Comparing the UFA Chauvinist Man to a Macho Man

game

I haven’t read the book yet, but I heard of a new book critical of the feminist movement. It’s Ceasefire: Why Women and Men Must Join Forces to Achieve True Equality (Free Press), by Cathy Young, a reporter for the Boston Globe.

The message of the book is relevant to women who play poker. The message is that the feminist movement has moved from a movement aimed at equality to one aimed at giving women the upper hand in society. Young thinks that’s a bad thing. Whether you agree with that or not, it has some relevance to poker, where women are often seen moaning about a lack of equality in poker rather than using the situation to gain an advantage.

Women poker players can usually profit by adjusting their game to exploit the foibles of male opponents. Different kinds of men call for different approaches, sometimes the differences between male stereotypes can be subtle. Two different kinds of men are those that I call chauvinists and those I call macho.

Chauvinists

Chauvinistic men who tend to think all women are weak, predictable, tight players and that women have good judgment. He’ll tend to try to be tricky when playing against women and he’ll tend to ignore any information he might be able to get from observation of a woman.

Macho men can’t stand to let a woman win or take control of the UFA betting. This kind of man can’t stand to lose, and especially can’t stand to lose to a woman. He’ll tend to develop an acute case of FPS trying to outplay an aggressive woman. He’s usually doomed.

Playing chauvinistic men.

In a previous article, I talked about playing to exploit a chauvinistic man. They tend to react to aggressive women with hyperaggression of their own when they fear their hand is second best and that’s an easily exploitable tendency.

Playing macho man

You should play against a macho player in a similar way that you’d play against a chauvinist, but you need to be more careful. The macho player is not likely to try to play …

Poker Ligaz11 Down Under

game

January was a huge month for Poker in Australia with the completion of The Australasian Championship and the inaugural Poker Ashes taking place at Crown Casino in Melbourne.

The main No Limit Holdem event was won by Melbourne local, John Maver, who took home $150,000. This is the largest single tournament win of any Poker event ever held in Australia with a prizepool totalling $330,000 of which Melbourne locals claimed more than 80%. The Hendon Mob featured on the final table with their lone representative of Ross Boatman taking out 10th place.

With all the talk prior to the start of the Championship it wasn’t long before the Poker Ashes came into conversation and an event was created. The format was each member of the Hendon Mob were to compete against any four players that wished to accept the challenge in a heads up format. Unfortunately for the Aussies, the English proved too good and claimed the $20,000 that was up for grabs. Most importantly The Ashes were created from the hat of Billy “the Croc” Argyros which was ceremoniously cremated by Australian Cricketer Shane Warne. It’s great to see players take a lighthearted view of what was a very enjoyable week.

Casino Canberra will hold the National Poker Championship in February and are expecting a good attendance. Australian players have always enjoyed this event and I am sure that this year will be no exception.

Ryan Hartley and Casino

game

CHUCK – InterCasino is one of the most respected and successful casinos on the Internet. What’s the secret to your success?

RYAN – It’s a combination of things: the number and quality of our games, game features such as multiplayer capability and real time chat, and fair odds that are in compliance with New Jersey Casino Control Commission. Also, Cryptologic our Ecash provider, is a leader in processing secure electronic transactions over the Internet. This guarantees our players that their funds are safe and payoffs for their winnings are fast. Finally, we provide 24/7 technical/customer support.

When did you first open for business?

We accepted our first real money wager November 19, 1996.

Multiplayer games are a relatively new feature at InterCasino. How have they been received by players?

Multiplayer games are some of the most popular games at InterCasino. When players are able to sit at a table and watch each other play, the fun factor in the game increases. The social interaction is identical to a land-based casino. It gives new players an increased confidence level while playing at InterCasino. They can ask regular players questions about pay outs, wins, trust and all the other issues that a new player may have. It’s really hard for a player to gain confidence in your product if they do not have contact with other players.

What are the most popular games at InterCasino?

The Blackjack tables (single and multiplayer) are the most popular games we offer. However, Let It Ride Poker, Slot Machines and Video Poker Machines are also popular.

What’s the biggest jackpot you’ve ever paid out?

InterCasino paid out $50,000 to one of our Let It Ride players and then in less than one week paid out $40,000 to another Let It Ride player.

Everyone loves comps. Are you currently offering any comps or special bonuses?

We have a generous comp point program. InterCasino is constantly rewarding our 789 Players Club members with promotional drawings for trips for two. One of our current promotions is offering new players a chance to win a week in Monte Carlo, Monaco …

Changing of the Guard

game

Contrary to popular belief, there are more than just two great players — Padraig Parkinson and Donnacha O’Dea — in Ireland.

The likes of Peter Roche, boasting a win in Vienna’s EWSOP Trial and a fourth-place finish in the Paris leg of the World Poker Tour in just two European appearances in 2004, along with 2002 World Series of Poker finalist Scott Gray and 1999 WSOP winner Noel Furlong, are like Rollers and Jags on a prestige pre-owned car lot.

