Do you love to play blackjack? I know I do! Its one of the most entertaining cards games I’ve ever played, and its pretty easy to understand. How good are you at blackjack? I’d like to offer you three simple ways to increase your chances of winning at blackjack. Maybe you already know about these tips? Lets find out.

Tip One – Always Double Down On 11

Generally speaking, you should always double down if you have 11. The chances of scoring 20 or higher are very high.

Tip Two – Splitting 8′s Is Generally A Good Idea

Why is splitting 8′s generally a good idea? Because holding a 16 hand is not very good. If you split your 8′s, you now have a realistic chance of scoring 18 or higher. Even if you don’t win both hands, you should at least win one of the hands, meaning you won’t win or lose any money.

Tip Three – Double Down If You Think The Dealer Will Go Bust

If the dealer is showing a 5 or 6 hand, while you hold a 7 to 11 hand, then I recommend doubling down. Be warned though that this tip is not for the feint hearted. If you cannot afford to lose, or don’t have much money left, then I wouldn’t recommend using this tip. It does work a lot of the time though, as demonstrated by my friends at the casino.

There you have it my friends, three solid tips that should hopefully help you next time you play blackjack. Winning consistently at blackjack is not an accident. Its a skill that can be acquired by anyone at any time.

Theme parties are definitely the “in” thing nowadays. Prom night, Pajama, Masquerade and Luau are the most common themes for parties and sometimes, we need to stretch our imagination a bit more, getting away from the conventional themes to ensure a truly unforgettable party experience. Are you ready for a Poker-themed Party? Here are some pointers that could help you make your poker party a worthwhile experience for you and your friends.

You can actually choose the decoration yourself so that you can get the casino feel once your guests come in. Watch their eyes get bigger of amazement on how you’ve managed to transform your room into a Las Vegas corner. If you think getting the real poker tables would be a little too costly, you can just improvise by getting some large green felt paper and cover the tables with it. Make sure to attach it really smoothly until you get that poker table feel. You can also get playing cards to serve as the invitations to your poker-themed party. You just need someone who will write legibly on them. Something hand-made is always better than something machine-made. You get to apply some personal touches to it which makes the event more significant and memorable for you and for your guests. If you want that casino-type of environment, you can also get lights set up at the venue of your poker party which will add a more Las Vegas feel to it. If you want balloons, you can have them designed with playing cards and poker chips for the imprints. However, not too many poker players find balloons very entertaining because they find it a little distracting during a game.

And speaking of distractions, make sure that your visitors roll up their long sleeves to prevent them from hiding cards during a game. You don’t want to end up losing in your own party just because someone pulled their poker trick on you. By the way, you might want to ask your guests to bring in their own set of poker chips for back up. You don’t want to end a good game early just when everything’s getting hot because you ran out of chips to provide the players with. Trust me on that. They will remember you for a poker party that ended too soon.

Another important thing to make sure of is the food. You don’t have to get a catering service to serve food in your poker party. It’s a poker party and not a binge out party. Having pizza delivered is a good idea because most people who play poker would agree that ordering pizza and being able to eat it conveniently at once is better to lower the down time in poker. You may also serve pica-picas but be sure to avoid serving them to everyone like a waiter because you’d end up distracting the poker players. Making this party a success really depends on how well you manage your guests and your venue. If everything turns out better than expected, you have a blossoming new career ahead of you.

Blackjack Tips

Let me show you the casino secrets that professional gamblers do or possess when they are heading to the casinos.

Many amateur gamblers will fail to see, even though the strategies are so easy and logical. This is where casinos take total advantage of this phenomenon and cause many gamblers to go home empty-handed.

Casino Tips To Remember:-   

1. How Much Money To Bring To The Casinos.

For the common people who are eager to get a rush of the casinos from all over the world, it is definitely ridiculous to tell you guys that, “Hey, bring about 5% of your bankroll and don’t get burned especially if you are on a losing streak!”

Let’s settle for 20% shall we? For example, if your payroll that you bring back home is 00 and you have decided to bring along 20%, that comes to 0. I do not encourage you guys and girls to continuously take from your salary that your kids are waiting for you to feed them as bread and butter money!

