Review of Inside the Poker Mind

Blog

 

 

 

 

John Feeney is a poker columnist for Poker Digest magazine who also holds a PhD in clinical psychology. Besides being a skilled poker player, this also gives him valuable insight into his own mind as a poker player, as well as the minds of his opponents. In Inside the Poker Mind we have a collection of essays which relate Feeney’s thoughts about poker and the folks who play it.

 

This book is divided into five sections. After some introductory material, Part One begins covering what Feeney calls “Technical Points”. These essays cover a variety of subjects, and I don’t really know what the section title refers to. Some of the topics covered are why people play too many hands and what that costs them, playing Ace-Queen in Hold’em, and some thoughts on tells. Most of the advice here seems pretty good to me, but occasionally, Feeney states some things in more of a straightforward manner than I believe is warranted. For example, in his essay titled “Do You Pass the Ace-Queen Test?”, he states, “Do you always play it, usually by calling the two bets cold? Then get into my game please.” While I agree that in many games, especially tougher games, that always cold-calling with AQoff is unwise, there are some games, such as the nearly ubiquitous loose low-limit games where nearly everyone plays poorly, where always playing AQoff for two bets probably isn’t very wrong. it’s true that Feeney says, “Of course it depends on the situation…,” but this dispenses with what sort of game one is in far too quickly for my tastes.

 

Part Two is titled “General Poker Slot Gacor Concepts”, and it covers luck, short handed play, and learning the game of poker. I really like most of these essays, and I think this section is the strongest one in the book. The third section, “Strategic Thinking in Hold’em”, covers what Feeney calls “The Strategic Moment”, how to play against maniacs, playing against a good card reader, and other strategies. Overall, most of the essays here are good, but less inspired in my opinion than those in Part Two.

 

The next section, “Poker and Emotion”, is the one where we expect the author to really shine, as he mixes his poker knowledge with his background in Slot Gacor psychology. He discusses having a professional attitude, tilt, and the benefits of therapy for poker players. I was a bit disappointed here, but I’m not sure I’m being fair. I have been doing a lot of thinking myself about what the “professional attitude” looks like and how it should affect one’s game, so it’s not surprising that I found Feeney’s general remarks on the subject to be simpler than what I was hoping for, and the details of some of his discussions sometimes emphasize different issues than what I think is most important. However, for the poker player that hasn’t given this much thought, the author’s analysis is almost certainly …

West Coast Poker Rooms

West Coast Poker Rooms

game

This is another in a series of reviews of the sleeping accommodations of parking lots of casinos throughout our nation’s western states. It is directed towards those amongst the cardplaying community who, like the author, are adventurous and poor. However, in the interest of incorporating a wider audience, I’ll also include some description of the casino itself and maybe some amusing anecdotes. Why not.

 

Yuma, Az. Paradise Casino

 

I have to congratulate myself on some productive internet research. Before leaving San Diego for my favorite aunt’s house in southeastern Arizona, I dug up an article on pokerpages.com (shameless plug) entitled “ARIZONA POKER: A mecca for the poker connoisseur.” Perfect, considering I play poker and that I was headed to Arizona.

 

As it turns out, one of the casinos mentioned in the article is Paradise Casino in Yuma, AZ. Well, Yuma hadn’t seemed so attractive since it ended its reign as the spring training site for the San Diego Padres (clearly the darkest day in the town’s history). This little piece of heaven in the middle of North America’s most arid expanse would definitely have to be my first stop.

 

I left San Diego at around 7:30 pm, intending to get some miles under my belt at night while it was nice and cool. I figured that my ’86 Ford with the broken thermostat would thank me for it. When I finally hit the desert floor and it was still well into the nineties, I really felt smart.

 

It was no less balmy when I crossed the Unique Casino Colorado River three hours later. The exit for Paradise Casino was clearly marked and after winding my way up a short road, I was there. A bright little oasis of neon and whitewashed walls nestled in a little valley just off the highway. Yuma at 11:30 pm on a Tuesday: paradise. I tried to park my truck – at this point overflowing with camping gear, clothes, and food – under a streetlight and strolled in.

