Don’t Let Yourself Fall Into The Poker Slot Gacor Trap

Posted on by Allison Jordan

Take a game like Texas hold’em. It’s not just a one-type, one-style game. And every single one of its permutations requires its own particular set of skills: There are full ring games that will be either loose-aggressive, loose-passive, tight-aggressive, or tight-passive. There are shorthanded games, pot-limit, no-limit, and tournaments.

We all start out with perceptions of the correct way to play a particular type of game. And when you factor personal style into the mix, the upshot is that there’s always one certain type of game that an individual player tends to gravitate to. This does not mean that the games that don’t fit our own particular style are any less ski11-based or any 1ess interesting than the type of game another player specializes in. It just means that we’ve all got a Slot Gacor game that for each of us seems to have the most comfortable fit. Nothing wrong with that, of course. That is, unless it leads to The Trap.

You know The Trap. Maybe you’ve even heard yourself uttering its chant: This strategy has worked for me in the past, I am not going to change it, the reason that I am doing poorly is just BAD LUCK.

It’s too easy to get stuck in The Trap which leads to thoughts 1ike “I like full ring games and if the game is shorthanded I am not going to play.” There’ll be an equally trapped group of players out there who will only want to play if the game IS shorthanded. There’ll be another group that only wants to play pot-limit. Or no-limit. Or wi11 only play if a game is in a tournament format.

This kind of thinking is fine if you like running in place. But if it is your desire to be a great player, …

Acting Like A UFA

Posted on by Allison Jordan

Sharks can smell blood in the water from miles away. How hard is it for a shark at your table to sense you are hurting and come in for the kill?

You know the answer: IT’S EASY. It doesn’t even take a shark to know when things are going bad for you. A guppy would come over for a bite, if you opened a wound.

What AM I talking about? I’m talking about acting like a victim at the poker table.

If you start losing, and begin to whine in frustration, even a novice poker player knows to jump on you when you are down.

To get the man-eaters to go devour someone else, you must learn to hide the fact that you’ve taken a severe beat. Don’t turn your cards over and whine, “You only had two outs, how could you call me?” This stamps ‘LOSER’ on your forehead, and you can bet your next raise will be called by half the table.

I had a hand recently in a No-Limit Hold’em game that is an example of how to avoid being victimized at a poker table.

I had pocket Aces under the gun and came in for six times the big blind. I was hoping, of course, that someone would reraise me. But instead, I got three callers behind me. The flop came A Q 7 rainbow (three different suits). This was a wonderful flop for my hand, giving me the ‘nuts’ with top set. I checked and it was checked around to the big blind who bet. I smooth called. Everyone else folded.

The turn came a Jack. The big blind bet, I called. The river came a 10, the only card that could beat me. He bet, I folded. I knew what the big blind had, …

ligaz11 Poker In America

Posted on by Allison Jordan

Hello again and welcome back to Poker In America. I hope everyone here in the States had a pleasant Thanksgiving holiday and had their fill of turkey, football and spirits. Hurry up and eat those leftovers, we’ll be doing it all over again in a few weeks as Christmas and the New Year approaches. All of us here at PokerPages had a bit of a break, but it seems that poker players never rest, as it has been another busy couple of weeks on the Tournament circuit. Let’s get to it.

With all the prize money won at the Foxwoods World Poker Finals there were plenty of players looking to get that money back into play and parlay it into even more. That brings us to The Commerce Casino in Los Angeles California.

 

Raul Ruiz

Tournament Director Cheri Dokken and rest of the Poker room staff at the Commerce did another fine job in hosting their Holiday Bonus Tournament. 10 very affordable ligaz11 events ($100-$300 buy-ins) didn’t keep the prize pools from inflating. Total prize pool for the entire 10-day event climbed over $645,000. To kick off the tournament, it was employees only. The Employees Limit Hold ‘Em free roll, a favorite among the staff, featured 122 of the Commerce’s finest. Raul Ruiz gets bragging rights for the rest of the year his win in that event.

 

Vinny Vinh

The first “official” event, Event #1 Limit Hold ‘Em saw the biggest prize pool of the event. With over $131,000 ready to be split up among the day’s money finishers, you knew that it was going to take a few rebuys (310) to make the final table. Vinny Vinh, from my home state of Texas, took first place, and more importantly the $63,355 that went along with it. Good …

Inside the Interactive Gaming Council

Posted on by Allison Jordan

Uncommunicative, casino operator oriented and player insensitive were some of the more common and heated accusations made against the Interactive Gaming Council (IGC) on message boards across the internet during the Golden Palace confiscated winnings dispute.

 

Angry and frustrated players unable to open a reasoned personal dialogue with the casino or its software provider turned their guns on the IGC, which appeared not to take a position on the issue by remaining silent amidst the escalating furore.

 

In all things there are generally two sides to a story. And it is true that although message boards perform an invaluable function in exchanging information there are times when accusations levelled in the heat of the moment can take on a life of their own in the ensuing storm of vituperation – and that can obscure the truth.