2. Leave All Your Valuables And Cash Behind.

From point one, make sure you leave all your credit cards at home and cash cards and atm cards and any other cards which you can extract money from. Leave your valuables at home too! Just take your 20% and a fair sum for your logging and food.

3.  Play Only With What You Have – Why That 20%.

Now here comes the reasoning for the somewhat big 20% that I have requested. First, if you took with you, say, 5% of your payroll, that will come to a miserable 0, if your salary is 00, which cannot do much and makes no sense for your long ride to the casinos. Of course, at this point, I am talking about the lowest point which you can take to the casinos! If you have more cash, you can reduce that 20% to 10%.

Secondly, if you lose 0, usually, you will go home with a revengeful heart. That is where casinos are dying to extract from each and every gambler! They are counting on your return with a vengeful heart! When you do this, the first thing in your brain is surely to win back that 0. And after that? Of course to make a killing!

Stop! That is exactly where one and every gambler loses their sense of logic and let their emotions take control. Lose that revengeful heart! Count your blessings that you only lost 0 and not 00!

Hence, that 20% will suffice and minimize any illogical reasoning your revengeful heart might have. do me a favour – Put all your dreams behind, put all your emotions behind and put all your love and hate behind at home. Now you are ready to head to the casino with a logical mind!

4. Social Etiquette.

When down at the casinos, remember to dress smart. Why? If you look dull, chances are you are going to be dull too. On the other hand, do not over dressed, or look as if you are the richest guy. Your aim is to stay low, look smart but without the casino management noticing you. Smile to the dealer and the patrons around you. It makes the table you are playing more pleasant and in Chinese terms, better “feng shui” in the atmosphere. If you are losing, don not show a moody face; it will not get you more money and only stresses you up.

5.Do not be overwhelmed by the casino environment!

Do not be dazed by the crazy lights and atmosphere in certain parts of the casino and dash there to play cause the casino advertisements taunt you so! Walk around and gauge the surrounding instead. Do not let your heart takes you to that jackpot or roulette table cause that sweet young thing or voluptuous chick is looking at you! Keep logical! You are here to win Big Money! The girls can always come later after that!

6. Learn Your Game.

If you are playing blackjack, go and learn some basic card playing strategies before embarking on the actual table game. If you go in with a complete lack of game play, the patrons that are on that table will most likely frown and might even ask you to leave. Though they do not have the right to do that, but nevertheless, a bad atmosphere is already created. Do not do that. Learn your game first. Get a book. or search the internet. There are tons and tons of basic casino game rules and strategies that you can enlist the help of. And they are all free!

7. Feel the good table for playing.

Do not hit the first table when you enter the casino! Feel around and look around. When you locate the table with your minimum bet, also try to get one without the smokes and crazy old men or loud women! They tend to spoil the atmosphere!

A good table that you can play and win is most likely the table with the most noise! And most likely, the seats are all taken! Nowadays, you can “hitch” a ride on the lucky player with your chips and watch how your chips multiply exponentially! The good table tend to have players with chips stacking up nicely and the players are all in a good jolly mood and chatting with one another. Usually when the players are winning, the probability is that the dealer is having a bad run. Things will turn around later on, so grab that chance as soon as possible! A good table ensures you are set for the day and your gambling game plan is already half won!

8. Do not be overwhelmed when you are winning!

If you have a good table to play, chances are, you will get carried away and start betting bigger bets! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Keep your bets to the same sum that you had been playing and be aware of the total money accumulated from your winnings and where your chips are! If you can, have a jacket with an inside pocket and zip or button to hold your good chips. This also prevents the crowd from noticing your abundance of wealth accumulation! After your good winning streak, go and change your chips to cash and if possible, send your money straight back home! There are now very convenient ways to do that!

