			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When one says poker, you think of the game that many love to play. Yet, when you go to sit down, you might find that you are playing a whole different game. This is because there are so many different types of poker out there. Here one can learn about a few of those.</p>
<p>The first type of <a href="http://br.PokerHomeGames.com/pokerstar/PokerStar-net">PokerStar.net</a> game that you might not know about is the Omaha poker game. This is in the hi/low format. One will find this on the online casino sites. This means that the person who has the highest hand has to split the pot with the person who has the lowest hand. In this game, you have four cards that make a hand. Normally, it comes down to the person that has a better hand will win the pot.</p>
<p>The other poker variation is the <a href="http://poker.about.com/od/poker101/ht/7cardstud.htm">seven card stud poker</a>. This was a game that many use to play when it came to different variations of poker. That was until the game Texas Hold&#8217;em came out. The only thing that comes close to the now famous game is that the rankings are the same. What happens is that they post an ante. When the dealer deals, they deal two cards face down. Then they deal one face up. The person who has the lowest card that is up has to start the game with a bet. Those who go next have to raise, fold, or call. Normally you have one bet and three raises with this game. Then after that round another face up card is dealt to those still in. Betting begins again. This is started with the person who has the strongest poker hand. You do this until the 7th card. This card is dealt face down. This is how the game is played.</p>
<p>Another <a href="http://www.vegaspokerpro.com/">poker variation</a> is called Razz. Many of you will find that it’s pretty much like the previous one we just spoke about. Instead of getting the highest hand, you are now trying to get the lowest hand that you can. Another thing that is different is that straights and flushes don’t count against a person either. In Razz, aces are thought of as low cards.</p>
<p>Then, there is the Caribbean stud poker. While other types of poker are betting against the other players, this game differs slightly. The players are playing against the house or the casino; wherever you are playing. The casino or the house then acts as the dealer. A person only has to beat the dealers hand and no one else’s. There is no competition among the other players which throws people off quite a bit.</p>
<p>When it comes to how many different variations there are of <a href="http://www.vegaspokerpro.com/pocker.asp">pocker</a>, well that all depends. It seems like every day a new form of the game has come out. That is why it’s so hard to say just how many variations there are of them out there. One can try counting, but when they think they have them all, they find that they find ten more at least.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a name like Chris Moneymaker, one would think the guy would be hard pressed to do anything other than live up to it. Well, as the fates and pro poker tables would have it, this young poker player born on November 21, 1975 in Atlanta, Georgia sure had the luck of the game with him with a nickname that earns him big dollars – yes, you guessed right, his moniker is money!</p>
<p>Far from his birthplace, Chris now lives in the home of country music – Nashville in Tennessee and is associated with PokerStars.</p>
<p>If one would read about his early days, Chris started off in a completely different direction from the <a href="http://www.vegaspokerpro.com/fulltilt.asp">fulltilt poker download</a> as he earned a graduate degree from Tennessee State University then went on to earn a masters in accounting. However, it could well be the love for numbers that soon had Chris adding up some pretty big ones for his wins when he got interested in online poker around the same time; he began working on his new hobby with extra vigor.</p>
<p>He got hooked on Texas Hold’em poker. Of course, at the time he was practicing his games and also holding down an accountant’s job and so Chris hadn’t imagined himself as a pro or that he’d be one of the biggest influences in the game!</p>
<p>But, he rose to poker stardom fast and proved to be an inspiration for many new poker players who dream of making a win like <a href="http://www.chrismoneymaker.com/">Chris MoneyMaker</a> when he signed up for the $39 satellite hosted by PokerStars, a popular online card room that he won and through which he subsequently secured a seat in a bigger satellite game for. This larger satellite eventually got Chris the prize for competing in the WSOP Main Event.</p>
<p>Very early in the tournament, Lou Diamond a pro sports handicapper noticed Chris’ skills and called him the dark horse, which he quite well turned out to be because he emerged as the big winner of the tournament!</p>
