How to recognize a bluff

August 26th, 2011

after your opponent has bet you’re wondering: “He’s bluffing, or does it really have something?” Mike taught me that if properly studied the enemy, you will notice signs that prompt a response. The behavior of the enemy, as the sound of his voice, can tell he has good cards or bad. Show of force. For example, your opponent, betting, throwing chips with greater than necessary force. He’s probably bluffing. He wants to scare you with its big bet. If he is negligent, betting, and then tries to align the chips, they are also likely bluffing. This is because the player who handles the awkward chips, afraid of what you will become suspicious and will accept your bid. If his hand is weak or bluffing player, most often he will try to correct the situation and understand the chips. If the chips were scattered, and your opponent is in no hurry to raise them, he certainly good cards.
It makes your opponent? He makes a bet with confidence or with fear? If he bets with unconvincing aggressive, it’s usually a sure sign of weakness. However, if he puts in some uncertainty, it is likely that he has good cards. Mike does not recommend the support rate, if before it is done, the opponent shakes his shoulders and sighs. This man wants to convince you that he has bad cards, and that he continues to play heavy heart. Do not buy into it. Mike believes that it is the opposite situation, when an experienced player starts to raise rates aggressively. He wants you to raise. He tries to fool you by convincing in his “bluff.”
He holds his breath. Suppose that a player makes big bets, is now sitting pretty quietly, almost with bated breath. Mike taught me that this is an obvious hint. The player is afraid that if he drinks of, coughed, or simply move (even with a sigh) – this can lead to the fact that you take the bet. So, without thinking, take his bet, even if this sounds a bit funny and frightening – your opponent is bluffing. As Mike says, “When a player has really good cards, he will feel relaxed and easy to breathe normally or even excessively. Bluffing player is afraid to move and breathe. ”
If the player examines his cards too long, and then makes a bet, he is likely to be bluffing. He who considers his cards in this way, or checked with them several times, as if to make sure that holds the most likely, not very good cards. The player who looks at his cards, then quickly looks away, generally good alignment. How can you forget that you have a pair of aces? Who’s supposed to make sure that these two kings have not gone away? Such cards are difficult to forget.
If your opponent is bothering you whistling and humming, then made ​​a bid and stopped as soon as you pretended that they decided to take a bet, he probably bluffing. Mike said that he could safely sustain such a bet, because those who are bluffing, freeze, trying to remain unnoticed, so as not to arouse suspicion. Sometimes a player tries to maintain visual contact with you, but can not do it with confidence and instinctively turned his eyes away. This usually means a bluff. If a player can easily look into the eyes, it is often (but not always) says he is confident in their maps.
Smiles are different too. Even a smile can give a player. The natural smile means that the player is relaxed, feeling good, and probably has good cards. Artificial, strained smile usually means a player is bluffing. Bluff do not like to argue. They behave kindly, not to involve you in the opposition and acceptance rates.

Desire to win is not enough

August 9th, 2011

Stimulate the desire to prepare to win.

Hello And again, welcome. I ordered a couple of delicacies in a multilayer sandwich of hot corned beef, smoked beef, salami, and Swiss cheese. You can cook yourself something like that.

I bet if for the sake of the experiment, at the entrance to the poker room, ask a hundred people, why they play poker, all the respondents say that they are playing for money. However, if the opportunity to observe each of them during the game, it soon became clear to the vast majority came here not for money, otherwise they would not play so disgusting. Sure, they’d like to win, but for the most part they want to play. It seems that they strictly follow the principle: “To play and win, you need to play and play. The most important thing – to play.”

For many players all love poker, the social aspect plays a significant role. Most players prefer low and middle limits, enjoy the action itself. And only a few (this includes you and me) are ready to leave the poker room with additional income in your pocket. After all, we go to the casino to play poker and make money.

Any poker player, no doubt, wants to win. What most people do not want to do is to prepare to win.

A million poker players, only the units have a book on how to win. Notice I used the word “is”, not “read”, because most of those who do have such a book, it did not even read. They apparently believe that the mere purchase and availability of this book will enhance their knowledge about the victory. After reviewing the book only once, they are confident that it will be engaged in a detailed study later (delaying its reading for an indefinite period) and immediately rush to start the game.

In the information age, you get knowledge on a platter, and all that you need to do is to make money on the Card Player, and buy affordable book that will lie dormant and accumulate dust if you do not bother to read them.

If you decide to take poker seriously, you’ve probably already read many instructions on how to play poker. And now, not just re-read them again, but please read. Let every word becomes familiar and the familiar, then penetrate deep into your consciousness and become an integral part of the game, this constantly repeat learned. You would think that it would take a lot of energy? You are right, the way it is. But I can assure you that the easy path to victory does not exist.