 

So what is the IGC’s attitude towards daftar disini players, and how does their complaint structure operate? What powers do they have over members and who are those members? For these and other answers we turned to the IGC Executive Director, Rick Smith, and Deputy Executive Director, Keith Furlong, and found them both willing and keen to respond.

 

Winneronline (WO): Is the IGC focused on fair treatment for online casino players?

 

IGC: Absolutely. It is a major objective for us, and our membership conditions and programs are based on building player confidence in IGC casinos which voluntarily comply with our codes.

 

This was one of the key components in the IGC organization in 1996. Development of a Code of Conduct to protect players in the then new industry was one of the first initiatives.

 

A key mission of the IGC is to promote an environment where there is an absence of fraud, both fraud by players as …

Casino Software Providers Clarify Player Policies

Posted on by Allison Jordan

Feel that you’ve been ripped off by an online casino? Can’t get satisfaction from the casino management? Many players in this situation expect the software supplier to help – but that may not necessarily be in the cards.

Gambling software suppliers hold divergent views – and some apparently have no views at all – on their obligations in terms of fair and efficient treatment for casino players.

Prompted by three recent confrontations between players, casinos and software suppliers, Winneronline asked thirteen well known software providers for their views on this controversial topic.

The fact that only six of the thirteen responded despite frequent reminders would suggest that at least some suppliers do not see a commitment to assist the end-user (the player) as part of their obligations at all.

Three of the “Big Four” – CryptoLogic, Boss Media and Starnet – responded with professional and encouraging input which showed a real concern for how aggrieved players are treated.

Of all respondents, CryptoLogic, Boss Media and Australian software provider Access seem to have the most player-oriented approach, and their strictly controlled casinos arguably offer the best player protection.

CryptoLogic’s e-cash is insured up to US$100,000 per player

“We believe that both casino management and software providers should be responsible for addressing and helping to resolve player concerns or issues,” says CryptoLogic’s Director of Communications, Nancy Chan-Palmateer.

“CryptoLogic provides a total turnkey gaming solution to our licensees, which includes customer support for technical, gaming and e-cash. Our licensees operate their Internet casino business determining business strategy, market focus, marketing plans, promotions, setting fair odds within established gaming rules and regulations. The nature of the issue may determine which party – casino operator or software provider – is in the best position to help, but both parties have a responsibility to work together …

Online Situs Judi Slot Online Terpercaya Casinos – Are They Honest?

Posted on by Allison Jordan

Perhaps the most asked questions pertaining to gambling on the Net: Are online casinos honest? Will I get cheated? Will I get paid?

Simply put, people are afraid that they will be cheated out of their money by the next big “scam” and they don’t want to be one of those people.

First it was credit-card scams, but since then millions of people have purchased online goods without much hassle. And credit card information, despite many reports to the contrary, is generally safe online.

Then it was personal information, such as address, telephone number, age etc. that was purportedly being used by and/or sold to others, in some cases by very large companies such as Doubleclick.net, which provides the ads for a great majority of the sites on the Net. And yet again, I wish to point out that your information is generally safe – in fact the Federal Trade Commission recently dropped their investigation into Doubleclick’s activities.

Now it’s online gambling. All sorts of governmental agencies and personnel are just hoping to make online gambling their ride to the big-time – a star to hang their hat on. And guess what? Surprise, surprise… there aren’t any stars in the making – only fools.

So, you ask, why do I always seem to be losing?

Let’s start with the basics. Every casino in the WORLD, online or land-based, offers games which give the house an edge. No matter what you do, you generally can’t beat that edge. Casinos always make money. Gamblers as a whole always lose money. That’s the way the system works.

Obviously some people are winning when they hit jackpots, or they apply the proper strategy to a particular game and QUIT when they are ahead. The longer you play, the more likely it is that you …

EBay to block PayPal gambling and Judi Slot Online payments

Posted on by Allison Jordan

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Online auction giant eBay Inc. announced today it is buying electronic payment facilitator PayPal Inc. for more than $1.3 billion in stock, in a long-rumored deal that the companies hope will make Internet trading faster, easier and safer.

The deal could hurt the Internet gambling industry, as eBay will end PayPal’s practice of handling gambling transactions. Although it is widespread, Internet gambling is considered to be illegal under U.S. law.

Separately, eBay released second-quarter earnings early, posting a net profit that more than doubled from last year. EBay earned $54.3 million, or 19 cents per share, on revenue of $266 million in the quarter ended June 30. That beat Wall Street forecasts of 17 cents a share, according to Thomson Financial/First Call.

Mountain View-based PayPal lets buyers and sellers exchange money via e-mail. Buyers make payments online through credit cards and bank accounts, and PayPal relays the funds to sellers’ accounts, taking a fee based on the amount transferred. About 60 percent of its business comes from eBay users.

