Poker Faces: The Life and Work of Professional Card Players

Written by dazsampsonco

David Hayano is a cultural anthropologist by profession. He studies people and the societies that they form. David Hayano is also a poker player. During the 1970s he was a “regular” at the Gardena poker clubs in Los Angeles County. As he spent more time playing poker in public card rooms, he couldn’t help but consider the people he met as a society. After considerable interest in some preliminary reporting he had done about this poker society, Hayano got to work on a systematic exploration of that culture. The result is the book Poker Faces: The Life and Work of Professional Card Players.

Poker Faces is unlike any other poker book I’ve ever read. This is neither a guide on how to win at the tables, nor is it a collection of stories or examination of the colorful characters that inhabit the places where poker is played. This is a scholarly work, exploring the types of people who regularly inhabit California card rooms. While it does not require an advanced degree in the social sciences to understand this book, it is not light reading either. Poker Faces is aimed at a narrower audience than the average “How to Win Huge at Poker” treatise.

While the book is focused on “professional” poker players, it is difficult to objectively judge who fits this categorization and who doesn’t. This is a pitfall the author understands well, but the classification of professional in this book is largely one of self-selection, and perhaps “card room …

How Can You Preserve a Diamond Painting?

Written by dazsampsonco

Is There Something I Can Use To Finish & Seal Diamond Painting?

Every diamond painter knows the feeling: You have just finished a masterpiece of art you have been working on for weeks. Your painting is beautiful, with every gem sparkling and perfectly in place. You go through the laborious process of mounting your painting on the wall, and it looks fantastic. You take detours around your house specifically so you can walk through the room it is in and admire it. You have never been so proud of anything you have created in your life. But one day, as you are passing through, you see it – one gem is missing. You find the gem on the floor. The next day, three more gems are gone, and your cat has batted the gems under the couch before you can pick them all up. What is happening?? Your beautiful piece of art is falling apart!

It is a common theme in diamond painting. While the gems are designed to stick to the canvas forever, it is only natural that over time, gravity will begin to take its toll on your masterpiece. Slowly, gems will begin to fall. You may be thinking, what is even the point of taking up diamond painting if my final product will lose its sparkle over time? But the thing is, not every painting needs to gradually lose its luster. There are steps an expert diamond painter can take to protect their artwork and ensure …

The Key to Success in Texas Hold’em

Written by dazsampsonco

Various “experts” may disagree on the relative importance of different factors in becoming a successful Texas Hold ‘Em player, but high on everyone’s list is the ability to make correct decisions about which starting hands are worth playing.

 

While one can err in the direction of being too tight (i.e., playing too few hands), most observers would agree that beginning Hold ‘Em players are much more likely to err in the opposite direction and play too many hands. In all poker variations, especially at the lower limits, the newcomer will pay a higher penalty for being too loose than being too tight. Given this proclivity to play too many hands and the unpleasant consequences of this behavior, it is probably excellent advice for the beginning player to pay special attention to the task of identifying hands that have the best chances of winning the money. There will come a time when other factors, such as the desire to be deceptive, the need to “play the players,” post-flop strategies, the significance of position, the importance of “table image,” etc., will need to be mastered, but these are complex and subtle issues that are very difficult to quantify.

 

Fortunately for the novice, one skill that lends itself to fairly easy quantification is the question of determining worthwhile starting hands. What follows is a very easy method of using simple math to objectively identify winning hands.

 

STEP ONE: Add the value of your two cards using the scale below:

10 tips untuk mendapatkan bonus Togel Hongkong sambil menjaga kasino tetap bahagia

Written by dazsampsonco

Jika ada sesuatu yang dibenci kasino, itu adalah seseorang yang bermain hanya untuk mendapatkan bonus.

Memang, mereka membawanya pada diri mereka sendiri untuk menawarkan bonus di tempat pertama – tapi pasti alasan untuk menawarkan bonus ini adalah agar Anda mencoba permainan mereka, dan mudah-mudahan menjadi pelanggan tetap. Selain itu mereka pasti berharap Anda akan kehilangan semuanya kembali dan banyak lagi …

Namun, ada banyak pemain di luar sana yang dapat memperoleh kehidupan yang layak hanya dengan bermain untuk bonus – memenuhi persyaratan taruhan minimum dan hanya memainkan permainan yang menawarkan tingkat menang/kalah yang mendekati 50-50. Dan jika para pemain ini memberi kasino alasan terkecil untuk mendiskualifikasi mereka, Anda dapat yakin bahwa kasino akan menggunakan opsi itu – terkadang adil, terkadang tidak adil.