The aim of all this is to prevent your heart from running wild and you might want to start crashing on almost any table or jackpot cause you start to believe you are on to having a good time! Don’t! That is exactly what the casino is seducing you with! The dazzling lights and pretty girls and loud jackpot noises and people cheering are the keys to making you lose that logical control in your abundance of wealth that you have accumulated! If you cannot control, then you should not even come to the casino in the first place!

9. Know when to walk away.

If on the other hand, you start losing, you need to stay calm. If you chance to have consecutive 3 losses, you might want to walk away from that table. You might want to set a sum, say to lose 0 or if you are winning, to win a targeted 00. Do not be greedy either way. If you win and then all of a sudden, the losing streaks come, you might want to watch that 3 consecutive losses or that first 0 to lose. In that way, you are aware of your wins and losses and are ready to walk away and walk out without the pain and lost of logical.

Try to watch how your chips are, keep them in piles where you know how to count them at a glance or through finger feeling. It is best to keep the chips into your pocket when you are winning so that you segregate the wins against what you can lose. Of course, this means you need to be very alert and learn some art of smooth motion without alerting greedy losers who are out to rob the winners! Be aware that some of these are pretty and voluptuous women!

So are you ready to hit out to the casinos? Good luck and may the best man wins! Have fun!

If up to 00 in a day’s gain is still NOT enough for your greed, then DON’T go to this resource at http://blackjacksecrettips.com!

Have Fun,

Knight

Just as the rabbit finished his snack, Frankencow noticed a strange animal lurking in the forest. At first, she thought it was a trick of the moonlight casting shadows in the trees, but she realized her mistake when a cat seemed to appear from nowhere just beyond the table.

"Um, we have company," Frankie said to the rabbit and Bingo. "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

The rabbit looked fearfully over his shoulder, but he relaxed at once when he saw the cat. "That’s just the cheshire cat," he told Bingo and Frankie. "He’s relatively harmless as long as you ignore him."

"I always thought the cat must have been a figment of Alice’s imagination – you know, because she missed her cat Dinah," Bingo mused aloud.

"Oh, no," the White Rabbit protested, "I assure you he is quite real, as you can see for yourself." But the cat’s image seemed to dissolve before their very eyes.

"Cat, you quit that," the rabbit scolded, "you’re scaring our visitors."

"I’m just playing," the cheshire cat said. "I don’t mean to frighten them. Well, only a little bit." With that, the cat reappeared with a big grin on its face.

"Have you warned them about the Queen’s temper since her re-ascension?" the cat asked.

"We haven’t quite gotten to the current situation yet," the rabbit said brusquely, "so I would appreciate it if you would stop butting in."

Frankie and Bingo shared a glance. They had expected Wonderland to be a little fantastical, but the current state of affairs seemed more off-kilter than what they’d bargained for.

How to play Poker
Image by DarkChunsa
how cool is this!! the dean gave all the peer advisors this gift as a thank you for our time volunteered during the summer. i now have a bonafide poker set and need to learn how to REALLY play poker. this is quality stuff!

Everywhere you look, it seems that people are eager to learn to play poker. Of course, the many variations of poker out there can make the choice of poker you want to discover a little bit hard to narrow down, but there are some basic rules and strategies that you can be taught that apply to every poker variation.

There is one exception in the essentials you’ll need so you can learn to play any poker variation, and that is casino poker. While the ranking of hands that we go over below is always the same, bluffing is not a component of casino poker, nor is the fact that skill will not help you in the long run. Casino poker is set up so that there is a house edge, which means that even if you do win, if you keep playing, eventually the casino will beat you, taking back not only the money that you won but also more of your own money.

Before we get into some of the basics of game play, it’s important to understand which poker hands beat other hands. Hands at the front of this list will beat all hands that come after (we’ll use the > sign to indicate superiority). Royal flush > straight flush > four of a kind > full house > flush > straight > three of a kind > two pair > one pair. These hands are also ranked according to how rare they are with, as you might have guessed, the rarest hands being the most powerful.

