•In the female brain called the E-type, empathizing is the dominant characteristic

•In the male brain called the S-type, systemizing is the dominant characteristic

•In the balanced brain called the B-type, both characteristics are finely balanced.

•Games can be played just for fun or for small stakes. One fear is getting into a game where the stakes are continually rising. But fixed cost games mean that if women want to bet, they know exactly how much they stand to win or lose.

Anecdotal evidence from the gambling industry suggests that traditional female traits such as assessing difficult situations, taking in information from multiple sources, make women ideal poker players.

The typical female player tends to be between 24 and 25, internet savvy, shops online and has a professional business career.

Don't let others dictate the way you play your game. One of the greatest things about playing online is that you avoid the intimidation some players have raised to an art form. If you're just not feeling it one day, stop playing. If you feel that you may need to learn a little more before you continue, don't be afraid to stop. Play your own game, and when you do, you'll always win.

Decide how you open a round based on the value of your hand. If it looks good, bet and go for it. If your not sure, check and follow the bets for a couple of rounds to see how it goes. There are certain percentages that govern the likelihood of your winning the pot. If it looks bad, remember you always have the option to fold.

You've heard the saying, "A penny saved is a penny earned." It works the same way with bankrolls. Think of it as a cushion, and whether you're playing big games or stay small, you'll always have that on your side. Furthermore, the more money you have, the more you may be willing to risk—which could mean you win more, but could also mean you lose more. Remember your skills. I love jelly rolls, btw!

We're not saying that you have to be psychic to excel at poker, but it would help. Unfortunately, playing poker online removes the "poker face" element of the game, but you can still get a read on the other people sitting at the table. Watch how fast they play, and how much they bet. It's fair to assume that a rookie with a great hand is going to put everything they have on that hand.

B) "Chop wood. Carry Water"

This is an old Zen phrase about enlightenment through discipline. Players should be very disciplined when it comes to the game of poker. Unless you're sitting on a pile of cash ready for the flame, you'll want to closely monitor the money that you're putting into your bankroll—and the money you're "giving" to the game.

Guilt does not pay in poker

* For the player seeking a profit, a good poker game is not one where titans of equal strength square off against each other. The law of the jungle rules the poker table. The secret of winning money consistently is to find games with players who play worse than you do. Successful players need weak players who obviously allow their money to be siphoned away by strong players. Guilt does not pay in poker, guile does, so make it a part of your strategy.

These are but a few poker strategy tips. In the long run, you have control of your own poker fate. Stay calm, don't play wildly and desperately and you should be alright.

Another good poker strategy

* Another good poker strategy is to note that the bluff is not as key an element of the game as you may think. Clever deception has its manifold pleasures, but it shouldn't be done indiscriminately. As part of your poker strategy, you can use the concept of pot odds to guide your bluffing. An occasional, not-too-costly "discovered bluff" (one that doesnt work) may also help you win bigger pots in later hands. Players may think you are a 'bluffer' and stay in when you actually do have a good hand.

A bad poker strategy

2006-04-23T17:14:00.000-07:00

A bad poker strategy is to play too many hands. Most players play way too many hands. You will win more by folding more often. This sort of discipline is difficult for the recreational player. If you read the experts' books, you'll see how they preach patience and discipline, and you'll be shocked by how many hands they say to throw away. Particularly in casinos, you have to play tight - there are more players at the tables and thus less of a chance that you'll have the best hand.

Pot Odds

2006-04-20T14:45:00.000-07:00

* Pot odds are really just another way of looking at expectation. It compares the amount of money in the pot to the amount of money you would have put in to continue playing. It helps answer the eternal question in poker strategy: "Is it worth it to continue in this hand?" To answer that, you always have to have a sense of card odds. Lets say the pot contains $100 and you need to put in $10 to continue playing. The pot odds are 10 - 1. If you have a better chance of winning than that, it's worth calling. When the card odds are better than the pot odds, it makes good poker strategy sense to get out. Have a 25-1 chance of getting that inside straight? Time to fold.

Poker Strategy

Online Poker holds a unique spot in the world of online casino games: it could be your best shot to earn money in the online casino or it could be an exercise in humiliation. What is the best poker strategy? Online poker is complex. It's complex, not because of its rules, but because of its variables: human behavior and ever-changing odds. There's no doubt that luck plays a major role in short term poker success but over the long run, poker is certainly a game of skill. Like any classic game of skill, poker demands study and practice from those who want to achieve mastery.

