Dinner Party Ideas

Posted by admin in Fun Links, Miscellany, The Lifestyle Way

Dinner parties are a classic and warm way to entertain at home and can feature a homemade menu, a potluck feast or even a playful theme. A dinner party can be an economic way to observe a meaningful event. Even if you’re not a great chef, great dinner party ideas, themes, easy recipes and decorating hints are simple to do yourself and make your next party a hit.

Dinner Party Ideas

Just as the food does not have to be elaborate, a simple centerpiece is an perfect option for a last-minute dinner party. Leave elaborate floral arrangements. Just use what you already have around the house. Candles are a classic choice for the table, so group a bunch of them in the center. It does not matter if they are votives, pillars or in jars. Once illuminated, they will make a brilliant centerpiece.

Create a mix by changing up the style every few songs. Begin with a light mix, go to popular music and rock, and end the night on a high note with high-energy music guests can dance to. It doesn’t have to be a dance party - it is the energy of the music you’re going for, not the purpose to get guests swaying their hips! If you appear worried or are worrying things won’t go well, your guests will pick up on it as soon as they walk in the room. If you are laid back and have fun, everyone else will be too.

What Happens when You Expect to Win?

Posted by admin in Fun Links, Gambler Den, Games + Cheats

What Happens When You Expect to Win? Children used to be told that they should never expect good fortune to come to them. They were told that they should cross their fingers and hope, but never expect that lady luck would smile on them. If it so happened that the odds turned in their favor, they should settle for surprised. These children then grew up into an entire generation of poker players that were simply startled out of their wits when they happened to win. These poker online players never, ever assume that they will be on the right side of fortune. What happens when you reverse these well worn childish adages and take success, not as surprise, but as well earned reward? What happens when you expect to win? The simple, and surprising, truth is that players who expect to win are actually far more likely to walk away with the big pots. They know that they have the knowledge and skill to triumph at the table. Despite every attempt to fit, this satisfaction inevitably leaks out as they permeate self confidence. Self confidence has an intimidating effect. It’s a beautiful feedback loop that happens when the poker online players that expect to win actually do so. Why wouldn’t you want to be caught in this beautiful loop?

Poker Table Verbal Abuse Has Consequences

Posted by admin in Fun Links, Gambler Den, Games + Cheats

I know you’ve been there, in a poker hand where you’re totally ahead preflop, on the flop, on the turn, and seemingly on the river. You end up betting and extracting money, lots of it from a horrible poker player that’s been donating all night. But in this hand, on the river, he turns the absolute nuts over your second best hand. This is the same guy you were happy was a horrible poker player earlier, but now he’s just take a huge chunk of your money, and you’re not too happy with him. So you decide to berate him, tell him why his play was bad, and generally just start spewing venom at him. Problem is, this player isn’t a shark, nor does he claim to be. Actually, he’s a recreational player, and he’s really fishy, giving lots of money to the sharks at the table. Heck, you’ve even benefited from his lack of skill from time to time. But now you’re calling him every name in the book and generally criticizing his stupid play that took all your money. Well, let’s think about the consequences. First, being a recreational player, he doesn’t have to be skilled to play the game. He’s there for fun, sure winning is fun, but mostly he’s there to have a good time and gamble (read not play strategic poker). But when you start berating him, you’re actually hurting the poker economy. This guy is putting a lot of money into this poker room. And by making him feel bad about his play, you can only do two things. See you have to remember that even though we’re ruthless players on the felt, we’re also humans with emotions to go with it. So what you end up doing is either making the recreational player go home, study up, and get better, possibly surpassing you and starting to take your money regularly, or you discourage him to the point where he doesn’t want to play at all with you anymore, effectively eliminating his money from that part of the poker economy. So the next time you get sucked out on by a super donk who made a horrible call and hit a miracle card on the river, don’t berate, congratulate. Tell him, good hand, and just wait on him to make the same mistake again. Mathematically, you’ll make your money back if he continues to get in those situations with you, and at the same time you’re helping him not get better so you and your sharky friends can keep taking his money.

Two of My Favorite Gamecube Games

I know that the Nintendo Gamecube is now a vintage system, but I still have a couple of favorite games I like to play on my machine there. (Usually I post about popular board games, but I’ve been playing a marathon video game session today, so this is what I’m writing about.) I hope you enjoy this trip down video game nostalgia road as much as I do.

Metroid Prime - Gone is the old platform-based adventures of the original Metroid series. Instead, we’re treated to a sophisticated first-person shooter with tons of weapons, items, and armor to be tried out. Exploration is the name of the game, and players will spend hours looking for various passages and tunnels. The designs and graphics are simply beautiful, and this marks a huge leap forward for the franchise.

Animal Crossing - It looks like a game for children, but has been very popular with adults since its release. Your cartoonish character picks up pears, enters fishing tournaments, watches meteor showers, and interacts with the residents of the town. The graphics are nothing special, and neither is the sound. What seems to captivate gamers is the opportunity to live the simple life through their charming little round-headed character. Think of it as a highly simplified version of The Sims.

Drawing Value

Posted by admin in Fun Links, Gambler Den, Games + Cheats

First let me start off by saying that when you’re on a draw in hold ‘em online poker , there are three types: weak draws, big draws, and monster draws. Now your weak draws would consist of hands where you have a gutshot straight, a gutshot straight with a weak flush, or a really low flush. Your big draws obviously will be your openended straights, 4 to a flush on a monotone board (with A or K preferably) and a double gutshot. Your monster draws are of course openended straight flush draws, openended high straight draws with a flush, flush draws with top pair and sometimes undersets with one to the flush. Now, a lot of people misplay these online poker hands, as they’re great for semibluffing. As a matter of fact, semibluffing these draws is almost a standard play, and it gives you implied odds to call a reraise (the implication being that if you hit, you’re getting paid off huge). So which are the best to semibluff with? Obviously your monster draws will be the ones that get you paid the most. Since the monsters have so many outs, you can feel free to semibluff these even in early position. Your big draws I’d reserve for mid and late position as you get a chance to see what the field is playing before you decide to semibluff it. And your weak draws, well, those are best reserved for the button (and occasionally the cutoff) if the pot has been checked to you. That’s basically it on semibluffing draws in online poker . Learn to use this to your advantage and you’ll start getting paid off more than you would playing ABC straight poker. Hope it helps.

Ways to Read: Shaking Hand

Posted by admin in Fun Links, Gambler Den, Games + Cheats

If an opponent pushes in with trembling poker hands, that should set off some alarms in your head at the casino. The shaky hand is one of the only dead-on tells that you’ll ever find. Some players are always nervous, so make sure that the shaking you see is a new development, but when you see someone’s hand shake as they raise you, it means they’re very excited about the hand they’ve got. Unless you’ve got a killer hand, fold if someone shaky is raising you. This is harder to do playing poker online. Usually tells can lead you astray-they can have several different meanings, for instance, or the playing showing them can be doing so on purpose. Not so much with shaky hand-usually if someone is acting, they act stronger than they are. If someone is going to try to fake you out, you’ll be much more likely to see him trying to hold his hands still rather than making them shake. Fight your calling reflex when you see this tell. Even though you want to call, you’ll be glad that you folded. Tells like this one don’t come along very often, so when you see the shaky hand, take advantage of it and save your chips for a later hand.
