Let’s imagine for a moment. You’re playing in a tournament, and you’ve just been moved to a new table. On the first hand, you decide to raise pre-flop with a decent, but not great hand. On the flop, you have the top pair, and a decent kicker. You see your opponent, who simply called your raise before the flop bet out a significant number of chips. Looking over the board, you try to reason out what he could have. You have no idea how this guy plays. He could be super-tight, and he may have two pair or even trips. If he’s a little loser, it could be a flush or a straight draw, or he could have a middle pair. It could be a bluff altogether. How do you decide what to do?

Everyone has been in a situation like this before, and I think that learning what to do in these kinds of predicaments is what separates the consistent winners and professionals from the rest of the crowd. And that’s true both on a regular poker table and on the Judi Poker online platform.

My rule of thumb is simple: don’t play when you don’t know. Of course, as you may imagine, there are a lot of times where you can’t say for sure that you will know what’s going on in the game, and there is a lot of guesswork involved in the game of poker overall. You’ll go broke if you only wait for the stone cold nuts hands. Then again, you’ll go broke if you stay in every pot as well.

What you need to do is to train yourself to be less “sticky.” Sticky players are the guys who make a good hand and never let it die, even if they’re probably beat. Most sticky players will know they’re beat when they make that final call, but they keep on doing it time and time again. The problem is that they make the incorrect assumption that if they make their hand, they’ll win the pot. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.

To avoid being sticky, you only need to do one thing: fold. This is a really easy thing to do, however, is one of the most difficult things for many people to handle. Nobody wants to be bluffed out of a pot, because then you look like an idiot for a few minutes. It also opens the door again the next time you get a pretty good hand that might be a winner. There are also those kinds of people who act like berserker warriors at the table, always charging into the fray, who think that folding is somehow un-manly. They tend to behave as though you can only win the war by winning all the battles.

Folding to a bluff is not a bad thing. Bluffs will work some times, and if it happens to you a few times, you’re not alone. The best players in the world recognize that giving in to a bluff is a fact of life, and that you can run from those skirmishes if it sets you up to win the bigger battles later on.

Eventually, you can hone your poker skill to the point where you know what to do based on the feel of the situation, but if you continue to end up on the short end of the stick, remember to use the rule!

Millions nowadays are playing this addicting massive multiplayer online role-playing game(MMORPG): world of warcraft(WOW), if not mistaken more than seven (7) million. Players vary in ages, mostly teenagers, some are young adults, females or males, professionals, non-professionals,children below 18 years old, with parents’ consent and came from all over the world.

Here comes the catch, recently blizzard are implementing this firm banning program for a reason which is to in still the essence of the game, that would mean fair play, continue fun, to mention some. Yes who doesn’t want that in the first place? All of the players do, especially those who really are enthusiasts.

That’s why many players try DominoQQ online and other games to enjoy. However, its understandable if you want to get at the bottom of this problematic banning first.

Somehow there are some inevitable third parties who are trailblazers and trying to get involved in this addicting game. Lots of add-ons are available to WOW: the coordinates, the voice conference and the like wherein is really good right? (don’t be hypocrites, it is!), to add more, there are some third parties who keeps on taunting warcraft players to pay them for fast leveling of their characters,get more honors or points (so what will happen is the players will just relax and their characters will be awesome), for just days or weeks. Here comes another offer exchange virtual currencies into real money: that is where the selling and buying of gold takes place in WOW.

Who won’t be tempted by these offers of the third parties, some players say it would be nice,especially if they have a lot of money, why won’t they grab the opportunity, some also stated that sounds good in making extra money, some implied add-ons, coordinates and the likes are cool stuffs.

Suddenly and personally, I just knew that blizzard is banning their players and no refund? Because oft hose things done by third parties mentioned above. Yes, I do understand if they are having that banning program, but banning your customers with no refunds, no prior warning, no friendly customer service available (imagine you’ve got to contact them through email, then reply to you after four days? Why? Can’t they afford to have a better customer service? What took them four days to reply, when banning players took only a snap of their fingers?). That’s a different and upsetting story, it’s an off-putting move. Oh my! Do they realize that players are real people, who spent not only money but their time in this game? Why won’t they treat players better than that?Why won’t they ban the third parties instead?Why won’t they go directly to the source of these all?

