Texas holdem is a kind of poker in which each player is dealt two cards face down and then five cards face up in the center of the table. the two cards that are face down on the table are called hole cards or pocket cards, while the five other cards that are face up are called board cards or community cards. Each player shares these five board cards to make the best five-card hand from the cards in the hole and the cards on the board. Click Here to Play in the Missoula Poker Tournaments
The river in Texas holdem is the name for the fifth card dealt, face-up on the board, in community card games like Texas holdem. it is the last of the five community cards.
Making it to the river probably means that you have the best hand. You will not see the river card unless you have a strong hand that is a favorite to win or you have a draw to a winning hand. once the river card is turned over, you know exactly what you have. from this point, all of the potential value of your hand is turned into realized value. You can no longer improve your hand. instead, you can force out, fold, or showdown.
If you want some tips on smart river play, then here they are: All your decisions on whether to bet, fold, call, raise, or re-raise are based on the realized value of your hand from this point. If you’ve made two pair, it will usually win unless the river brings a third suited card. If a third suited card comes out, be extra cautious because you now may have a flush threat against you. If its heads up and there is a large pot, it’s better to call with the worst hand than to fold the winning hand.
Play the river in Texas holdem right, and win the game!

I need help setting up the details/rules of my home poker game…
5-7 people
$40-60 buy in?
stakes?
Re-buy?
Limit/No Limit?
Do a search for "poker tournament structure" and you'll get lots of sites with very clear instruction on how to do this.
You need to decide for yourself if you want to play "no limit" or "limit" and whether or not you'll allow re-buys. I would suggest no re-buys and 'no limit' but I'm not playing at your house.
Depends on the kind of game you want to play. If you want to play Hold'em only, then you could play limit or no-limit, whatever the buy-in.
However, if you want to play variety games, such as high-low, Omaha, draw, or stud, I suggest you make it a limit game. Limit games can be lots of fun. You just need to set a limit that everyone is comfortable with. A great way to start is quarter ante, $1 limit. no one will get hurt at these stakes. If this seems too mild for your crowd, you can always raise the stakes, but be sure everyone agrees before raising them.

Posted September 4, 2010 – 2:40 am in: Uncategorized
I have decided to have a country glam themed sweet 16, but I only have a few ideas. I know that I want everyone to dress up country and its in the late afternoon/evening (4-7), so its more like a backyard BBQ. There will be tons of food, music, games of poker and texas hold 'em, but I dont know what else to have. I am thinking about having a fake jail set up where people can take pictures and I wanted to get a mechanical bull…does anyone know where I can find one that is not too expensive? If you have any ideas that would be great! thanks!
I wouldn't necessarily rent a mechanical bull…they are too expensive to rent and not that much fun. I would rather ride a horse…however, not everyone is as fortunate as me to get all that. it is your party and it would be nice to at least get the country feel of things. I wouldn't know any different, I've lived it all my life.

Pilot rescued from Gulf of Mexico
A pilot who crashed his Cessna into the Gulf of Mexico 40 miles north of Key West Saturday night was plucked from the water four hours after the 9 p.m. crash, according to a Coast Guard press release.
The man was flying solo from Bartow to Key West, but no more information about his identity or medical condition was given.
“We initially heard his voice calling for help, and then saw him in our searchlights,” the release quotes Thomas Jefferson Cmdr. Shepard M. Smith as saying. “We are very pleased to have been able to help avert a real tragedy.”
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s research vessel crew found the man after the Coast Guard issued crash alerts about the Cessna 172 Skyhawk.
Poker Run registration is now open
Bikers can register online for the 38th annual Key West Poker Run, set for Sept. 16-19.
Register now at http://www.petersonsharley.com, or at Peterson’s Harley-Davidson’s two Miami locations after Sept. 1.
Upon registering and making a $10 donation, each participant will receive a poker sheet — additional “poker hands” are available for $10 apiece — and a weekend parking pass.
Entrants who draw the 10 best poker hands are eligible to play in a winner-take-all round of Texas Hold ‘Em.
Part of Duval Street will be closed to car traffic during much of the Poker Run so bikers can park and display their bikes there.
As many as 10,000 bikes are expected to traverse the 113-mile Overseas Highway to Key West. Drivers of cars and trucks also can participate in the run.
Train for foster parenting
Wesley House Family Services will host a PRIDE Certification course for people who want to provide foster homes for children in need, either on a temporary or permanent basis.
The class will be from 6 to 9 p.m. every Tuesday from Sept. 7 until Nov. 9 at the Wesley House offices at 175 Wrenn St.
Foster families are required to take the class, as well as submit to a background check and character screening.
To register or get more information about fostering, contact Molly McAteer at 305-289-2677.