Like eBay, it is a rare Internet-based business success. After beginning with just 24 experimental users in October 1999, PayPal has become profitable and boasts more than 15.4 million accounts. The company says it facilitated about $1.6 billion in money transfers in the most recent quarter.

Although regulators in some states have questioned whether PayPal might need to be licensed as a bank — a potentially worrisome prospect for PayPal’s growth — the company had one of this year’s best initial public offerings, with its stock rising 55 percent on its first day of trading in February and still well ahead of its $13 opening price.

In early trading today, eBay shares were down $2.28, nearly 4 percent, at $58.30 on the Nasdaq Stock Market. PayPal stock …

Travels With the Camel

Posted on by Allison Jordan

The Master Classics of Poker at Holland Casino in Amsterdam has been my favourite event on the poker circuit since I first visited Amsterdam about six years ago. It is the one tournament where you can’t be that disappointed to have been knocked out of an event, because plenty of laughs are to be found at the bar, and Amsterdam has many other attractions to entice the poker player at a loose end. Whatever I am doing in life, I guarantee that I will be at the Master Classics, unless I am 6 feet under.

 

Having said all that, there were some complaints about this year’s event. Holland Casino chose not to follow the now general conventions of giving a maximum of one chip to each player in a chip race and mucking a player’s hand if he is not in his seat when the last card is dealt. While the first is only a minor annoyance, the non-mucking of hands is a terrible mistake. After a break in the big event, a guy moved in his short stack from middle position, thinking he had only me and one other player to beat, as none of the other players had taken their seats. I passed, but the button dwelt up. After the blinds retook their seats, the button passed and the big blind found K-K and called. The raiser had only 9-8 and was busted out. But he had raised while thinking he had only two players to beat. Also, in rushing back to their seats, the blinds easily could have caught a glimpse of another player’s cards as they walked behind them.

 

Here is another problem with Amsterdam. At one stage, I reraised a player. A friend happened to be standing behind me. After my opponent passed, …

James joins Situs Qiu Qiu Online Bayern

Posted on by Allison Jordan

Never mind the hype about the Premier League: James Rodriguez has agreed to join Bayern Munich, it was announced this morning.

The move is only a two-year loan but includes an option to buy the 25 year-old for £35 million at the end of it.

The 2014 World Cup golden boot Situs Qiu Qiu Online winner sorely needed a change of scenery after being exiled to the bench for most of the season at Real Madrid, but his final destination is a real shock after so much linking of him to England.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and most of all Manchester United, whose manager Jose Mourinho shares the same agent as Rodriguez, ‘super-agent’ Jorge Mendes, had been tipped to nab his signature, with Bayern, PSG and Juventus firmly thought to be in the chasing pack.

According to the endless miasma of transfer gossip, such English teams had been “in advanced talks” for weeks, which makes Bayern’s press release the snatch of the summer.

That the Colombian is headed to Germany must be down to manager Carlo Ancelotti’s personal intervention.

How short our memories are. The Italian brought him to the Bernabeu after the last World Cup, where in his first campaign he was Real’s player of the season. James was used in a variety of midfield roles by Ancelotti, who clearly valued him as a crucial and versatile support for the BBC (Bale, Benzema & Cristiano) trident ahead of him.

James might not score like a forward, but he certainly gets involved in attacks and supplies the bullets to his teammates.

However, his mentor Ancelotti did not last beyond 2015 in Madrid. Despite winning the Club World Cup, Real finished two points behind Barcelona in the league, exited the Copa del Rey in the round of 16 after losing to Atletico …

Togel Gambler who recovered aids another

Posted on by Allison Jordan

I received the email two days ago. “How do I stop?” he asked. My friend, Harry, is trying to stop gambling. His email had a joking tone, but his meaning was quite serious. “I know that I have to stop, but I don’t know how to,” Harry wrote. “How do you walk away when you’re down, and admit that you’ve lost?”

 

Harry is a 26-year-old law student, living like most law students live. Harry eats lots of 99-cent double cheeseburgers and chokes each time he sees the cable/Internet bill in the mailbox.

 

He started gambling on games after his new roommate introduced him to the pastime.

 

First it was $25 or $50 on the Patriots, just a little something to enhance the enjoyment of the game. Then, Harry turned to betting on college basketball. Fifty-dollar bets turned into $150 bets, which turned into $500 bets.

 

Harry won some, but lost more. His new gambling habit was turning into a problem. Over the last few days, Harry has gambled away his rent and grocery money.

 

That’s when he emailed me. He knew that I had battled the same beast during my college days. I watched many a Syracuse basketball game wringing a useless towel.

I’ve felt the high of winning $1,000, then spontaneously ordering Chinese food for the entire floor. But, I also know how it feels to lose $1,000, your gut wrenching even as you plan your next bet to make up the loss, which you can’t afford anyway. It is a vicious, evil cycle.

I gambled most of my freshman year, my bets becoming more and more bold. I learned more sophisticated ways to place bets that yielded larger potential payouts. I even started taking bets from friends and acquaintances. Suddenly, I was an …