However, new high-performance models will eventually hit the streets, and the question is, who will fast-track their way along the poker highway in the coming years?

It’s a fact that O’Dea’s young son, Eoghan, is playing in weekly tournaments and small cash games with apparent success. Progression onto the bigger stage would seem logical, although Eoghan’s pursuit of a career as a tennis coach is taking immediate priority.

Also, 22-year-old Kevin Maloney has impressed many at both of Dublin’s cardrooms. Supporting his computer science studies through his hours at the tables, Maloney rates as a consistent winner with a big future.

However, there is a small problem … “I’m undecided about attempting to make poker my profession,” explains Maloney. “I love the game and enjoy the mental challenge. Yes, I’d also like to play in the World Series and go on the circuit, but you need a tank for that. At the moment, I’m considering taking a master’s degree once my current course is complete. That will give me another year of poker playing whilst studying, and then I’ll make a decision on the future.”

Maybe young David O’Callaghan is the big Irish star of the future. From a Poker Online Pkv playing family — his elder brother Nial and father John both play — the 21-year-old belied his odds and inexperience to finish second in the opening event of the European Poker Tour in Barcelona in September.

He could become a major-name player, but he is another who’s mixing his time at the tables with full-time study. His subject is philosophy and the scales are dipping toward a conventional …

Insider’s Guide To Judi Slot Online Gambling

game

There was a time when a new book on Internet gambling was something of an event, but today a new book on the subject can sit around a while before being noticed. Such has been the case with John G. Brokopp’s Insider’s Guide To Internet Gambling (Bonus Books Inc., 2001).

Nothing against this particular book but with dozens of web sites, magazines, books, television shows, and newspaper articles making hash out of the same old information it’s hard to get excited about yet another offering of it.

Brokopp does, however, deserve credit and commendation for being the most down-to-earth writer on the subject I have ever read. In the first 30 pages of this book, you’ll have a very clear picture of what Internet gambling is and what you can expect if you decide to wager. He tells it straight and true.

In spite of what’s indicated in the Table of Contents (more on this later), there are three basic areas covered: 1) What is Internet Gambling and how do I do it?; 2) Game and betting analysis; and 3) Tips on choosing a casino, a web site, etc.

I could go into each section in detail but let’s opt for brevity on this one. As much as I praise Brokopp’s approach, I’m afraid to say that if you’ve spent any time at all Judi Slot Online gambling online, you probably won’t find many surprises in this book. If you’re a total newbie or just getting your feet wet, by all means enjoy. But I can’t say that I learned much, or anything, at least not about Internet gambling.

What I did learn was a whole lot about horse racing, handicapping and the rest of the equestrian scene on the web. Clearly this is Brokopp’s pet subject and I’d bet it’s why he wrote the book in the first place.

A big tip-off is the subtitle “Special Section on Horse Racing” on the cover pages, but the proof is the way Brokopp delivers this material with a healthy dose of affection. I’ll even admit to getting a little misty-eyed every …

Casino Reality Brings the Slot Online Game to Life

game

The big difference between online casinos and their land-based counterparts is the lack of a dealer; casino software controls the game when you’re playing on the Net instead of the person behind the table. New technology from Casino Reality changes that by adding a live dealer to the online game, but does it improve the experience?

Casino Reality uses proprietary technology to broadcast casino games live over the Internet via a streaming video link, from a table operated by a real croupier. Bettors place wagers via a Flash game client and cards are tracked using a multi-faceted Java system. A chat feature and video are embedded in the browser window, and everything occurs in real-time. It’s like you’re right there at the games table. Sort of.

The Casino Reality technology doesn’t require a download and players are able to connect to a live broadband feed using a number of different options, although high-speed cable or ADSL will be the most reliable. Both PC and Mac platforms are supported, and Flash-based games mean most gamblers should be able to just sign up and play.

Caroline Steele, Marketing Manager at Casino Reality, believes the company’s product stands out from other online gambling software packages because of “the combination of convenience, user experience and the fact that all our games are based on luck not [the] random number generators” other Net casinos use. She also notes that, “each visit and game gives bettors a different and more personal experience,” in part because of chat features that allow players to talk to the dealer and other gamblers at the table.

Graphics for the Casino Reality product are as good or better than average, but the product falls a little flat when you look at the range of games. There’s a choice of three, to be precise, and while that may be fine if you’re fanatical about roulette, baccarat, or sic bo, it will be a problem if you’re looking for something else. Casino Reality is working on Blackjack at the moment and plans to add more games in the future.

DAVE MACKAY DIES, IFAB HONOURS PK INVENTOR AND PARMA ON THEIR LAST LEGS

* Tottenham legend Dave MacKay has died aged 80. The Scottish midfielder epitomised the midfield enforcer in British football in the 1960s, forming a flowering partnership with Spurs’ elegant skipper Danny Blanchflower.