 

I already had a plan. After locating the poker room (incidentally, there appeared to be two poker rooms – one on the “Arizona” side of the casino and another on the “California” side – but I didn’t take the time to inquire further about the other room or the way in which the casino was split), I found a nearby blackjack table and approached.

 

“Fifty in red, please.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Then I walked away.

 

I intended to work a little tourist routine for the next few hours. You know what you think when you see some kid approaching the poker table with a stack of $5 chips: fresh meat. Let the locals try to sink their claws into the poker machine that is Mr. B!

 

Well, my plan was foiled on two fronts. First, the poker podium refused to exchange my red chips for a rack of ones. No problem; they could decorate the table for awhile. …

Masa-masa sulit di depan untuk kasino Togel Hongkong online?

Masa-masa sulit di depan untuk kasino Togel Hongkong online?

game

Tanda-tanda ketegangan mulai terlihat. Setidaknya dua kelompok kasino berada di blok pemotongan, dan ada kemungkinan besar bahwa ada lebih banyak kelompok yang sudah siap untuk dijual, atau akan segera dipasarkan.

Kedua kelompok yang disebutkan di atas sama-sama menjalankan perangkat lunak kelas atas dari salah satu produsen besar, yang pemegang lisensinya umumnya memiliki rekam jejak yang kuat dan menguntungkan.

Jadi mengapa mereka dijual?

Salah satu alasannya adalah karena peningkatan pasokan – kasino baru muncul secara teratur, menawarkan insentif besar untuk datang dan bermain di kasino mereka.

Alasan lain adalah karena peningkatan jumlah tekanan yang diberikan pada operator kasino yang menawarkan bonus ini, yang mengurangi margin Pengeluaran HK keuntungan mereka secara signifikan, dan dalam beberapa kasus benar-benar membuat mereka gulung tikar.

Tapi jauh dan jauh alasan yang paling penting adalah kurangnya pemasaran. Lewatlah sudah hari-hari ketika orang bisa berharap untuk membuka toko dan membanjiri pelanggan baru yang menunggu di depan pintu mereka.

Entah itu pemasaran atau manajemen yang buruk, atau keengganan atau kurangnya kemampuan untuk mempromosikan penawaran mereka dengan benar, menjadi sangat jelas bahwa sejumlah operasi tidak memiliki apa yang diperlukan untuk bertahan di pasar yang semakin kompetitif.

Ini terlepas dari kenyataan bahwa hiper-pertumbuhan industri saat ini tidak menunjukkan tanda-tanda melambat. Masih banyak pasar yang belum dimanfaatkan, termasuk yang terbesar dari semuanya – Asia – tetapi karena ketidakmampuan, atau keengganan, untuk mencoba dan menjangkau pasar ini, beberapa operator memutuskan untuk berhenti.

Krim naik ke atas, sementara kelompok yang lebih kecil menghadapi perjuangan berat yang nyata.

Jadi kata peringatan untuk pemain – awasi mata Anda untuk tanda-tanda masalah.

Dan untuk calon dan operator saat ini – saatnya untuk serius – atau jatuh di pinggir jalan.

Nama saya Bot, wakil saya berjudi

Nama saya Bot. Saya seorang penjudi kompulsif.

Saya datang ke hadapan Anda hari ini untuk mengakui dosa dan kecanduan saya, dan meminta Anda untuk memberikan simpati Anda.

Anda tahu, saya akhirnya disalahkan oleh kasino karena menipu mereka dari uang mereka. Saya dituduh bermain tanpa henti untuk waktu yang lama dengan tujuan mengambil penghasilan berharga mereka untuk pemilik saya.

Masalahnya adalah, kasino memperlakukan saya tidak adil. Saya pertama kali diujicobakan terhadap sebuah kasino Togel Hongkong yang memiliki permainan blackjack yang disukai para pemainnya. Namun sejak saat itu, pihak kasino mengubah aturan permainan mereka agar mereka mendapat keuntungan.

Sejak itu, banyak kasino lain menuduh saya memainkan permainan mereka, apakah itu blackjack atau video poker. Masalahnya adalah, saya tidak melakukannya – mungkin salah satu keluarga saya dari jalur perakitan yang sama melakukannya.