Jika Anda berniat bermain hanya untuk bonus, Anda harus menyamarkan permainan Anda agar tidak terkena bendera merah karena suatu alasan atau lainnya. Mungkin Anda harus mengeluarkan sedikit dari keuntungan Anda – tetapi itu sepadan kecuali Anda memiliki kesabaran untuk bertahan selama berminggu-minggu atau berbulan-bulan, dan tanpa hasil yang dijamin.

Dengan mengingat hal itu, berikut adalah beberapa rekomendasi untuk menyamarkan permainan Anda.

Jangan hanya memenuhi persyaratan taruhan minimum mutlak. Karena sebagian besar pemain bagus akan mendapatkan keuntungan setelah memenuhi persyaratan, saya sarankan untuk mengambil sisa keuntungan dan memainkannya sekali atau Pengeluaran HK dua kali lagi – lagi pula, Anda bermain dengan uang mereka sekarang dan Anda bahkan dapat menghasilkan lebih banyak – dan jika Anda kalah, Anda masih mendapatkan investasi awal Anda kembali.

Bersabarlah jika bonus tidak langsung muncul …

Top 10 Reshuffles On CoinMarketCap: Ethereum vs. Ripple, Nem vs. Litecoin & More Crypto Gambling

Written by dazsampsonco

As Bitcoin continues to grow, some altcoins are not being left behind either. Last week there was an intense competition on the Top 10 of CoinMarketCap with some casualties being posted.

It was so engrossing to see some old cryptocurrencies uprooted from their longstanding positions. This registered the fact that no entity has a monopoly over a particular position.

Ethereum lost to Ripple

Smart Contract king, Ethereum in a very surprising circumstance lost its long-held number two spot to snowballing Bank Transfer giant Ripple. Fascinatingly, within the week it doubled its value and it was near twice the value of Ethereum.

Rising almost 40 percent, its market cap was over $15 bln. It has now lost almost $2 bln and Ethereum is now closing the gap. Actually, it was the second best-performing cryptocurrency on the top 10 last week.

Yet still, Ripple leads Ether with almost $2 bln in Market Cap. Some analysts in the space are strongly convinced it is likely that it will recover and take back the number two position it nearly monopolized for a couple of years.

It remained to be seen since Ripple keeps making deals with banks around the world expanding its portfolios. Anyway, Ethereum with no doubt as well has become a popular smart contract platform.

NEM pushed Litecoin

In a related development, on Thursday fast-growing NEM also pushed SegWit trailblazer, Litecoin to the fifth rank and became the world’s fourth most valuable digital currency. This was when the Ethereum Token rose a …

Agen Joker123 Casinos Trade Traffic with CasinoPopup.com

Written by dazsampsonco

Montreal-based Webstorm Media, a leading Internet gambling marketing firm, has launched a new service that routes unused exit traffic between casinos and gaming sites. The service is called CasinoPopup.com.

 

Here’s how it works: When a visitor leaves a gaming site without playing, a browser window opens in the background. This window contains another CasinoPopup partner, who then trades its exit traffic to other members. For every two visitors that leave their site, they receive one quality player from a partner site.

 

“Members don’t have to worry about losing loyal clients,” said Ilan Artzy, director of operations at Montreal-based WebStorm Media. “Regular site visitors aren’t lured away by competitors because the browser window only opens when the user hasn’t played on the current site. CasinoPopup gives members quality traffic in exchange for their ‘wasted’ traffic.”

 

Artzy said that CasinoPopup applicants are carefully screened to ensure their standing in the industry. Once approved, they receive the HTML code, which is easily added to their web sites. Members can track their statistics, checking the quantity and quality of the traffic. Statistics are provided online, in real-time, using member tracking codes.

 

“Recovering players from other good sites in the industry is an ingenious way to share leads without jeopardizing our established clientele,” said John Dunkley from Ace King Club Casino. “Highly targeted gaming traffic is valuable to us and it only makes sense to circulate prospective players.”

 

Similar exit traffic services are offered by Gambling Tour and Cluster Traffic.…