MacKay was part of their legendary 1961 double-winning side and went on to captain the club. He also played for Hearts, Derby and Swindon and won 22 caps for Scotland and was voted joint footballer of the year in 1969 with Tony Book.

George Best called him “the hardest man I have played against and certainly the bravest,” and his role in helping Brian Clough lift Derby to the first division in 1969 was commemorated in the film The Damned United, where he was played by Brian McCardie.

MacKay went on to manage Derby, where he won the league, Nottingham Forest, Walsall, Doncaster Birmingham and several clubs in the Middle East.

* Nice to see FIFA’s International Board pledging to restore the grave of William McCrum, the man who invented the penalty kick in 1890 but died alone, alcoholic and broke in 1932.

McCrum was a barrister from Armagh and was involved in Northern Ireland’s linen trade as well as the Belfast-based Irish Football Association. His Situs Online Judi Terbaik 2021 suggestion to penalise cynical attempts to stop goals initially drew criticism as it was perceived to go against Victorian values of fair play!

But in 1891 it was adopted as Rule 13 in the laws of the game. Penalty shoot-outs are a Spanish invention by Raphael Ballester in 1962, adopted by UEFA in 1971 and FIFA in 1982.

McCrum’s home is a museum and he is buried in the cemetery of St Mark’s Church, Armagh, Northern Ireland.

* Britain’s Conservative Party were rumoured to be seeking Sol Campbell or Frank Lampard’s signature as prospective members of parliament this week. Lampard was quick to deny any possibility though Campbell has been vocal on issues affecting high-earners like himself.

The bets are off at these Togel Singapore bookie centres

game

Three counting centres, believed to belong to an illegal bookmaking syndicate, were raided by city police over the weekend.

During the raids, police arrested 10 men and two Thai women to facilitate investigations into the syndicate which was allegedly raking in about RM2 million in bets on horse racing and English Premier League soccer matches.

On Saturday, five of the men and the Thai women were caught collecting bets when police raided a unit on the 10th floor of the Pangsapuri City in Cheras at 12.30pm.

SEIZED: City CID chief Abdul Aziz Bulat (left) shows off gambling chips seized during one of the three raids over the weekend

City CID chief Senior Assistant Commissioner II Abdul Aziz Bulat told reporters that police seized 90 betting slips for horse-racing and football matches, a laptop, 12 cell phones, a fixed phone, 12 post-dated cheques and a pager.

Initial investigations showed the Togel Singapore counting centre was handling up to RM800,000 worth of bets since it began operations two months ago.

From information provided by the suspects, police raided another unit on the sixth floor of the same apartment and arrested a 44-year-old man.

Police also seized 48 decks of cards, several card dispensers and casino chips with a face value of more than RM8 million in the second unit.

Aziz said investigations showed the man had brought in the chips from Thailand recently.

“We believe the man was planning to start a mini-casino,” he said.

Also seized were 75 betting slips, a laptop and several fax machines.

Aziz said a follow-up operation was conducted early Sunday at the Bukit Gembira condominium where two more men, aged 39 and 54 were arrested. Police also seized 28 betting slips and several lap-tops from the unit.

Meanwhile, police detained eight Indonesians and a Malaysian on Saturday on suspicion of dadah trafficking.

The suspects had stayed opposite the apartment which was used as a counting centre on the sixth floor of the Pangsapuri City.

Aziz said one of the suspects had acted suspiciously …

World Soccer News for week of 2/19 Ozren Podnar reports

Plague of injuries torments Barcelona

An unprecedented wave of injuries and suspensions led to Barcelona’s first defeat in the Spanish League and the first away defeat in all competitions this season. Four defensive players were injured and two suspended within a couple of days of the big match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona at Vicente Calderon forcing Josep Guardiola to play winger Jeffren Suarez as the right full back.

Without Alves, Abidal, Toure and Chigrinski due to muscular injuries plus the red-carded Pique and Marquez, Barcelona lost 2-1, allowing Real Togel Hongkong Madrid to close the gap at the top to two points with 16 matches to go.

Not only did Barcelona lose the points but also two more players, as Keita and Xavi succumbed to – you’ve guessed – muscular injuries! The events led to an emergency meeting of Barcelona’s medical staff in hope of ascertaining the causes of the players’ muscles’ fragility and preventing future casualties.

Buffon under fire for blaspheming

Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has upset the religious part of the Italian public for his alleged swearing during the Juventus vs Genoa game. The sports programs have employed lip readers in order to clarify if Buffon took God’s name in vain.

The public interest is due to the fact that in a couple of weeks swearing in soccer will become an offence punishable by a red card if the referee hears it, or with a ban if the foul language is captured on film.

The rule, approved by the FA, has not yet entered into force, but Buffon’s apparent blaspheming against God has turned into an experiment for the media. The question on everybody’s mind is how the soccer authorities will prove what exactly a player shouted just based on his lip movement or facial expression.

Buffon admitted that punishing somebody who offends God or the faithful may be the right thing to do, but failed to clarify what he himself said on the occasion and …
