10 Tips That Will Give You An Unfair Advantage At The Poker Table When Playing Texas Hold'em Poker
Copyright 2005 Giorgio Maldini
Playing poker and winning is a very difficult task to do, you can lose most of the times specially if you don't know the little dirty psychology secrets that anybody playing poker for real has to understand.
1. Don't expect people to play like you.
Even good players have different concepts about how to make a good game. Don't count on other good players to do what you would do in a certain situation. There is more than one way to be right.
2.
Look your opponents in the eye.
See who they are and study their features. Get to know them. This observation will make you fear them less.
3. Try playing in silence.
Silent play is an image play, sure, but here's something else to consider: When you play in silence, you end up holding more detailed "inner conversations" with yourself, which improves your concentration, and also your play.
4. See things as they are.
Wishful thinking like fearful thinking leads to bad decisions.
Make your decisions based on real information, not on what you hope or fear that your opponents hold. It's bad enough to get bluffed by someone else but even worse to get bluffed by yourself.
5.
Keep it impersonal.
At the poker table it's easy to get sucked into our opponents' personalities. When you're driven by the desire to beat the player in seat four, just because he happens to be a jerk, you're moving away from your good game and into the dangerous teritory of personality poker. To keep it profitable, you have to keep it impersonal.
6. Respond to change.
A poker game is not static. It's a dynamic, living organism that changes from moment to moment. You have to respond to those changes. Just because a player was bluffing an hour ago doesn't mean he's bluffing now. Has he lost a lot of money since then? Has he had a few bluffs? Be up-to-the-second in your thinking or be prepared to go home broke.
7.
Beware subjective reality.
When the hand you folded an hour ago is the hand you raise with now, it's time to get up and go home.
8. Serve your game, not your ego.
Serving your ego in a poker game is not your purpose and it will harm you. It will only cloud your card sense with a lot of irrelevant issues, and also alienate your opponents.
Be humble, act humble, and leave your ego at home.
9. Have a scenario.
When you're in a hand against one or more opponents, put them on something. Make your best guess about their holding in light of their betting. It sounds obvious, I know, but so many of us get so caught up in our own hands that we don't stop to consider, really consider, what our enemies are up to until it's too late.
If you have a scenario, you may be wrong but at least you have a chance to be right. If you don't think about what they have, then you have no chance of being right.
10. Should you count your money at the table?
Ideally you have so much money that you can't count that high, but try not to do this.

How Your Swimming Pool Could Get You Sued
Installing a backyard swimming pool can make those hot summers a lot more fun and relaxing, but could it get you into a lot of financial trouble too?
The short answer is: yes.
If you're not properly insured, and someone gets hurt in your pool, you are inviting law suits.
I know what you're thinking: my friends and family are the only ones who use my pool... they're not going to sue me if anything happens.
Guess again.
It's not necessarily that people love to sue or even want to.
They may have to.
With the high costs of medical expenses today, a family that suffers a serious injury (or--god forbid--a death) probably can't afford not to sue.
And if a person was injured at your pool in your backyard, guess who's technically at fault?
If someone gets hurt, don't be surprised by a lawsuit: expect it.
And don't think you can watch the pool every moment to make sure nothing...

Poor Man's Concrete
Poor Man's Concrete (c)2005If you are looking for a way to build a "concrete" patio or walkway and can't afford the cost using the traditional costly materials, here is an alternative method that works very well in a mild climate ?meaning no freezing weather:Using pressure treated 2x4's, build a frame approx. 3'-4' wide and 8' long. If the area you want to cover is longer than 8', build an additional frame to cover the length of your project. If your project is wider than 4', repeat the above until you have the designated area completely framed in 4' wide sections.
Level the frame at a slight slant by hard packing dirt under it.
This slant allows for water run-off. Ready to begin preparing the "concrete" at a leisurely pace? Here is what you will need:?Enough "drive-way" gravel to fill the frame(s). ?Approx. 4-5 bags of regular cement for each 4'x8' section.
?A flat concrete finishing trowel ?A broom, shovel and wheelbarrow ?A hose with a nozzle that sprays a...