Recall the words of my childhood idol of all Americans, the famous basketball player Ed McCauley “Easy” (Ed McCauley) . Regarding training, he said: “At a time when you do not exercise, there is a person who trains. And when you meet him, he will surpass you.” Most of your opponents in this very moment, study the strategy of poker. Many absorb every word from Card Player, and literally “gobble up” every book on poker that gets their hands on. “Someone visited my private lessons. I advise you properly prepare for a meeting with them.

You should be aware that the information that you use for self-improvement, is also available to other players. You learn, so do others. They know what you know, you’re so self-question, how do you beat them? This is not a rhetorical question. I have heard many answers to the question of how you can become the best? The most important thing – a “discipline.” Remember, no matter how well you know how to play, most importantly how well you play. A player who is working on his discipline and consciously avoids the repetition of their mistakes, waiting for permanent success and glory of the winner. In poker, low and middle limits bring a lot of money.

Let me remind you an old joke, some paraphrasing it: “Only two people in this world really want to learn how to play poker – you and me – though I can not be absolutely sure about you.” My goal is to be sure you are, therefore, to work.
Forget about the desire to win, to stimulate the desire to prepare to win. Keep me informed.

All I was exhausted and I need a vacation, but you probably already finished with his “cholesterol” sandwich. Enough to sit back, it’s time to act.

Trends in modern slot machines

July 15th, 2011

Today, deep in thought about the situation in modern video slot gaming industry, I once wrote a rather large unnoticed an article about slot machines in online casinos.

On this article I was inspired by the latest inventions of the company Micro gaming Systems in the development of online slots, as well as the overall trend is manifested in the world, called the new online casinos in honor of slot machines.

There is a feeling that the business – the owners of online casinos – deliberately trying to create the players feeling as if they are not old-fashioned gambling house, and the ultra modern hall of slot machines.

Judging by the statistics of the most popular casino entertainment, the players and that is what you need. What else can one explain the fact that 90% of titles among the top 50 most popular games of chance in any online casino – it is not something else, like video slots and slot machines with progressive

Tiger Woods takes golf games online

April 9th, 2010

You would be hard pressed to find a PC owner from the nineties that hadn’t wasted a time playing golf games. This week EA has taken the genre (and the time wasting) to a new level, with its ‘freemium’ title, Tigers Woods PGA Tour online

One of the most enduring genres of sports games on the PC has been golf. Access Software’s Links was one of the first 3D games to grace DOS based PCs, and it would be hard to find someone who owned a PC in the 1990s who didn’t indulge in a round or two of digital golf. 

Links as a brand lasted for many, many years until it was killed off in 2003 by Microsoft (it purchased Access Software in 1999). Since then the major golfing franchise has been made by EA Sports under the Tiger Woods brand.

This early history means that a lot of PC owners who may never have graced a real world fairway know how to smack a digital ball around. Golf games themselves have evolved and spread to consoles but they have always been about in one form or another on the PC.

A fully functional golf game played in your web browser.

It is on the PC that golf games are undergoing their next evolution. This week marks the launch of EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA Tour Online, part of a new generation of online games that have been dubbed Freemium products. This term refers to a business model in which the game is free to play, but real world cash can be spent to get in-game items and bonuses.

To facilitate this model the game runs in a browser, using a plugin called Unity 3D. It streams content over the internet as needed, and by using the browser EA is able to tie users in to its storefront with which you can by currency that you then spend on items in game.

 tiger-woods-online-1

 
You can play the game with other people or as a single player experience. No matter what, you can always access a live chat channel with others playing on the same course (thankfully you can also hide this if it becomes a bit much).

 

Until now EA has only used this model for more hardcore online titles, but with Tiger Woods Online it is pushing Freemium towards a much wider audience.

The best things in golf aren’t free

What this means for the end user is that the game is easy to get into. Simply go to the website, register for an account (or log in with an existing Ea.com account), download the small plugin and get playing. The game will limit you to a handful of courses and some basic gear at first. New game features are unlocked as you play the courses, and money is earned when you complete ‘achievements’ like landing a 200 yard drive or coming in under Par.

This in-game money is spent to upgrade your character or buy new items. Most of these items are cosmetic and time limited – a new pair of pants will only last for five rounds for some strange reason. On top of this you can spend real cash to buy ‘Points’, which can then be used in game to access a better range of items.

 

tiger-woods-online-2
This isn’t a case of EA selling the world’s most expensive pants, rather items with a cash price use the in-game currency that is earned while playing. Other items are only attainable with EA ‘points’ that one spends real world cash to procure.