SPELLING GAMES

2006-03-27T07:14:00.000-08:00

SPELLING GAME 1: USE BOARD GAMES, SUCH AS MONOPOLY

Play any game that is normally played with dice with the child -- Monopoly, for example. The parent can continue to move her token forward in the normal way by throwing the dice, but the child must orally spell a word to move forward.

To select words that can be used, the parent can use words from the child's schoolwork that he often misspells. She must make word cards of these words. It is best to use not fewer than 20 words and not more than 30. When playing a board game, the same 20-30 words can be used, or if the child already knows how to spell them, other words can be selected. The parent must thoroughly shuffle the word cards, and then put them in a pile upside down on the table between the two (or more) players.

When it is the child's turn to play, the parent must take a word from the top of the pile and then say the word aloud. The child must spell the word. If the child spells the word correctly, he may move his token the same number of spaces as there are letters in the word. For example, for a word of seven letters he may move his token forward seven spaces. The word card is then put aside. If, however, he misspells the word, the parent must show the word to the child, and the child must spell the word aloud three times while looking at the word, and then three times without looking at it. Then the word is put at the bottom of the pile, so that it will come up again later. If the child misspells a word, he may also not move his token for that turn.

VIDEO GAME RENTALS

2006-01-01T18:23:00.000-08:00

VIDEO GAME RENTALS

Video games, though becoming more affordable and more exciting, are very expensive. Even after you have purchased your home gaming system, you still need to purchase the actual game to play on that system. That can be expensive since games can be as much as $60, $70, or even more. By using video game rental, you can curb that cost. Generally you can rent a game for just a few dollars and keep it for a few days. If you don’t play your system very often, then you have saved a lot of money you would have spent on purchasing the game. Video game rental can definitely be a real money saver.

Another reason to consider video game rental is for testing a game you are considering purchasing. If, for instance, you enjoy playing games and are willing to put down the money to purchase a certain game, you want to be sure you actually like it. What you can do is go out and get a video game rental of the game you are considering. For a few dollars you can play it for a day or so. If you don’t like it, then you are only out the cost of the video game rental. On the other hand, had you bought it and then found out you don’t like it, you may not be able to return it for the full purchase price

A final reason for considering a video game rental for games that may have a distinct ending. Some games, like adventuring games, have an end point. Once you have figured out how to win the game, it is useless to you. If you are good at adventure games and can win them quickly than you may find that you are forking out a lot of money for a game that is useless to you in a few days. A video game rental can save you that money.

Why No Limit Hold'em is better!

2005-12-31T18:52:00.000-08:00

If you are a tight-aggressive player, you need to consider playing No-Limit Hold 'em if you aren't already. With proper play, not only can you expect to increase your hourly win rate, but you can make it much more difficult for your opponents to draw out on you.

First of all, let's explain the fundamental differences between Limit and No-Limit. In Limit Hold 'em, you can only raise the amount of the big blind and most cardrooms and online poker rooms will cap the betting at 3 raises. In No-Limit Hold 'em, the only betting rule is that the minimum be at least the size of the big blind. You can bet your whole stack if you want to.

Sure, it takes more knowledge, experience, and courage to play No-Limit (NL) well, but it will pay off for you if you play it right.

To get you started, the standard raise in NL is 3-4 times the big blind. After the flop, a good bet to make when you have a strong hand is about the size of the pot. If you're looking for information on the flop, you might consider a bet of 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the pot. You also might consider making only a small bet if you're holding a monster hand and want to get called. Or you could always check-raise in that situation. Also be aware that the value of drawing hands that play well in limit games like K-J suited goes way down in NL play. Better hands to have are big pocket pairs or suited connectors.

So, why is it better to play NL? Simple: It's much easier to make a lot more money. Playing NL, you can afford to play only your strong hands. For example, in a two hour poker session you can play only one good hand and still make good money. You can more than double your stack on any given hand. In Limit poker, you have to constantly be winning pots to come out ahead. The blinds come around too quickly to sit on your hands. You have to work hard, play for a long time, and play your best game at all times to make good money at Limit poker.