At the heart of any fair game of poker, and a real draw for all players whether amateur or professional, is the bluff. Bluffing is the art of deceiving one’s opponents into thinking that you hold a much stronger hand than you do. There are a lot of theories on bluffing, but essentially it comes down to being able to read the body language and playing styles of other players. A lot of popular references to poker play stick with people who want to learn to play poker, such as the fact that everyone has a tell. This is manifestly untrue, and even if it were true, it wouldn’t apply when playing poker online against opponents that you can’t see. It’s best to think that some players have a tell when they are bluffing, or holding a good hand, but this is not an iron clad rule that will help you win in any game.

That said, it is important if you want to learn how to win at poker that you ensure you yourself don’t have a tell, and that includes holding stock still whenever you are bluffing. Again, this won’t apply to an online game, but when playing with a group of friends, you will be under study and it’s best to appear natural at all times.

Of course the rules of poker are different according to the version of poker you want to learn to play. We look in subsequent articles at learning to play specific variations, but in the mean time, remember that the one way poker pros recommend to get you a good chance of winning in any situation is to study the game, both the way you play and the way your opponents do.

My "Ikea Hack" desk. After looking at it, I can see that it was unconsciously inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water. Since it is the most incredible house I’ve ever seen, I’m quite ok with the resemblance. All it needs is rock, trees, and a stairway into a river.

Black uprights are 1/4" thick steel speaker stands that were custom built for me a few years ago by a robotics engineer Honda co-worker as a barter for a case of poker chips.

The thin horizontal board is the backing from an old Ikea bookshelf given to me a few years ago by a friend and Columbia University schoolmate when he moved from Los Angeles to North Carolina. It is screwed to the top plate of each speaker stand from below by three drywall screws.

The main desk surface is from an Ikea coffee table. It is 68"x31". This is wide enough for my monitor and a laptop, and deep enough to push the keyboard back and eat on it while watching movies or what not. It is typically "cost effective" hollow core Ikea construction of particle board frame and corrugated cardboard in between a wood veneer top surface and a cardboard bottom. This construction makes it very difficult to attach to anything since screws will only hold in the 2" particle board frame. Because of this, there are only two 3" drywall screws holding the table top to the board.

The computer and external hard drive platform is an L-shaped lower shelf from an Ikea computer desk that at 20"x26" was waaay too small to be useful. The L shape workes well to allow the shelf to wrap around the vertical upright. Using a 1/2" drill bit, I made three holes at the three corners of the shelf and used cut drumsticks (the drumming kind, not from chickens) as legs to keep the computer off the dusty lint-producing carpet, and give room for the many, many cables to go.

Obviously this seems like an unstable creation, but I came up with a solution. There is a 6"x9" L-bracket screwed into a stud in the wall as an anchor. The bracket is screwed into both the horizontal board, and the tabletop, keeping the whole structure from tipping, tilting, moving, or falling over. It also keeps the gap to the wall at exactly 1/2" to give room for wires to drape down.

This Texas Hold Em Poker tip can be boiled right down to this. What is the objective of poker? What is YOUR objective when playing poker? Is it to make money? Is it to win the most pots? Well, if winning the most money and pots was your objective then you should play every single pot, raise big at every go. You would most likely win the most pots but that’s not beating the game. What about enjoying yourself? Is that the objective of poker. Yes, for some people, but that’s not beating the game, that’s enjoying the game. You can do both.

At the end of the day, poker is all about making the correct decisions. Understanding that making correct decisions is  the critical point this Texas Hold Em Poker tip is trying to convey. Take just that home and you’ve done well for today. If you make all the correct decisions you will succeed. You you make poor decisions you will likely fail very quickly.

Playing poker is kind of like investing. You get your money, gather and learn as much information as possible, make a decisions on investing you money and hope you get a good return. If you do or you don’t, that goes back into the information pool, you change or alter you decision and invest again, trying to get a good return. This is investing. Funnily enough this is exactly what poker is. You get your money, in the form of chips. Gather information on the other  players and the cards you have (odds etc.), make a decision when to investing and how much and hope for a good return. Depending on what happens alters how you will do it next time, and the cycle goes on. The thing is, in poker, you get results within minutes instead of having to wait years. You can chop, change and fine tune much faster then you can with normal investing.