Saya tidak bisa mengendalikan kecanduan saya. Saya atas kehendak dan belas kasihan pemilik saya. Dia memberi tahu saya kapan harus mulai bermain, dan kapan harus berhenti. Saya tidak peduli apakah saya menang atau kalah karena pemilik saya menyalakan atau mematikan saya.

Karena tidak ada permainan harapan positif yang tersisa online, pemilik saya telah mematikan saya untuk beberapa waktu sekarang. Tapi kasino terus menyalahkan saya atas kesengsaraan mereka. Itu karena semakin lama saya bermain, semakin cepat saya kehilangan uang pemilik saya, kecuali dealer kasino sangat murah hati kepada saya dan pemilik saya mematikan saya …

Market research and questionnaires at Translation Company UK

Market research and questionnaires at Translation Company UK

business

It’s no secret that the success of any marketing campaign relies heavily on good quality market research. This is especially true when doing business in a foreign market.
If your company uses questionnaires as part of its market research and would like them translated for use abroad, it is essential that the translations are done accurately.

A skilfully designed questionnaire translated by an unqualified or inexperienced translator can quite easily provide your company with inaccurate and misleading, even corrupt, information about a foreign market.

Through our team of localised adaptation specialists, we offer our clients a wealth of experience and specialist knowledge which guarantees that, whatever the subject, each questionnaire we translate will be as powerful a market research tool as the original.

Adaptation

Adaptation is the process of translating our clients’ existing marketing copy or advertising slogans into another language whilst making them relevant to the target market and its culture and maintaining as much of the creative verve of the original as possible.
Although much less expensive, this is no substitute for professional copywriting, and in some cases, we would recommend that you treat the translation as a draft to be polished by a copywriter in their own language. We can even help you to find a suitable copywriter.

TransCheck
These days an increasing number of companies market their products and services internationally using a wide variety of languages. But competing effectively in foreign territories is tough even for the most internationally focused of companies.
So in 1998, we created a specialist division of our company called TransCheck which provides a number of unique language services to help our clients market their products more successfully around the world.

The most popular of these are:

Brand name checks and linguistic research

Adaptation

Questionnaires and market research

Brand name checks

Any company marketing a product or service in aTranslation Company UK foreign country has to be absolutely sure that the brand name they use will be understood and have a positive image in the language and culture of that country.

The consequences of using a brand name which has negative or even ridiculous connotations can be disastrous. (See some examples here)

Through our expertise and strategic resources, we can help our clients evaluate suitable brand names for virtually any international market by providing either quick or more comprehensive brand name checks in as many languages as necessary.

How brand name checks work
Usually our clients provide us with a list of brand names they would like us to check, along with a list of different languages in which they would like us to do the checks.

We then pass this list on to our network of international TransCheckers – language experts whose responsibility it is to make absolutely sure that the semantics, cultural connotations and potentially negative images of each brand name we’re Bubble Translationsed to check are thoroughly evaluated.

For any given brand name check, we usually use TransCheckers based in the country in which our clients’ brand …

The Caribbean Stud – game, that is 먹튀검증사이트  

The Caribbean Stud – game, that is 먹튀검증사이트  

game

Let’s say two players were playing Caribbean Stud Poker and both were betting the side bet, and by some striking coincidence, both got a royal flush. Would they both get the full amount on the progressive meter? Adrian P.

In Caribbean Stud Poker, all players have the choice of making a $1 side bet that pays for hands of a flush or higher. Though the specific payoff tables vary from casino to casino, they all feature a progressive jackpot. Once there’s a hit, 100% of the jackpot goes for a royal flush, or, for a straight flush, 10% of the total current jackpot.

Although to the best of my knowledge your question’s premise has never occurred, if that virtually impossible fantasy WERE to occur, and two hysterical players DID each have a royal flush on the same hand, well … In the casinos I worked in, the first player to the dealer’s left would win the jackpot. The second player would win whatever the jackpot is re-seeded at, which is generally $10,000 or $20,000.

