However, there are some tips you need to follow to make sure that you can play some really hot games.</p>
<p>First of all, remember that you are never due a win.  A win is not due to you, not ever.  Gambling is based around math, not fairness.</p>
<p>It is always better to play the field, if you will.  Every casino on the internet is different.  Take advantage of that by trying out the games and interfaces offered by different online casinos.</p>
<p>You also want to be on the lookout for progressives.  Progressive jackpots can get really big.  However, only play these when they are high.</p>
<p>Two words: bonus cash.  Playing at the casinos which offer deposit bonuses is the best way to go &#8212; but figure out the fine print first.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been playing the $10/$20 game semi-professionally for about two months now, and I decided to make a quick overview post for you still reading this blog:</p>
<ol>
<li>Started with a $20,000 bankroll, which I know is small, but it&#8217;s all I had and I didn&#8217;t want to play the $5/$10 game as it&#8217;s a tough one in my local casino.</li>
<li>Had an excellent start, which is obviously very lucky&#8230; It&#8217;s great to start on a hot streak. <img src='http://gfkpoker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I won $14k in the first 3 weeks and ended my first month with a $35,000 BR. I was pretty happy. <img src='http://gfkpoker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li>Had a minor downswing in the first week of month two, went down to $28,000, but then lapsed back in a HUGE night in which I won $14,000 thanks to two straight flushes, one against a full boat &#8212; and am now still over $40,000 at the moment&#8230;</li>
</ol>
<p>Long story short, after two months I&#8217;ve doubled my bankroll and I&#8217;ve only had one real downswing. I&#8217;m pretty happy and I&#8217;ve decided to take $10,000 out of my bankroll to invest it in a mutual fund. If one day I want to pay off my <a href="http://aboutmortgageloan.com/">mortgage loan</a> with my poker profits, I might as well start investing it wisely. <img src='http://gfkpoker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>High Stakes Poker is a very populair Poker show what takes the <a href="http://www.bet-office.com/nl/online-poker/pokerhal-online.php">online poker</a> high stakes to a live poker high stakes cash game. </p>

The big difference from the games in online casinos and online poker rooms is that you can really see the poker players emotions.</p>
<p>If you are in a land based kasino you can always see the emotions on the players face and for poker thats the best thing their is. If the player make a bluff in <a href="http://www.bet-office.com/de/online-poker/">poker online</a> you can not see it from their face.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Along with the meteoric rise of Texas hold’em came a wave of new poker-based table games.  Today, the most popular among these is three card poker, which has now replaced Caribbean stud in a number of casinos.  If you’ve ever played the game, this should come as no surprise, as three card poker is easy to learn and offers some impressive payouts.<img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-11 alignright" style="float: right;" title="3 card poker" src="http://gfkpoker.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/3-card-poker-150x150.jpg" alt="3 card poker" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>A three card poker table is set up similarly to that of a blackjack table, with seats for several players positioned across from a single dealer.  In front of each seat are three circles – one marked ‘Play’, one marked ‘Ante’, and a third, yellow one marked ‘Pair Plus.’  To begin a hand of three card poker, the player must post a bet in the Ante circle.  He also has the option of placing a bet on the Pair Plus.  Then, the dealer will distribute three cards to each player and to herself.  Once the player has seen his cards, he may either fold or play.  If he folds, the ante wager is forfeited and the hand is over for that player.  If he wants to play his cards, he must place a bet equal to the ante on the Play circle.</p>
<p>Once all of the players have either called or folded their hands, all the cards are turned over. As in <a title="blackjack online" href="http://www.123blackjackonline.com/">blackjack</a>, the player need only defeat the dealer, not the other patrons at the table.  Card rankings follow traditional poker rules, including pairs, straights, and flushes, though with three cards there can be no two pair or full house hands.  The only catch is that the dealer must have at least a queen high for the hand to qualify.  If all of his cards are below a queen and he doesn’t have a pair, three of a kind, a straight, or a flush, then the Play bet is a push (it gets returned to the player) and the Ante pays even money.  If the dealer’s hand qualifies, then all winning players are paid even money on the Ante and Play bets while losing players lose both.</p>
<p>In addition to the even money payouts, three card poker offers the player extra odds on the Ante and Pair Plus circles.  The Ante bet usually pays 1 to 1 on a straight, 3 or 4 to 1 on a three of a kind, and 4 or 5 to 1 on a straight flush.  Payouts on the Pair Plus always pay even money for a pair but vary on other hands: flushes pay approximately 4 to 1, straights 6 to 1, three of a kinds 30 to 1, and straight flushes 40 to 1.  This means that the minimum payout for a straight flush on a $5 table would be $200.  As an added bonus, some casinos offer a ‘Mini Royal Flush’ – a suited A/K/Q – that pays 200-1!</p>
<p>Though simple in comparison to variants such as <a href="http://ustmib.com/c/texas-holdem/">Texas hold’em</a> or seven card stud, three card poker can still provide a fix for players hankering for a quick, easy game of poker.  It can be learned in the course of a few hands and has an exciting pay structure that keeps the player interested.  Better yet, the house edge is modest, ranging from about 3%-4.25% on the ante bet, depending on the specific <a href="http://casinocasino.tv/">casino</a> rules.  So next time you are thinking about trying a new and exciting table game, consider three card poker as your new form of gambling entertainment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I played a live sit&amp;go at the local casino today, and went out trying to bluff a calling station on a 49TQK board with a buster flushdraw. Got called down for 80% pot with pocket sixes.</p>
<p>I said: &#8220;nice call man, I was hoping you had a hand like that and you&#8217;d lay it down&#8221;.</p>
<p>He replied: &#8220;I was pot committed, couldn&#8217;t fold for only 75 more.&#8221;</p>
<p>I said: &#8220;Dude, the pot was like 95!&#8221;</p>
<p>He finished me off with a: &#8220;Seriously? Oh, I thought we checked the turn &#8212; oh no, you&#8217;re right, you bet. Damn, hahahahaha I got lucky!&#8221;</p>
<p>I went to the bathroom and killed myself.</p>
<p>Oh no. Wait. I didn&#8217;t. I went and had a nice WanTan soup, walked to a cash game, won 3 buy-ins to the the SnG and went home.</p>
<p>Life is cruel.</p>
