My Online World

If you’re ready to get serious about poker, be prepared to leave behind your superstitions. Why is this necessary? As long as you believe that poker is a game of luck, it will remain a game of luck for you. While the game does come down to random happenstance for every hand, it is also a game that abides by mathematical rules. These rules, as well as the strong psychological aspect of the game, require skills, not luck.

When you’ve made a play and you’ve done well, whether it’s a victory in an online tournament at Caesars Online or a great hand at a casino table, you may chalk it up to your great luck. More often, this is the scenario where your luck will take a back seat. Players often get lucky and assume that they are playing correctly. Hoping for luck or focusing on luck will blind you to your own faults and areas where you should improve.

On the reverse side, players often make poor decisions and then blame their luck for any shortcomings they may have. This locks players into their old habits and prevents them from making progress. While there’s nothing wrong with superstitions in and of themselves (like having a lucky orange), you should not be focused on luck in any way. You can’t control the luck at the table, you never will, and the things that can be changed will require all of your time and attention. Learning how to play well under pressure, how to read people, the mathematics of the game, and what tactics work for you are important aspects of mastering the game and have nothing to do with luck. Ask any professional players if poker is a game of luck or skill, and they will tell you that it’s all about skill.

Phil Hellmuth is one of the most respected poker players in the game today.  There are many reasons for that, but the main one is that he backs up his skill with a record 11 WSOP bracelets.  However, his attitude and temperamental outcries at unlikely hands have also earned him the nickname “the poker brat.”  Despite any jabs at his attitude, he is widely seen as a truly fantastic player.

Until 2008, Hellmuth had the title of youngest World Series of Poker Main Event winner in history, a record that he obtained at age 24 in 1989.  This is just one of the many WSOP victories that he’s achieved. His 11 bracelets are just a part of what’s earned him his massive bankroll.  Over the course of 77 different money wins in WSOP tournaments, Hellmuth has developed a lingering reputation.  His total winnings fall just short of $11 million as of the beginning of 2010.  Various World Poker Tour and Late Night Poker wins have increased his bankroll even further. He’s known as an impressive table player on top of having a reputation for tournament victories.

What about that nickname?  Is it truly earned?  Well, unlike many other players who successfully keep their cool during a bad beat, Hellmuth is known for insulting and berating other players when he feels they made stupid calls, especially when those stupid calls proceed to beat his authentically good hand.  He has been issued warnings from poker floor supervisors on more than one occasion.  Still, the jabs at his attitude have done nothing to mar his world class reputation as a player.  The only move that may have damaged this sterling player’s reputation was an incident in which he accepted a pot that was incorrectly awarded to him, and responded to the other player’s comment on the error with a rush to continue on to the next hand.

I am not so really into online games, but when I received some invitations from friends (Facebook that is!) and gave it a try. I got hooked up with pet society first then tending on farm, and latest is on Cafe World, DH is teasing me about having too many businesses around the net. Oh only if those coins can be used in real life, I am now a millionaire. Ahaha. A friend even suggested that I play online casinos where I could really earn real amount of money($-$). I might try it one of these days but I hope I wont get hooked with this or DH will need to send me to a rehab for getting addicted into it. LOL! Playing online games are just for fun and only during my free time as there are lots of responsibilities that I need to look into my offline world.

The long weekend is not enough for me to fill all the tasks that I am suppose to do which ends up for me being stressed out. But I am now trying to organize and fill-in the list my To-do’s and I hope that I will be able to pull everything off before the week ends. I am really longing to have my free time and be able to have myself a good rest and massage, play casino online perhaps to keep my my mind off from the hassles of works and monotony of everyday routine. It’s been a long time since I played the game and I am missing the perks and excitement it bring and wanted to try out other games that will sure keep me entertain. Since I don’t have the budget to go out for a vacation, playing online at least helps me out without spending too much and having to play it at the comfort of my home.

I always tell myself that I should stop procrastinating and should start to manage my time properly, but I always fail whenever I am faced with some beating the deadline situations, I always end up regretting of the time I wasted. It’ s a good thing that I have my DH who ’s always there to remind me of things I need to do, we’re two opposite when it comes to dealing with time. He’s the type of person who always perform things well planned, and I am the great procrastinator. I know that it’s  not good to rely on him always and I wouldn’t really learn my lessons well if he’s always there to keep pushing me.

Managing my “online” time is always a mess. I always tend to do my online tasks at the very last minute as the temptation of browsing and surfing other sites like showbiz and gossip sites, blog hopping, playing Cafe World over at facebook and online casino usa usually eats up most of my online time, Playing games is one of  the most time consuming activity I always engaged in and I am really trying my best to stay away from them to keep me focused on doing a more productive thing online.

But playing usa online casino is kinda different as it is trustworthy and reliable among other games especially if you are a US resident and trying to find the best games in casino wherein at least you get to win  some cash here unlike with other games wherein you earn millions of cash but only virtually . You can find there different types of games. But be sure that you have finished your important things to do as this quite time consuming if you get hooked into it and I strongly suggest that you need to manage your time and do this only on your allotted leisure time.

Being in front of the computer keeps me busy the entire day, office works needs me to do so and for my blogging needs too. Hence the reason why I arrived at my blog title here as I have build up another world aside from the real and offline world. It’s not really easy and not so good for health too as my eyes gets really tired from staring at the PC for long hours. Research and connecting to our company suppliers are the ones I usually does for my office work. There are instances that I get really bored doing endless searching on the net. It’s a good thing that the bosses allowed us to use the internet  because as we are free to go to any sites that fancies me, except of course to sites that needs parental guidance. LOL

During my free cyber time where I took rest from writing articles, I go and playedonline games that de-stresses me and helps putting me up back into work mode. But these are clean slate type of games, not those gambling games that requires not just time but also money. Playedonline is a nice playing site where you could play puzzle games, strategy games, action games, shooting games, racing games, dress up games, tower defense games, car games and more. You can also download games for free for any platforms. Be it on a mac os or Windows XP, Vista or 7. These are flash games so no need for those plugins.

There are forums wherein you can  also interact with other people  as share your views and opinions with the same passion that you had as you play games. You can even upload photos and videos, great isn’t it? it does not only caters to kids but to some kids at heart like me.

Paintball that is! everyone has been talking about how unique and exciting the game. Some of friends I knew including DH has is so hooked into it. I understand how serious they are playing this game, for they would even include this on their schedule every weekend. DH asked me if I could search for a planet eclipse gun that he wants to add up into his growing paintball gear collections. He told me that their opponent has this one. Oh well, I oblige, for this is better outlet of him instead of having beer drinking sessions with his circle of friends which they used to do before they got hooked into it. This is much interesting and healthier too right?!
