Hiding True Intentions

Some poker players are wearing sunglasses, hoodies, caps, etc., just to hide their identities. But, a good player should also consider the gestures of their opponents. Below are the poker clues that a poker player should know.

Avoid too much talking – excessive talking is a big NO in the poker room. Avoid the obvious things to trick your opponent without revealing your true intentions.

Standardize your movement – if you are familiar with an animal “chameleon” that change skin colors as natural defense mechanism. Make your movements similar to other players so that they will not notice your playing patterns.

Watch your eye contact – try to hide your emotions especially during rough situations. Remember the phrase that “eyes are the windows to the soul”, watch your eye movements so that they will not sense your next move.

How to Choose and Online Casino?

Online casino offers many fun games and provides safe, enjoyable online entertainment for players. I've spending large amount of time playing video poker. It is a game based on five-card draw poker and it turned out to be of the most accepted and popular casino games can be played for both online and offline.

If you're a first time player, you need to read first the website's rules, strategy and history. I just recently joined to an online site and what I did is, read the information about the site and watches some of their video tutorials before I start playing. I always check first the reviews about the casino site to avoid severe problems in the future.

Casinos are in the business of making money and your commitment is very important to them. Read the websites security measures and terms and conditions before joining.

Don't Play If You Can't Afford To Lose

I was at the bar last night with my friends and we were exchanging thoughts if online poker should be legal. I appreciate their opinions and suggestions about that. To be honest, I totally agree that poker should be legal in our country. Because I'm a poker player too, I've been playing for eight years. I'm lucky because I win almost every time.
 
Poker is my hobby; I can't stop myself playing poker because it is already part of my life. It's quite an addiction too but I can still control myself to spend my money wisely. I suggest to other players that don't play if you can't afford to lose.

Poker Funny Jokes

Just came across to poker humor site a while ago. I just laugh out loud because of these funny jokes.


*A homeless man asks another man for two dollars. The man says "Will you use the money to buy booze?" The homeless man replies "No sir, I don't drink." The man then asks "Will you use the money to gamble?" The homeless man replies "No sir, I don't gamble." So the man says "Do me a favor and come home with me. I want my wife to see what happens to a man who doesn't drink or gamble."


*A man sits down at a poker game and consistently calls another man's bluff. The other man asks "how could you tell I was lying?" and the man replies "because your chips were moving."


*A weekly Friday night poker game was going strong well into the midnight hour when one of the players from the game returned from a bathroom break with a shocked look to him. "David!" he said with urgency, "Come quick! Your wife is in the bathroom making love to your brother!". "Ok guys" David replied, "this is absolutely the last hand!"


Ha Ha Ha!


This is why I love poker, Very funny! ;)