The advertisements are so rampant in the internet, even if you just have to type sell + buy gold +wow, you’ll get bunch of results out of it. Sad to say, but I think they have this hidden agreement along the way.

Yes, a hopeless player stated “we’re just a drop into their ocean of customers”, sad truth. But still some of the players are kicking and trying their best to solve this, especially those who were banned with a positive false findings: banned simply because they leveled up to 60 for just a week, have add-ons on WOW and even some just merely by not playing it for months and when tried to log in surprised they were banned. To add, some motivated and concerned people are not going to stop unless this will be given a fair and clearer judgment. There’s even a website about petitions that this issue has been submitted and others sent their complaints directly to Better Business Bureau (BBB).

The game itself is awesome, everyone can attest to that,but until when are they going to say it?Until when are they going to be so very careful not to be banned? If I’m the customer why would I pay more than hundred bucks for the original version, extended version (burning crusade) and monthly subscription, to enjoy for even as short as two weeks and anticipate the thought of being banned? Until now, I still don’t get the point of the essence of the game that they are trying to say.Will someone explain it to me?

Imagine a world shaped by the evolution of online gaming, where people leave their homes only in emergencies and conduct the majority of their business and social interactions using digital representations of themselves, or avatars, in massively multi-player, online role-playing games (MMORPGs) and virtual worlds. You can visit judi online to play multiplayer online games. This website lets you play poker and other card games online with your friends or other online players.

Science fiction author Neal Stephenson brought to life a fully immersive online world such as this in his 1992 novel, Snow Crash, and dubbed it the Metaverse. In Stephenson’s vision of the digital evolution of humanity, an all-encompassing virtual world a lot like today’s MMORPGs ceased to be a game at all, becoming the only reality worth living.

As businessmen who grew up on Pacman and Mario introduce millions of online gamers to the immersive worlds of Orcs and Night Elves, they also are making decisions that will help shape the future of the online media.

Though it was by no means the first commercially successful online role-playing game, Blizzard Entertainment’s “World of Warcraft” has broken the MMORPG genre wide open, currently drawing more than 10 million players each month, most of whom pay a monthly fee of about $15.

Web entrepreneurs have set up sites where in-game currency from “World of Warcraft” and other MMORPG titles can be bought and sold, leading to a subculture of gamers who literally play games online for a living.

Online virtual worlds are now evolving past the stage of just-for-fun MMORPGs into tools to test new products, concepts and business models on the millions of individuals who spend huge portions of their days “jacked in.”

Leading the charge of such online alternate realities is Linden Lab’s “Second Life.” Different than other online worlds, “Second Life” has no set objectives. Instead, the free-form virtual world emphasizes creativity, technical innovation and social interaction.

“Second Life” citizens use Linden Lab’s tool kit to create digital representations of everything from luxury condos and functioning universities to strip clubs and brothels.

Part of Second Life’s steady growth is due to the fact that a digital object’s creator retains intellectual property rights to its use, leading to the buying and selling of goods and services using Second Life’s in-game currency, the Linden.

Lindens can then be exchanged for real-world currency between “Second Life” inhabitants on a website officially sanctioned by the virtual world’s parent company.

Online gamers and MMORPG developers are changing the landscape of how content and advertising are created by, and delivered to, online consumers every single day. Commercial enterprises, and even governments, have set up shop in “Second Life,” using the virtual reality world for product promotions and public relations.

Will we soon live in a world where an in-the-know avatar can walk up to a Nike outlet store in an online virtual world, try on the company’s latest basketball shoes tailored to pixel-perfect representations of his or her own feet, and immediately order the “real” shoes for delivery using in-game money earned working the bar at a digital night club?