Posted September 4, 2010 – 12:01 am in: Uncategorized
Setting Itinerary now. Do I have to check each separate hotel ??? would like to play 3 or 4 different casinos…
Personally I would recommend the Venetian and Luxor. I stayed at the Venetian during the holidays and played a couple of tournaments – very well organized with buy-ins under $200. the Luxor has slightly lower tournaments under $80 dollars.
Other tournaments would be at the Bellagio, Ceasars and Hard Rock. Hard Rock is very nice with lots of young people and great nightlife (you can always go to the MGM as well) – Unfortunately I don't have the schedule but most of the tournaments start at 6:00pm and 8:00pm. Early bird texas hold'em tournaments would be at the Luxor and Bellagio.
Just my two cents.
I'm in Vegas 4-5 times a year!
Card Player magazine has a list of tournaments.
Shame on you, Paris. the local Indian tribes just spent umpteen millions of dollars promoting ballot initiatives that would allow them to install more slots in their casinos to entice Californians to gamble here at home. how can you thumb your nose at them by going to "Vegas" to play Poker?
Are you trying to force all those poor,old "squaws" back into selling turquoise jewelry, and Kachina dolls as a way of make a living? What will the tribal elders think of you when they learn about this? I can just see Geronimo turning over in his grave right now.
Is there a list of hotels w/ small $ Texas Hold'em TOURNAMENTS?

Posted September 3, 2010 – 11:00 pm in: Uncategorized
My boyfriend is 26 years old and dreams of becoming a badminton superstar. Problem is every time he starts training he keeps gets injured. He quit working around 2 1/2 years ago and has been playing poker online as a source of income since then. Problem is, that hasn't been too productive and he is owing me a lot of $$$. He says he'll get a job next year but until then, I've been finding it hard to cope with the emotional stress of supporting him and his ways. He is a great guy otherwise. should I wait for next year to come and see how things go? I know it's just a month or 2 to go…but I'm feeling the pressure and stress from the situation that we've been fighting a lot due to my emotional outbursts =(
Dump him! You're worth more than that!
thats like taking care of a child … give it more time to see if things workout
GOOD LUCK
please answer mine – http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
Girl!!! You need him to sign you a Promisary note and get ride of his A**. You can do bad all by yourself you don't need him to be setting you back and making your life hard. He wants to be lazy he can go back where he came from. start the year off great and new. good luck
Talk to him. Its an unfair burden he is placing on you with the gambling. it is your money after all he is simply throwing away. why does he have to wait until next year? is he aiming for 3 years of unemployment?
Take a break from each other, cut off the cash flow…do what you have to do. There is no reason for you to feel like crap because of his actions.
talk to him
put things flat
tell him u cant support him
tell him to get a job
trust me, later he will forgive u
its good for him to get a job
How in the heck does one get hurt playing badminton all the time? Maybe he's doing something wrong. He quit working to gamble his and your money away? That's not right. it sounds like you're supporting a man with an addiction to gambling.
IMO, you should tell him in a loving way that this lifestyle isn't working for you anymore. tell him that you want to see him get a job and that you'll even help him find and get jobs (and then actually do it. Lol) He can't keep putting it off for a year. He needs to do it now. Sure there aren't a whole heck of a lot of people hiring, but someone's hiring and will be willing to take him (provided he doesn't gamble on the job)
dump him,pronto
What should I do with a boyfriend who is 26 years old, who doesn't work and plays poker online?

Posted September 3, 2010 – 9:40 pm in: Uncategorized
The first thing to get the right product is to have the right idea about it. A purchase online offers not only the product but you can also get the right information before you order. getting a specific type of chip you wish. now you must decide which will solve your goal may vary with the weight, design and texture of the chips. A better way to do is check the various qualities of a chip in your local store then decide to order one online. But it may be a bit tedious to anyone, so if you want to go that way you can take the help of relevant information on online poker sites. these places have plenty to keep the right information for all types of players, which can reach a good decision for the best buy.
Throughout this tournament the blinds and antes are growing steadily. the player to the left of the dealer button is considered a small blind. the player who is on the left side of the small blind and the right of the dealer button is considered a big blind. it is not necessary that an average blind. after getting the good idea of your needs, find the best prices is another requirement. Prices are factors that vary with the sellers, but buying online can omit this obstacle. Online stores allow you to compare their products and whether you pay the exact amount here or not. it is a unique advantage of shopping online for a few minutes; you can scan several options to get the best price or even quality.
Instead of no physical access to products in a line can also have guaranteed quality. if you want to surf different websites to buy poker chips online you will get multiple reviews and expert opinions to help you determine what is best for you. for example, if you want a chip that will last a sustainable life consider a complex chip that is made of clay and other materials. if you are looking for a cheap but smart almost unbreakable, a judge, made of a resin material. But if you want your poker chip set as those used in virtually every casino in the world, you are probably looking for chip clay.