 

A sign of the times

So while there is certainly a potential for Tiger Woods Online to drain one’s wallet of cash, the basic game can be experienced for free. For those who haven’t dipped their toes into the Golfing waters since Microsoft drove the Links franchise into the ground this is a great opportunity to try the genre with no strings attached.

It is also a sign of things to come, as games targeting a non-hardcore audience are pushed in the most accessible way. While a lot of talk about social gaming focuses on people building farms and spamming facebook with the results, titles like Tiger Woods Online show that big game companies are also putting serious effort into creating polished, professional products for free (as long as you like the standard colour pants).

Online poker overview

April 5th, 2010

Online-Poker-Large-Cards-Computer

Online poker is the game of poker played over the Internet. It has been partly responsible for a dramatic increase in the number of poker players worldwide. Christiansen Capital Advisors stated online poker revenues grew from $82.7 million in 2001 to $2.4 billion in 2005, while a survey carried out by DrKW and Global Betting and Gaming Consultants asserted online poker revenues in 2004 were at $1.4 billion.

Traditional (or “brick and mortar”, B&M, live) venues for playing poker, such as casinos and poker rooms, may be intimidating for novice players and are often located in geographically disparate locations. Also, brick and mortar casinos are reluctant to promote poker because it is difficult for them to profit from it. Though the rake, or time charge, of traditional casinos is often high, the opportunity costs of running a poker room are even higher. Brick and mortar casinos often make much more money by removing poker rooms and adding more slot machines.

Online venues, by contrast, are dramatically cheaper because they have much smaller overhead costs. For example, adding another table does not take up valuable space like it would for a brick and mortar casino. Online poker rooms also allow the players to play for low stakes (as low as 1¢/2¢)and often offer poker freeroll tournaments (where there is no entry fee), attracting beginners and/or less wealthy clientele.

Online venues may be more vulnerable to certain types of fraud, especially collusion between players. However, they have collusion detection abilities that do not exist in brick and mortar casinos. For example, online poker room security employees can look at the hand history of the cards previously played by any player on the site, making patterns of behavior easier to detect than in a casino where colluding players can simply fold their hands without anyone ever knowing the strength of their holding. Online poker rooms also check players’ IP addresses in order to prevent players at the same household or at known open proxy servers from playing on the same tables.

Free poker online was played as early as the late 1990s in the form of IRC poker. Planet Poker was the first online cardroom to offer real money games. The first real money poker game was dealt on January 1, 1998. Author Mike Caro became the “face” of Planet Poker in October 1999.

The major online poker sites offer varying features to entice new players. One common feature is to offer tournaments called satellites by which the winners gain entry to real-life poker tournaments. It was through one such tournament on PokerStars that Chris Moneymaker won his entry to the 2003 World Series of Poker. He went on to win the main event, causing shock in the poker world. The 2004 World Series featured three times as many players as in 2003. At least four players in the WSOP final table won their entry through an online cardroom. Like Moneymaker, 2004 winner Greg Raymer also won his entry at the PokerStars online cardroom.

In October 2004, Sportingbet, at the time the world’s largest publicly traded online gaming company (SBT.L), announced the acquisition of ParadisePoker.com, one of the online poker industry’s first and largest cardrooms. The $340 million dollar acquisition marked the first time an online cardroom was owned by a public company. Since then, several other cardroom parent companies have gone public.

In June 2005, PartyGaming, the parent company of the then largest online cardroom, PartyPoker, went public on the London Stock Exchange, achieving an initial public offering market value in excess of $8 billion dollars. At the time of the IPO, ninety-two percent of Party Gaming’s income came from poker operations.

In early 2006, PartyGaming moved to acquire EmpirePoker.com from Empire Online. Later in the year, bwin, an Austrian based online gambling company, acquired PokerRoom.com. Other poker rooms such as PokerStars that were rumored to be exploring initial public offerings have postponed them.

As of March 2008, there are fewer than forty stand-alone cardrooms and poker networks with detectable levels of traffic. There are however more than 600 independent doorways or ’skins’ into the group of network sites.  As of January 2009, the majority of online poker traffic occurs on just a few major networks, among them PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and the iPoker Network. The vast majority of high stakes action takes place on Full Tilt Poker, with the top ten winning players from 2008 all coming from this site.

As of February 2010, there are approximately 545 online poker websites. Within the 545 active sites, 16 are stand-alone sites (down from 40 in March 2008), the remaining 529 sites are called “skins” and operate on 21 different shared networks, the largest network being iPoker which has 68 skins operating on its network. Of all the online poker rooms PokerStars.com is deemed the world’s largest poker site by number of players on site at any one time.
