Poker Online 180 - A Waste of Time

Poker Online 180, John Vorhaus wrote a book Killer Poker Online: Crushing the Internet Game, and seems pretty much to be a waste of reading.

Through Chapter 2 he has only gotten into the computer recommendations and nonsense like picking a screen name. Chapters 3-9 talk about money management, mood, mind set, and data management. Although he makes a good point many, other more useful books make the same points. The rest of the book is not worth reading except for the list of Nevers. Here they are quoted.

Ten "Nevers"

Never play drunk
Never play tired
Never start a session you can't end on your own terms
Never show a hand you don't have to
Never use the pre-action buttons
Never let your chat betray your real skill level
Never play bigger than your bankroll allows
Never play against known superior foes
Never forget that the money is real
NEVER GAMBLE MORE THAN YOU CAN STAND TO LOSE

The book is more of a waste of time than anything else. This one is better left on the shelf.

Poker Online 180 - The Basics to Omaha

Poker Online 180, Omaha is very similar to Texas Hold'em, in that you have hole cards and community cards. Hole cards are the cards dealt to the player for his/her viewing only. Community cards are dealt in front of the dealer and are flipped over throughout the game for everyone to use in their hand. Here is how a basic hand of Omaha goes.

First two of the players place what are called the blind antes. There is a big blind and a small blind ante and, they are dictated by the table limits. For instance, if the table is a $3/$6 that means small blind antes are $3 and big blind antes are $6. These players act last in each round of the hand. Small blind 2nd act to last and big blind act last.

After the antes the dealer deals each player a total of 4 cards. (The players use 2 of their cards and 3 of the community cards to make a hand). Then the dealer deals 5 community cards face down in front of him/her. A round of betting is next.

When the round of betting is complete the dealer flips over 3 of the community cards. This is followed by another round of betting.

After that round of betting is completed the dealer flips over 1 more community card. This again is followed by another round of betting.

The dealer then flips over the last of the community cards. The players then have 1 final round of betting. When the betting is finished the players reveal their hands and determine the winner.

Poker Online 180 - Online Gambling Under Fire

Poker Online 180, The U.S. congress is now addressing online gambling specifically poker. The Republicans are pushing for a ban of online gambling. The Democrats would like to see more regulation for the industry. The arguments on both sides is that there is no regulation and people our falling victims to these online sites. The politicians say that many people are losing everything in life to the gambling sites, which are available 24/7 for the avid gambler.

This is simply the 80/ 20 rule. 80% of the people are okay with recreational gambling and rarely see any adverse effects from it, but then there is that 20%, which are predisposed to having gambling problems. These are the people in which the politicians want to help.

As noble as the cause is, our government was setup to make laws that benefit the majority not the minority. Although I agree with having regulation, I disagree with the out-right banning of online gambling. Seeing how this is a 20 billion dollar a year industry I would say most people would agree with me. This is just another example of the government getting it all wrong. I though this was a free country.
