Checkers? What about Monopoly or Risk? All of these games require some strategy (some more than others) and some luck. If poker gets let in, arguably they all do. And so we stick with the idea that physical prowess and extreme focus in skill is a criterion to event making. And maybe it’s better off that way. I personally like thinking of poker in a wholly different realm of competition, where brains and money pair up to create a new kind of event.

Wedding Players: Five Tips before You Book

• February 6th, 2010

Arrangements for live wedding music is just one of about a millionprojects facing brides and grooms and wedding planners. Between flowers, photos, locales, dresses, parties, rings, video recording, and more, even a tiny and quiet wedding demands a great amount of preparation. It can be a stressful time because if even one of these areas falls through the cracks, your big day can end up being a big disappointment.

Here are five tips to hiring live wedding instrumentalists for your service and reception:

1. Make sure you hire a band with a tested track record of professionalism. Does the manager return your telephone calls promptly? Does the band have a internet site? Business cards? Other marketing materials? Or do you get the impression you’re speaking to a guy practicing in his garage with his pals? The way the band shows itself as you begin talking with them is a great indicator of how they’ll turn up (or not!) on your special day.

2. Promptness is key. When you set an date to connect in person or on the phone, it’s like a mini-contract. If the band director is tardy to meet with you, it’s a discouraging sign that they don’t take their agreements seriously. If they can’t come through on time in the preparation stage, what other understandings will they fail with you on your wedding day? This carries on to you, too – being punctual is just one way you can live a life that shows that you honor your promises.

3. Make certain the dance band is easy-going rather than being a bunch of divas. By now you’ve probably heard a million Bridezilla jokes, even if you’re not hard to please or unreasonable. Imagine renting the equivalent in flakiness for your wedding dance band. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to have to wait on your musicians hand and foot, fetching them food and beverage, having the thermostat adjusted for them, or catering to other hard to please wants. The greatest band for you is one that can take care of itself, one that’s easy to get along with, and one that does all it can to make sure your day is easy and fun for you.

4. Charter a wedding band that’s fun. Getting hitched is one of the biggest choices you’ll ever make. It’s important business. The music on your wedding day should be splendid and fun. You don’t want to see your invitees oblivious, listless, and wishing the day was over. You want them up, dancing, singing, and grinning. If you choose a live wedding music band well, your selection will do much to make your wedding day unforgettable in a great way. This is the big day you’ve been waiting for, and music is such a important part of it. Make sure you engage a musician that makes the day ideal – gratifying for you and your guests.

Will Average Poker Playing Get Casino Comps?

• January 21st, 2010

The biggest draw of playing poker in a brick and mortar casino is the casino comps. It is basically free money that a frequent player can earn by using their player account whenever they plug into their machine. Many of the players who hold casino accounts are video poker players, who use the game to earn points to their account. These accounts can then be exchanged for free perks from the casino, like complimentary rooms at the hotel, or discounts at the food court.

In theory, the amount of points you earn on your player account is linked to the amount of money you spend at the table. However, this does not hold true for video poker. Video poker has a lower house edge than other casino games, so the casino will seek those few points out to you very slowly. The video poker players who get the good comps are either really good players who funnel a lot of money into the casino, or really bad players who don’t take anything out. The average player is left out in the cod.

If you are a decidedly average online poker player, you need to wrap your head around the idea that you will not get a high amount of casino comps. Console yourself with the idea that you can walk away with money from the pot, which is way better than a discount on the buffet anyway. Remember this when you play poker online.