<p>Thereafter, Chris competed with many other amateur poker players and won over them easily enough while also battling it out with established players like Howard Lederer, Paul Darden and Johnny Chan. Chris reached the final table position and was pitted against veteran poker player Sammy Farha and this is where he proved that even as an amateur he could perform consistently, especially when he moved all-in on with a king-high move during a pivotal bluff. Of course, he won the first prize, which was a cool $2.5 million and went on to achieve instant poker stardom in Las Vegas from that moment on. The memory is an unforgettable one for Chris also because this was his first time playing live poker in a tournament, not just because of the huge monetary win.</p>
<p>Chris’s gaming style earned him the tag of the ‘Moneymaker Effect’ because his keen sense of judgment and cool headedness during play with world class poker stars inspired a global online poker phenomenon of sorts as millions started playing in virtual card rooms hoping to have a taste of the moneymaker effect rub off on them.</p>
<p>Needless to say, post the WSOP win, Chris quit his job and became a celebrity spokesperson for <a href="http://www.vegaspokerpro.com/full-tilt-poker.asp">Full Tilt</a> that won him his stardom and traveled and played in bigger buy-in tourneys for some years. In 2008, Chris’s total earnings from live tournaments had crossed the $2,800,000, of which $2,532,041 was attributed to wins at the WSOP.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Caribbean stud poker plays like a combination of five card stud poker and blackjack. It is becoming an increasingly popular game at casinos. Even though the game is played at a table and there will be other players seated at the table. What makes Caribbean Stud poker different from the other variations of poker is that you don&#8217;t need to worry about your fellow players. When you are playing Caribbean poker the only person you need to worry about is the dealer.</p>
<p>The resemblance Caribbean stud shares with blackjack is uncanny. It starts with the games setting. In the casino it is usually located near the blackjack dealers. The table is just a blackjack table. The cards are dealt from a shoe, and instead of playing against your tablemates, you are in fact playing against the dealer. Just like with blackjack, Caribbean stud is another game where the house has the advantage.</p>
<p>Just because the house has the <a href="http://www.pkrpoker.org/PKR-com">PKR Poker</a>  advantage doesn&#8217;t mean that it is impossible to come out ahead while you are playing. You just have to be creative. It is possible to win.</p>
<p>The one thing you shouldn&#8217;t do is try to count cards. Not only is this something that will get you tossed out of the casino, but it is virtually impossible to do. One of the rules of Caribbean stud poker is that none of the players should see the other players’ hands. Most casinos are really strict about this particular rule.</p>
<p>The other thing you shouldn&#8217;t try to do is be too clever. This is a simple game. Each player and the dealer are dealt five cards. If your hand is better than the dealer, you win. If the dealers hand is better, the house gets the winnings. Don&#8217;t try to think of elaborate methods for beating the house.</p>
<p>What you should do is learn the game. If you plan on spending a great deal of time playing Caribbean stud, either at a real world casino or at an online casino, you should be able to recall the rules right off the top of your head.</p>
<p>In addition to knowing the rules of Caribbean Stud, you should also have an almost instinctive grasp of the different hands. You want to be able to glance at your hand and know if it is good. You should also glance at the dealers four show cards and know if they are going to beat your hand or not. The quicker you can do all of this, the better you will be able to stay focused on the game.</p>
<p>The trick to beating the house while playing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_stud_poker">Caribbean poker</a> has to do with the cards you are holding in your hands. As important as it is to know the different types of hands, you can pretty much rest assured that if you are holding either an ace or a king, your hand is going to trounce the dealer. If you are holding one of these two cards and the dealer isn&#8217;t showing any, you should bet the maximum amount the table allows. On the other hand, if you do not have an ace or a king, and the dealer is showing one, you should fold and wait for the next hand to be dealt.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.samfarha.com/">Farha</a> sitting on pocket Ace, 10, opens for 200 chips. That statement in most circles will send a slight chill through the bodies of the other players. But it’s how we got started on this conversation-worthy hand from an early round of the World Series of Poker a couple years ago.</p>
