Shake off your economic woes by giving a fun 1970s Disco theme party. party themes
are so much fun, and this one is sure to be extra groovy. Encourage invitees to arrive dressed in theme for hit disco music and party foods evocative of the 1970s. This party is relatively easy to pull together, budget friendly, and does not take much prep time – perfect for today’s busy host or hostess. For those who enjoy going all-out, check out our advice on a seventies theme party decor and learn how to create a DIY disco ball.

On your party invitation, ask that guests show up dressed as one of their favorite Broadway musical fictional characters. Tell them to keep their identity a secret, and have guests try to determine who everyone is dressed up as. Whoever gets the most identities correct wins tickets to a Broadway (or off-Broadway) musical.Label your dishes and cocktails after theatrical roles in different Broadway musicals. It really pulls the theme into all elements of the party. Serve savory Latin dishes named the Maria’ and a green Appletini called the Elphie.’

Go all out by creating a stage for your Broadway theme party goodies and drinks. Though this looks most authentic set up on a semicircle drop-leaf table (with one leaf up and one leaf down, creating the shape of a stage), any table can be used. Line the edge of the table with tealight candles along the rounded outer edge to create stage lights, and display food in groupings around the stage’ you’ve created on the table.Take your table to a whole other level by making curtains: lightweight red fabric affixed to a wooden dowel and hung over the stage for authentic looking Broadway curtains.

The Best Casinos Don’t Clog up My Computer

The Best Casinos Don’t Clog Up My Computer I am always on the prowl for new ways to distinguish the truly top notch online poker casinos from the imitators. While most online casinos offer generally comparable poker games and perks to the players, there is still one key factor that separates the digital wheat from the shaft: downloads. A good online casino, in my opinion, will not force me to download large clunky files onto my computer simply to enjoy the poker games. I use download size and speed as a way to differentiate the casinos that actually care about their customers from the ones that just want to make a quick buck. I understand that a casino may require some form of small download to legitimate my computer and make sure that the software runs properly. That is fine. However, the key word here is small download. A good casino should not make you download a huge file that will clog up your computer and slow its processing speed down. Forcing customers to download huge files is not only a waste of time for the player; it shows a general lack of consideration on the part of the casino. If you want to be considered one of the top notch casinos in my book, keep your downloads small and your customer service high.

Playing at the Pub: Poker in the UK

Bloged in Funny Farm, Games, World Of Gambling by Admin Monday March 15, 2010 at about 9:44 am

There is nothing better than relaxing with a pint at your local pub. Pubs are instantly relaxing, comfortable, and an excellent escape from the toils of everyday life. For British poker players, the pub can pose a conundrum. The pub is great, but what do you do if you want to relax with a pint AND an exciting game of online poker.

Luckily for all you British poker online players out there, recent laws have changed the gambling rules in pubs. The sum of all this new legislation is that your local pub is now technically able to host a poker game with money in play. So if you and your mates like to hang out at the pub, you can add a poker game to your normal evening out.

The one catch if you want to play poker at the pub is that you have to be the one to initiate the game. You have to ask your local barkeep if they would be willing to host the game, not the other way around. Individual pubs also reserve the right to not allow poker or other forms of gambling in their establishment. This isn’t a big hitch for dedicated poker players, but beginners out there may forget that they can combine a pint and poker.

On Focus

Bloged in Funny Farm, Games, World Of Gambling by Admin Monday February 22, 2010 at about 11:08 am

