Learn Poker Jargon
Wed, 10/22/2008 - 11:26If you're going to try your luck at poker, and specifically Texas Holdem, it's a good idea to get to know some of the jargon. Some of the following terms are commonly used at a poker table, even in online Free Poker chat, so learning these terms will improve your ability to keep up with what is going on at the table.
Blinds - The blinds are forced bets that take the place of antes in Texas Holdem. There's a small blind and a big blind. Usually, the small blind is half the size of the big blind nad everyone else at the table is required to at least match the big blind in order to play the hand.
Freeroll - A freeroll is a poker tournament that does not have an entrance fee. Poker Freerolls typically are played online as a form of entertainment.
Draw - A draw is after the flop, when you need one more card to complete a straight or flush, and you are hoping to get that card on the turn or river.
Limit Poker - This is when the poker game you are in has fixed size bets. you can't go all in in this game unless you have less than the fixed amount.
Outs - Outs are cards that are remaining in the deck that will win you the hand.

When people say they are 'playing position' that usually means they have are playing very conservative in positions that are weaker, such as first to act after the big blind.

Poker Pre-Flop Strategies
Wed, 10/10/2007 - 17:56There's basically two schools of thought when discussing pre-flop strategies in Texas holdem. One says that it's ok to limp into a pot often, because the more flops you see, the more likely you are to hit something big. The other philosophy is to never limp into a pot, but instead always either raise or fold. One of the main considerations for me, when deciding which strategy to use is whether I'm playing online poker, or in a live game. I tend to be a little more aggressive when I play online, and a little more passive aggressive when I play in person. For some reason, I find that when I have a monster hand, I have more trouble luring them in, and stringing them along when I'm online that I do when I'm sitting at a table.
Many of the poker room reviews I've read have full-tilt or party poker as the top online poker sites. I've played and won at both, enjoying the opportunity to compete for free roll wsop qualifier seats at both sites. The competition is pretty stiff, though, and I find that if I play too aggressive, the really good players fold to a monster hand too quickly. Conversely, when I play online, if I don't raise pre-flop, opponents will often suck out with an inferior hand. For me, it all comes down to where I'm playing, and what position I am. I try to make a case by case decision on how I should play a hand, taking into consideration the texture and playing styles of those I'm playing against.

Sports Betting Tips
Wed, 10/10/2007 - 17:24If you've never tried your hand at sports betting before, then it's easy to be confused by all of the different types of ways you can bet. They usually vary from $2 parlays to a maximum bet of $5,000 at most sportsbooks. Sports betting is the only form of gambling in which the player is not in direct competition with the casino. In all other forms of gambling, from slot machines to craps, the house has a statistical advantage. but in sports betting, the player can actually gain the statistical advantage, when they can identify games in which the casino's odds do not accurately reflect the true, actual odds of the games outcome. Often, a casino's odds will change in order to compensate for heaving betting on one side. When this happens, usually you can gain a statistical advantage by placing a wager on the other team.
It's important that you find a sportsbook that you can trust. It's normally a good idea to check around and select one based on the sportsbook reviews you can find on the internet, or referred by a friend. The first thing you see when you enter a sportsbook are the listed odds of all major games being played that day or week. This is called the sportsbook's 'board', and these are the games that the sportsbook will accept wagers on. Usually, all NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL games will be on a sportsbook's board.

International Bingo Gaming for US Players
Tue, 10/09/2007 - 16:56By now, everyone has heard that the US passed legislation in 2006 that makes it difficult for US citizen to withdrawal money from their accounts on online gaming websites. Because of this, many of the online casinos and bingo halls have decided not to allow US citizens to participate in online gambling on their sites. Some websites, however, continue to offer casino games and bingo for US players under international law despite the US legislation. Because the legislation targets financial institutions and ISPs, international gaming websites are largely unaffected.
Some of the international gaming websites that continue to serve US players are based in Canada. Bingo in particular is extremely popular in Canada. Interestingly enough, even though there are lots of Canadian bingo gaming websites, there are very few that trade in the $CSD currency, preferring to deal in the US dollar, strongly indicating the persuasion of US players.