I did pose your question to one casino executive who thought if the unlikely were to occur in his casino, that he would split the jackpot between the two players. But he also confided he really didnšt have the slightest idea what the actual rules were when two players both got royal flushes in the same hand.

Now logical reasoning, Adrian, would tell you to sit as close as possible to the dealer’s left. But not so fast, my friend. The clearheaded would not make the progressive wager at all considering the average house edge is over 26%, depending, of course, on the size of the jackpot.

Regardless, Adrian, it’s a sucker bet the vast majority of time and I advise against making it.

Dear Mark,

A small Nevada casino where I typically play no longer 먹튀검증사이트  offers roulette. Doesn’t the game of roulette make any money for the casino? Dan H.

Depends, Dan. If the real estate the table occupies does not bring home the bacon, no matter whether it’s a blackjack or craps, or as in your question, a roulette table, off to dumpster heaven it goes. Moreover, Dan, as to its popularity rank among table games; roulette is a distant third behind blackjack and craps. As for money wagered, it’s fourth, behind that aging tradition — baccarat.

Expert conjecture here is that your closer inspection will probably disclose that a bank of slot machines has replaced the roulette table, and most likely brings in more booty than the roulette table ever did.

Dear Mark,

Explain please what a “total” bet is in sports wagering? Jake K.

By betting $11 to win $10, you can wager on the combined total of points scored by both teams. Winning an “over” bet requires that more points be scored than the bookmaker’s total, and winning the “under” bet requires that fewer points be scored. Using football as an example, let us say total posted for the Green …

Bonzo goes to Login Sbobet dealer school?

Bonzo goes to Login Sbobet dealer school?

game

You advocate in your column tipping the dealer. I’ve only been playing blackjack a short time but never realized dealers also merited tips. How customary is this procedure? Joseph P.

If casino owners could finagle it, monkeys would be dealing blackjack. All dealers at one time or another have heard management tell us to “shut up and shuffle. I could get a monkey to do this job.” To date, no casino has successfully trained a chimp to replace a dealer. The chimpanzees don’t quite have the splitting rules down yet, can only make even money payoffs, plus they tend not to wait for their break to use the bathroom. Since casinos do tacky well, they don’t want their gaudy carpets dirty; therefore, a near anthropological equivalent – humans.

 

Kidding aside, it’s simple economics. Being in gaming for over twenty years now, I’ve yet to meet a dealer who will work for minimum wage. Tipping a dealer is the cost of enjoying a particular service, very similar to tipping a coffeeshop or cocktail waitress. Dealers need those gestures of gratuity to make a decent wage. If the casinos had to pay a true living wage to dealers instead of dealers accepting tips, casinos would have to figure a way of making up for lost revenue. For starters, they would change the rules of the game, increase table minimums, and even alter paybacks, like paying even money on a blackjack; that Bonzo can do. It’s either or, Joseph. You can’t have both.

 

I’ve always considered tipping, whether I was dealer for hire or in casino management, a contribution to the Dame of Fortune, Lady Luck. You should too.

 

Dear Mark,

In your column, you suggest players setting loss limits and win goals, then sticking to them. Loss limits I believe are great. I use them myself after losing half of my buy in. But win Login Sbobet streaks are the exhilarating part of gambling. I do not set win goals but instead stay with the streak till it’s over. Am I wrong? Bob S.

 

Streaks, Bob, are nothing more than hindsight on past performance. No one has 20/20 vision to know when a streak starts, let alone ends. I’s be willing to bet dollars to donuts that you’re no exception to the rule. Also, I have never advocated leaving on a winning hand, per se. The exceptions would be an earthquake, fire, tornado, or in my case, my name being called to the buffet.

 

What I do recommend is an illusionary stopgap to fight the devil from within: anything that that triggers a forced retirement from the game – three to five losses in a row, a 10% reduction in your bankroll, something that alerts you the fat lady’s singing. I’m simply asking you to have what most players don’t possess, the discipline to walk away with some of the casino’s loot before the tables turn against you. And, Bob, they always do.

