Class Memories

Auto Date Thursday, November 18th, 2010

For the initial quarter or so of our lives, school and college constitute the greater part of our memories. We remember our friends, out teachers and our classes and our subjects. As time goes on, of course, other priorities take top billing and we slowly drift away from school and its memories. However, for those of us who are just about to graduate, for those of us who have just received our academic gowns for graduations and for those of us who are going to be stepping out into the real world for the first time, things can be just a little trying. After all, it is not easy to leave behind the only world you have ever known. It may be called graduation, but to some of us, it seems like a sudden, blunt end. We always knew we were going to have to don the graduation gowns and caps, that’s a no-brainer, but it is just that when something is always hanging out there somewhere in the future, we don’t expect it to ever come looking for us. After all, what is in the future should stay in the future shouldn’t it? But, I suppose the quantum physicists are right, after all. It is not time that moves, it us that move through its dimensions. The trajectory is ours, it is just another entity. Oh, how one wishes that a device could be built that could alter our trajectory through the fourth dimension, or at least control it (how many takers for a reverse gear?).
We spend so much of our early lives in school that it is hard to imagine a world without it. I mean, what would we complain about if we didn’t have homework? And what would we talk about if not the new admissions? I for one cannot fathom living a life without school. There are those of us who would argue that play time is more important, but in my opinion, we valued play time more because of school, not in spite of it. School teaches us to value things in life, to get organized, to get some perspective. I remember finishing up a lengthy assignment during a hectic all-night session and then swearing to myself that I would never, not ever, procrastinate. If it wasn’t for school and that assignment in particular, I would have never learned my lesson. Academic gowns for graduation ceremonies seem to me to be some sort of symbols that signify that the caring shadow of school is going to be lifted and from now on we are going to have to learn our own lessons. Wearing the caps and gowns for high school graduation is like nailing the coffin shut completely and totally. I suppose I should remember school life for what it was and move on, but that doesn’t mean that I cannot at least honor it with a few words.

Halloween Party Ideas Sure to Impress Your Guests

Auto Date Monday, October 11th, 2010

This year, ditch the conventional (and garish) black and orange Halloween color combo in favor of an all-white palette that is spooky yet posh. The color of choice for haunts and ghosts, white is a perfect halloween party hue thanks to its wintry connotations. Plus, it’s an unforeseen choice, which makes it that much more visually fascinating and noteworthy to guests.

Halloween Party

With Casper as aspiration, a kids Halloween party with a friendly ghost theme has the right mix of tricks and treats. Invite the young ghouls to come dressed up, but you can also have them make ghastly masks as part of the fun. Other ideas include frightful decorations, frightful snacks and a friendly ghost hunt.
And don’t forget the games! ‘Tis the season for that super sweet kernel of candy corn that everyone can agree reminds them of Halloween past, present, and, most likely, future! Besides eating all of that candy corn that may be lying around your household this week, you can also play some festive and simple games with these bright candy kernels.

No fete is complete without a little decor. From now until the end of the year is a crafters dream. From Halloween through Thanksgiving and right into the holiday season, there are more reasons to embellish and create than any other time of the year. So let the creativeness commence! Candy corn, the ubiquitous Halloween candy, was the idea for this floral centerpiece. It is made entirely out of carnations with a floral foam base. Since carnations come in so many exquisite colors, including orange and yellow, and are long lasting they were a smart choice for this project.

Slick Play with King as Top Pair

Auto Date Monday, September 13th, 2010

Hands like KQs are great hands to play in position, but there is always a lingering feeling that anytime an Ace hits the board at Everest, you’re immediately put into a hard position.

A recent hand I observed shows one of the more clever lines to take when you flop a strong top pair in the form of a king. On the button you hold KJ hearts. Blinds are 50-100. The person under the gun raises to 300. This is usually an indicator of a strong hand, usually AA, KK, QQ, or a suited ace. KK is unlikely here since you hold one of the kings.

On the button, you decide to call. The flop comes. K-Q-8 rainbow. So you’re sitting pretty strong here unless you’re up against AK. Under the Gun online poker player decides to check here instead of c-bet. What does this mean? He either totally bricked on the flop, or he’s slow playing one of three hands. AK, KQ, or KJ or less. The KJ is less likely since most people aren’t opening UTG with a marginal holding and you have both a King and a Jack in your hand.. In fact, any hand with a King in it is less probable by virtue of your king.

So that leaves the most probably scenarios as AA or A-x suited. The check makes sense on both of these. You here, decide to check behind.

The turn comes 6 spades, putting two spades on the board for a potential flush draw. But as far as pairs go, you’re still sitting great.

UTG checks again on the turn, this is almost certain weakness, so on the button, here is where you can extract a little value. A modest bet here, about 250, just under half the pot is all the value you can legitimately expect to gain from this hand. A pot sized bet would most likely lead to a fold, but a smaller stab bet may make it look like you’re just playing position and shooting at the pot with high card. If your opponent has and Ace and reads the play this way, then he’s going to try to out-high-card you.

So he calls, an now the pot is 1150. Again, UTG checks. This gets suspicious, is he setting you up for a second check raise? Possibly. The turn comes 2 of diamonds. Now we don’t worry about the ace. Two pairs are unlikely on this board because of the low cards and texture, and there are not flushes out there. The only hand you have to worry about is AK, but the two prior checks also make this holding unlikely. So you again, put out a half pot bet. Your opponent calls, showing A-10 spades, and you take it down with your strong one pair king.

Your hesitance to play at him, in fact sabotaged his thinking into believing that your bets were a bluff. This is called extracting value by representing a bluff. Remember this next time you play online poker.

Poker TV

Auto Date Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

I have long been one of those people that complained that there are too many online poker shows on TV. Not that I don’t enjoy watching poker online on TV. I remember watching broadcasts of the U.S. World Championships late night on ESPN, before the advent of the hole cam, when the announcers had to guess what hands the players had. And certainly, Chris Moneymakers amazing run in the 2003 World Series of Poker was exciting television. But there’s just way too many poker shows on TV now, and they’re all virtually the same.

That said, I came across an interesting poker show that at least tries to dome some different and interesting. High stakes Poker has a unique format, as it doesn’t take place in a tournament setting, but rather is just a high stakes cash game among poker pros. It also has a number of well-known internet players, such as Tom Dwan, as regulars. The show has a more casual feel, with players making side wagers and changing rules as they go along. If you ever see it on TV, it’s worth a watch. You may pick up some tricks for when you sign up for Everest Poker telecharger.

The Popularity of Poker

Auto Date Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

A lot of people are wondering if we will start seeing a “renaissance” of sorts in the poker online world, with the field size of tournaments getting smaller and pros winning most of the events. Now certainly, even if the supposed “poker online boom” is over, the game is still popular enough that tournaments at rooms like Everest Poker will never go back down to the size they were in the 1970’s, oe even 1995 when there were 273 entrants in the World Series of Poker main event. But I think the second point, about more pros winning the big events rather than amateurs, may start to happen again. Since 2002, when Robert Varkonyi, every WSOP winner has been an amateur, or at least semi-amateur. But I think as the size of tournaments shrinks a bit to more reasonable levels, there will be more pros winning major events. Certainly, the first WSOP main event that a big time name, such as Daniel Negreneau or Phil Ivey, wins it will be a big story. I for one am pulling for something like that to happen. It will always make televised poker that much more exciting. I know I would be watching.

The Art of Comedy

A good caper definitely is an example of one which is about you. You could also speak of precisely what others may well be thinking and in effect, the comedian will take the hit for them.
