The Silver Bot

I got to sit against a few poker rookies at a game last weekend. Rookies have beaten me on long shots before, and I used to hate playing poker online against them. However, in the years since I started playing online poker , I’ve learned that new players generally fall into two categories-those that just want to play, and those that don’t want to play at all. Once you find out which one of these types you’re playing with, then you can take them for all their chips, and teach them a valuable lesson on the game of poker. I just happened to be sitting to the right of both of them, and I quickly found that I as playing against one of each type of rookie. The girl next to me didn’t want to risk any of her chips, and the guy next to her was unwilling to fold his hands. Once I realized this, it was just a matter of time before I absorbed their chip stacks. For the girl, I kept raising pre-flop to her and buying up her blinds until she didn’t have an effective stack, and as soon as I got a good hand (a set of Jacks on the flop), I raised after each reveal, and the new guy called each time. After the river, I put him all in, and he called with an Ace high.

Poker was never originally conceived of as a quick game. The way that it was taught to me poker is a slow game full of silent contemplation. Every player should take all the time they need to examine their cards and plan their next move. The modern tournament culture has changed all of that. People need to make decisions quickly because they need to progress to the next stage. At the height of this obsession with speed is the sit and go tournament. These tournaments consist of a single table where the players engage in a kind of sudden death poker that keeps going on until one player has all the chips.

As if this was not ruthless enough, a new invention called turbo sit and go has just hit the poker online world. What makes a sit and go officially “turbo” is the blinds structure. If the blinds move up rapidly, it’s considered to be a turbo version of the already quick sit and go. Turbo sit and go tournaments are available all over the internet and are especially popular with casinos that offer multi table sit and go tournaments. Turbo tournaments take poker to new speeds, and we will have to wait and see what it does to the old fashioned game.

poker players must learn to be selective about which poker online hands they play. Many experts divide the possible poker hands into specific rankings regarding their potential to win.

It is not only the cards and their strength that count in poker hand selection, but also one’s position in the betting order. The earlier you are in the betting round, the more risk you assume with every hand you play since there are several players betting behind you and have no information about their hands.

Here are some simple hand classifications from poker experts David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth: (o - off suit, s = suited) Group 1: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AKs Group 2: TT, AQs, AJs, KQs, AKo Group 3: 99, JTs, QJs, KJs, ATs, AQo Group 4: T9s, KQo, 88, QTs, 98s, J9s, AJo, KTs Group 5: 77, 87s, Q9s, T8s, KJo, QJo, JTo, 76s, 97s, Axs Group 6: 66, ATo, 55, 86s, KTo, QTo, 54s, K9s, J8s, 75s Group 7: 44, J9o, 64s, T9o, 53s, 33, 98o, 43s, 22, Kxs, T7s, Q8s Group 8: 87o, A9o, Q9o, 76o, 42s, 32s, 96s, 85s, J8o, J7s, 65o, 54o, 74s, K9o, T8o

Of the groups above, you can play the first three groups of hand from early position. The middle groups can be played from middle position if no raise has come out ahead of you. The bottom two groups can only be played from late position when there has not been a raise.

I regularly hear from an occasional bowler willing to play real bowling with improved precision and consistency. When bowling is your goal, you’re approaching a important cross-roads in your development as a serious bowling competitor. Our guide to A Bowler’s Development shouldn’t be ignored. An expert at a nearby bowling pro shop are there to assist bowlers develop bowling skills. We like to say, the bowling balls do all the work (after you roll them). That’s a joke. I admit, bowling is a simple game with not-so simple details. No worry, our bowling experts get you rolling your way.

First, invest a little in custom fit a personalized bowling ball, which will do wonders! Fit is important. I promise, get your personal ball drilled for custom finger holes, and you’ll never go back. A properly selected bowling ball can make a substantial improvement in your game. Of course another critical matter is sliding out your final step in well-made bowling shoes that have shoe laces!

If you went ahead and purchased the right bowling ball and shoes, listen to the second best bowling tip: aiming the ball. If you hold the ball, don’t actually aim for the back of the lane. Use the points about 15 feet down the lane, like a sight on a firearm. Some greenhorn bowlers don’t even know they’re there. It’s less difficult to hit a an aid marker that rests nearer. To take full advantage, double check to see stand in the precise location on the wood with every roll. Roll from the same place, in the same way and you can adjust your marksmanship.

What about spin, to achieve specific action on the pins? That makes our next best piece of bowling advice. They get traction with the ball type. A lot of serious bowlers pack at least two bowling balls to pull off ridiculous hooks, selected precisely for the type of game and lane. But greenhorns should avoid putting on a show, and avoid a ball that weighs a ton. Some avid bowlers travel with bowling balls with synthetic materials. Steer clear of them, because these special-made balls might make even some well known pros seem foolish. That’s our first 3 bowling tips. A pro from our bowling shop will return soon.

With Glastonbury approaching there is one unique product that comes to mind, sky lanterns. They have, in recent years, become an integral part of any Glasto-goers experience. In an interview last year the headliner’s, Kings of Leon, cited the launch of sky lanterns from the Stone Circle as their enduring memory of the festival. If you do not directly launch one from the tranquil Stone Circle you are likely to witness their supernatural presence as they drift up and across the rolling Somerset farm land. It is no coincidence that the release of the lanterns, with their connotations of calm and hope, have become intrinsically associated with the Stone Circle. This area is where festival goers seek respite in the dark of the night, sitting and chatting communally around fires in the unconfined spirit that remains at the heart of the festival. As is traditional with sky lanterns, a wish is made with each one released. It is a powerful experience to watch from the hillside of the Circle as the wishes rise across the vast festival, oblivious to the chaotic crowds beneath them, up in to the sky and out of view. Watching the sky lanterns take this journey in to the clouds is a pure moment to reflect and escape. It is one of the reasons that despite its ever sprawling size, Glastonbury remains unique.

If you are interested in playing poker but don’t even know where to start, I may be of some help. Yes, it can be a little nerve wrecking to join in on a game of the more experienced poker players. But everybody has to start somewhere, right? Even so, to make for a more smooth transition, there are a few guidelines to abide by. First and foremost, I suggest you take a gaming lesson for beginners- most casinos offer them at least once a day. You may also want to try an online poker tutorial, they are very helpful and there is no pressure to learn fast or keep up with the group.

It is very important to understand the rules and procedure of the game before you begin to play with others. Make sure you know how much all color chips are worth before the game starts; red chip are $5, greens are $25, and blacks are $100. Be careful with the cards and never, ever, bend, tear or get anything on them. And most importantly, do no cheat. Don’t even think that you will get away with it, because you won’t. And once you are caught you will be forever branded with the reputation of a cheater, because gambling communities are very tight and everyone will find out.

I can’t guarantee that you will be the next Doyle Brunson, but hopefully my tips will give you some sort of a head start during your first real game of poker. Now, before you waste any more time, just get out there and play already.