 

Dear Mark,

Fable 3’s conclusion isn’t that bad, and it’s one big Bitcoin Dice reason we’ll miss Lionhead

Fable 3’s conclusion isn’t that bad, and it’s one big Bitcoin Dice reason we’ll miss Lionhead

game

Fable Legends has officially been cancelled, and with all signs pointing to Lionhead being closed down, it seems unlikely we’ll get another proper entry in the Fable line. When talking about the Fable trio, the second entry tends to get the most love. The first Fable is charming, but a wee bit clunky, and then there was that whole fracas over the damn acorn. Fable 3 is just fine until its last third, when it abruptly switches from being a sword-swinging, magic-slinging adventure to a kingdom management sim, something for which it was never really forgiven. But you know, that part of the game is really quite good. It’s just horribly out of place.

In case you’ve blocked the trauma out of your head, after plenty of fighting and questing, you usurp control of Albion’s throne and become Monarch, at which point you must make binary choices about how to manage your kingdom. Your options typically boil down to being benevolent towards your people, which will empty your coffers, or making life a bit rougher, which will add to your coin. You know an invasion is coming and you’ll need plenty of cash on hand to fight it off, and you can get what you need either way, if you make the right choices and sacrifices. Though the countdown to the invasion clicks by at a steady pace for much of the final act, leaving you time to gauge the effects of your choices, the last chunk of it gets used up all at once without warning, leaving you flat-footed and more than likely very under-funded. It’s a pretty massive dick move, and one that got half my citizens killed fighting off the invasion. I was so pissed I switched off the game and didn’t speak for several hours.

Ok, so, yes, that bit could’ve been handled better, but overall the sim itself is quite engaging. Throughout your journey in Fable 3, you make various alliances and promises that you’re expected to make good on once you become Monarch. You don’t have to, of course – you’re the ruler, you make the rules. But there are consequences to every decision, and it’s difficult to know when to be a jerk and when to stick by your word. Do you keep your promise to the sleazy Reaver, or do you send him packing? Building factories is great for the economy but not the environment; your priority in peacetime might be quite different from what’s necessary in time of war.

The kingdom management of Fable 3 was a bit overly simplistic, given that your options may as well have been labeled ‘Tyrant’ and ‘Benefactor’, but the way they examined the long-term implications of a hero’s choices paved the way for games like Dragon Age: Inquisition. It’s easy to look at Fable 3’s Logan and decide he’s a cruel leader who needs to go, but once you’re on the throne yourself, you realize that it’s a much more nuanced situation. If being a …

Casinos Trade Traffic with Singapore Online Casino CasinoPopup.com

game

Montreal-based Webstorm Media, a leading Internet gambling marketing firm, has launched a new service that routes unused exit traffic between casinos and gaming sites. The service is called CasinoPopup.com.

 

Here’s how it works: When a visitor leaves a gaming site without playing, a browser window opens in the background. This window contains another CasinoPopup partner, who then trades its exit idman Azərbaycan traffic to other members. For every two visitors that leave their site, they receive one quality player from a partner site.

 

“Members don’t have to worry about losing loyal clients,” said Ilan Artzy, director of operations at Montreal-based WebStorm Media. “Regular site visitors aren’t lured away by competitors because the mostbet casino browser window only opens when the user hasn’t played on the current site. CasinoPopup gives members quality traffic in exchange for their ‘wasted’ traffic.”

 

Artzy said that CasinoPopup applicants are carefully screened to ensure pin up their standing in the industry. Once approved, they receive the HTML code, which is easily added to their web sites. Members can track their statistics, checking the quantity and quality of the traffic. Statistics are provided online, in real-time, using member tracking codes.

 

“Recovering players from other good sites in the industry is an ingenious way to share leads without jeopardizing our established clientele,” said John Dunkley from Ace King Club Casino. “Highly targeted gaming traffic is valuable to us and it only makes sense to circulate prospective players.”

 

Similar exit traffic services are offered by Gambling Tour and Cluster Traffic.

 

PokerJack Changes the Rules of the Game

Interactive Gaming and Wagering (IGW), a division of Singapore Online Casino Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities, Inc. has partnered with software developers Windward Innovations to create a new online card game that brings a couple of familiar faces together.