Aside from the obvious focus that you need to maintain on the poker tablethe awareness of other players, their images, and the cardsthere are other tactics that one can use to help improve one’s focus prior to the cards ever hitting the table. There is an old saying “A hungry dog hunts best.” Now take a minute to think about this. After you’ve just consumed a meal, your body wants to rest, it had no need to “hunt” anymore, and as a result, your mental focus isn’t as sharp as it would be otherwise. There have been several poker players who will fast right before a big tournament, after all, they’re hunting the money, and being hungry for it makes their game that much more fierce. Other avenues a player can take before hitting the table are the paths of Yoga and meditation. In certain forms of Yoga, you learn to focus your mind on certain parts of your body. This kind of training, enhances your focus overall and moreover enhances your ability to “close the lens” so to speak. I call it pinpoint focus, where you zone out everything but that one thing that is sticking out as not quite right. Finally on meditation. This is a tradition in Zen Buddhism, but you don’t have to be a Buddhist to benefit from some healthy meditation. During meditation periods, you usually have visualization periods followed by periods of clearing your mind. You also learn to control your breathing, and to some extent your heart rate. If you can take just some of the benefits from these external focus enhancing activities and apply it on the felt, then you’ll be light years ahead of your poker online opponents who haven’t.

Jeff Shulman’s Simulation Practice

Bloged in Funny Farm, Games, World Of Gambling by Admin Thursday January 14, 2010 at about 11:19 am

During the final table 2009 World Series of Poker final table broadcast by ESPN, they did a nice segment on the preparations undergone by CardPlayer Magazine’s Jeff Shulman in getting ready for the poker online event. Shulman hired the notorious Phil Hellmuth to coach and guide him through the logic required in his proceeding, not only just giving simple advice, but creating an innovative and interesting method for approaching tournament strategy. To do this, Hellmuth set up a mock final poker online table, with live players to act as the players remaining. He created player profiles for each avatar, and had those players stick by the rules of that idea. The 9 players then played table after table of tournament cards to test various strategies and situations as the game itself played out, with Hellmuth giving Shulman instructions and encouragement for each decision as they went along. Though Shulman didn’t win, he did make a fantastic showing, and got his money in with the best poker hand. His process of study in this way seems a smart way for future players with a specific goal to practice methodology over pure cards, and working on the idea of incorporating personality and pattern recognition into the fabric of the game itself.

Tight or Loose

Bloged in Funny Farm, Games, World Of Gambling by Admin Monday December 14, 2009 at about 12:34 pm

I like to play tight online poker, but my natural inclination lies closer to loose, aggressive poker play. I generally stick to my tight, aggressive game plan, but every now and then I’ll find myself slipping into a much looser style, and after playing both styles of poker, I’ve seen how effective both of them are. In tournaments, it usually pays to loosen up your game as the tournament progresses and the blinds go up in value. Often, the blinds will become so prohibitive that you can’t make it into the money without stealing a few blinds here and there. I’ve noticed that when I start out playing tight and I make a show if it, my opponents are more prone to folding when I try to steal the blinds later on. On the other hand, when I start out a tournament by playing loosely, my opponents will notice that as well, and my bluffs tend to get called later on. If you establish a precedent of loose play by playing sub-par hands and trying to buy up the blinds early on in the game, your later bluff be much less effective. Start out playing tightly in a tournament, your opponents will learn to fear you when you push chips into the pot.

Pay out Structure at Sit and Goes

Bloged in Funny Farm, Games, World Of Gambling by Admin Friday November 20, 2009 at about 10:38 am

Sit and go tournaments are the new kids on the block as far as poker tournaments are concerned. Many people are not aware of the unique characteristics of this kind of tournament. Of course, ignorance of the set up can result in a nasty shock when it approaches the end of the tournament and you are left out of the pot money. The pay outs are the most contentious issue of a sit and go tournament because only the top three players walk away with anything. If you are not a strong enough poker online player to make those top three spots, you are out of luck.

Most standard sit and go online poker tournaments follow the same rules for allocating the pot money to the players. The player who finishes in first place gets half the prize pot, no matter how large it is. The second place player walks away with a solid 30% of the pot, while the third place player earns 20%.

The reason that this is so problematic for most players is that a standard tournament pays out to a significantly larger number of players. Each player in the upper tiers gets less, but they at least get something. This same standard does not hold true for sit and go tournaments.