<p>Oliver Hudson, celebrity sibling – as the judges have gone through great lengths to tell us – rubs his chin a couple times (is this intentional? Do they players actually not know they’re throwing out tells like their pennies in a fountain?) and raises back. He’s sitting on pocket 10’s himself. Already with a 69% statistical advantage, Hudson now sits stone-faced, trying to play it cool in the company of a professional and legend.</p>
<p>The flop, the ridiculous flop, the…..insane flop….is Ace, Ace, 10. So both players land of full houses, but Sammy Farha of Full Tilt Poker has the high hand, and quickly earns the check mark. It probably bears mentioning that this is actually the first hand in the entire tournament. Talk about quick action right out of the gates.</p>
<p>Both <a href="http://www.PokerHomeGames.com/pokerstar/">PokerStar.net</a> players do a great job of restraining their faces. Both are wearing sunglasses, as well, and it’s situations like this that you appreciate what that’ll do for you. In a not entirely shocking move, both players check.</p>
<p>The turn, not that it matters, is a queen. Now Hudson moves, though, and bets 300 chips. Can’t blame the guy, I’d have done the same thing. In fact, I probably wouldn’t have been as disciplined and tossed some more in the middle after the flop.</p>
<p>It’s quick and dirty from this point on. Farha raises back to 1,300 chips. Hudson goes all-in (oops). FullTilt Farha calls right away, and after Hudson reveals his boat, Farha casually flips his cards, like it ain’t no thing, and doesn’t say a word.</p>
<p>Hudson throws out an “Oh my God!” and a “First hand!” – but it’s all just sprinkles and whipped cream on Farha’s 10,000-chip banana split.</p>
<p>I think most <a href="http://fr.PokerHomeGames.com/pokerstar/">poker star</a> players would agree this one might have been a little more luck of the draw than actual betting skill, but who cares, that’s a crazy flop, and the fact that it was on the first hand of the tournament only adds to the amazement.</p>
<p>The announcers’ comments at the end are priceless if not obvious. “He just blew through 10 grand in about 90 seconds.” Awesome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, there is something funny about Jim Davis. This would be the funny cartoon that he created that many know and love. This cartoon is no other than that tiger striped, lasagna loving, fat cat named Garfield. Many don’t know that he was created by this funny guy who has much love for animals. Well, maybe just one animal in particular. </p>
<p>Born July 28, 1945, many love this man. He is from the United States, but it seems every one around the world knows about the cartoon creature he created. Born as James Robert Davis, he signs each cartoon as Jim Davis.  This man was raised by a loving family and is now raising a loving family of his own all the while working his passion. What is that passion?</p>
<p>While he is most noted for <a href="http://www.garfield.com/">Garfield</a>, there are other comic strips that he has done as well. These include Tumbleweed, Gnorm Gnat, and then there was even one that was about Mr. Potato Head. Before that, he had worked for an advertising agency. This was where he met Tom Ryan and where he began assisting with the Tumbleweed comic strip that got Jim Davis started and had started the flame of passion to work with comic strips. </p>
<p>Some of you wonder just how much of the Garfield things he has been responsible for, well he’s been the guy behind most of it. He helped them when they created the Garfield and Friends show. He created the Garfield series that many remember watching on Saturday morning. For this, he was given an Emmy. Lately though, he has been doing more with the Garfield line. He has recently helped the C. G. network He has created the videos of Garfield as well as the TV series that they are putting out on the C.G. network. </p>
<p>There are many that have wondered where his love for animals has come from. It’s not just animals that he loves, but James has a big passion for cats. Growing up, his family had twenty five cats in the home which could explain Jim Davis’s love for them. He was born in Indiana and actually went to Ball State University and he still lives there to this day where he owns his own company called Paws. Paws has helped many cartoonists as they employ fifty cartoonists to work this cartoon. They also hire many administrators to work with the licensing department for the Garfield line. </p>
<p>While he loves cats, <a href="http://www.garfield.com/about/jim.html">Jim Davis</a> doesn’t have one of his own as his wife is allergic to them. Instead, he does have a wonderful dog. Their products that feature Garfield are sold around the world and the headquarters is based out of Indiana. This Emmy award winning man continues to bring that cute character to people around the world in a number of ways. People continue to find that they look forward to reading those crazy comic strips that many of us remember reading when we were kids in the Sunday newspaper. </p>