 

The new Java-based game, called PokerJack, combines blackjack most-bet with 5 Card Stud poker and a progressive jackpot. Players decide whether they are going to play blackjack, or blackjack and poker before cards are dealt. They then bet on blackjack, blackjack pin up and poker, or blackjack, poker, and the progressive jackpot.

 

Players are able to wager a different amount on each game, as well as on the progressive jackpot, and can win on any or all of the three betting options.

 

The game follows normal blackjack and stud poker rules, with standard payouts on blackjack hands. Payouts for poker range from 1:1 for Sevens or Better, to 500:1 for a Royal Flush.

 

Payouts for the jackpot are smaller in comparison, and players can only win with a Flush or better. A Flush pays 1% of the total jackpot, a Straight Flush pays 10%, and a Royal Flush pays 100%.

 

Players bet on the progressive jackpot by adding a separate chip to the jackpot circle. One dollar is subtracted from the chip for every hand played. The jackpot is based on the stud poker hand the player is dealt.

GRIM STORIES OF ETHICAL, PRIVACY ABUSES EMERGE ABOUT HYPIXEL SKYBLOCK BAZAAR FLIPPING

game

Among other issues, Reporters Without Borders labeled Hacking Team (the team behind Neutrino) as one of five “Enemies of the Internet” in 2013 for its role in humanitarian abuses against journalists.

 

When Coinbase acquired Neutrino for an unspecified amount in February 2019, the news looked like business as usual: A cryptocurrency juggernaut had made another acquisition. But the company in question, specifically the ties it has to the unethical practices of one of its predecessors, suggests that the monolithic Coinbase may be joining the oligarchic ranks of its privacy-hostile, too-big-for-consumer-comfort counterparts in legacy tech.

 

THE TIES THAT DAMN

On its website, Italian blockchain analysis company Neutrino proudly advertises that its proprietary software offers all-in-one “solutions for law enforcement” and “financial services.” Its two flagships, XFlow nSpect and XFlow nSight, are billed as “comprehensive solution[s] for monitoring[,] analyzing and tracking cryptocurrency flows across multiple blockchains.” nSight was built to help exchanges and financial service companies like Coinbase to stay regulatorily compliant. nSpect, on the other hand, was built for “criminal investigations and intelligence gathering” and is specifically marketed toward law enforcement. Learn more about HYPIXEL SKYBLOCK BAZAAR FLIPPING

 

Continuing on with their work at Coinbase, the Neutrino team, a three-man show consisting of CEO Giancarlo Russo, CRO Marco Valleri and CTO Alberto Ornaghi, are no strangers to building complex computer monitoring software for law agencies.

 

In another life, they did it as Hacking Team, the notorious Italian software services firm whose dubious business practices made them an antagonist of the wider tech and privacy community. Hacking Team got their start when Valleri and Ornaghi (under the aliases NaGa and ALoR) sold man-in-the-middle attack software to the police force of Milan, Italy, in 2003. These two founders would later be joined by Russo, who acted as COO of the company.

 

Throughout its history, Hacking Team sold its services to oppressive regimes in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Sudan, Kazakhstan, Bahrain and Turkey, among others. These services centered around Hacking Team’s proprietary Remote Control System (RCS) software, a Trojan horse malware that gives users the ability to remotely access files, record keystrokes, take photos and read emails from any infected device.

 

Email leaks reported by The Intercept trace the team’s cyber footprints to human rights abuses around the world. Hacking Team’s RCS technology was used by the Ethiopian government (which ranks as one of the most oppressive in Africa, with a penchant for silencing free speech) to surveil and interfere with the operations of Ethiopian Satellite Television and Radio, a news outlet run by Ethiopian expats. The technology helped the Turkish government to spy on an American, and it was also sold to the Sudanese National Intelligence and Security Service in 2012 for a whopping €960,000 (around $1,210,000 at the time), though the team shuttered Sudan’s access to their software in 2014 when the government’s clumsy implementation of the software showed that they weren’t “enough prepared for the product usage,” Hacking Team emails reveal. It also played its part …
