			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding your Work from Home Business</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all there in the title. It encompasses such a broad spectrum of possibilities that people generally get lost and disgruntled searching for the right &#8216;Online Business&#8217;.</p>
<p>Time and vast amounts of hard earned cash gets wasted on scams and &#8216;Get Rich Quick&#8217; schemes and programs that of course are &#8216;too good to be true&#8217; It&#8217;s no wonder people searching for the right opportunity never find what they are looking for.</p>
<p>Well, as I said it&#8217;s there in the title! Look for a business. Forget the stuff that clogs the arteries of the Internet, the scams and rip-off merchants, look for a &#8216;Real Online Business&#8217;. <a href='http://www.grantjohn.com' target='_blank'>Sack Your Job</a> One that can service or enhance most or all of the other business opportunities out there.</p>
<p>I had become increasingly lost and frustrated and almost quit my own &#8216;Home Business&#8217; search for good. After months scouring the Internet looking for an alternative to trading my time for money by working for someone else, I was becoming disillusioned.</p>
<p>After months of research my patience and due diligence finally paid off. I had discovered one business in particular that for me, stood out by a country mile.</p>
<p>What you must look for is a genuine business, with full support that provides step-by-step guidance on how to build your Internet business and quickly show you results.</p>
<p>No more online &#8216;Forex Trading&#8217; or wasting time and effort trying to Affiliate Market product after product. No more &#8216;Systems&#8217; like the &#8216; Martingale system&#8217; and automated money pit rubbish and empty promises. I had tried it all over the years and had spent thousands of dollars/pounds chasing rainbows.</p>
<p>The business I chose is accessible to everyone. Everyone that is who is willing to put in a little effort and not expect something for nothing. I&#8217;m not talking hours and hours spent in front of a computer screen, in fact the opposite. <a href='http://www.thesixfiguresmentor.com' target='_blank'>Free Mentoring</a> Once you are set up, the powerful software and marketing suite that this business provides will enable you to be working only when you choose, and for as long as you want to work. There is no need for ANY previous experience at all and no need for your own products &#8211; it&#8217;s really that simple. This is what you need to look for, as I keep saying &#8211; look for a real business!</p>
<p>True time freedom is totally achievable; enabling you to spend time with your family and not working 30, 40, 50 hours a week making someone else rich.</p>
<p>The more you put in, the more you will get out. There are genuine home business out there that can quickly replace your income, and grow exponentially to beyond six figures, you just need to know where to look.</p>
<p>I just wish I had started my search years ago when I needed a &#8216;Student loan&#8217; paying off. Imagine paying off all of your studies at college or university before graduation, or clearing all of your credit card debt or mortgage, well now maybe it&#8217;s possible. The only maybe is down to you. To take action is all you need to do. Take control of your future today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started my journey to find scratcher strategies in February of this year. My birthday is in February, and for the past few years I’ve spent a few dollars from my birthday money and bought scratch off cards. Last year I was pretty lucky, I ended up winning about twice as much as I spent, but there was no set strategy I played. I would walk up to the counter and pick a scratcher. This year, in anticipation of my birthday, I wanted to have a strategy to win even more money. I set about online to see if there were any viable strategies I could learn.</p>
<p>Before I started my search, I knew of one key strategy. For the past few months, whenever I wanted to by a scratch off ticket, I would check my state’s website to see which games had the top available prizes. Luckily, the website Scratcher Strategies has links to each states Top Available Prizes, making the search much easier than before. Generally games that have been newly released are the best games to play. Why the new games? No one has had time to win the big prizes, leaving more big prizes out there. A lot of people think that once all the big prizes have been claimed that a game comes to an end. This is simply not true. In most states, a certain game will continue to be sold until 90% of the tickets have been purchased. </p>
<p>Let’s take $1 Texas <a href='http://www.scratcherstrategies.com' target='_blank'>scratch offs</a> tickets for an example. I’m going to look at four specific scratch offs and let you know which one I think would be best to pick and why.</p>
<p>Number Safari: There are approximately 10,370,250 total tickets printed for this game. There are 129 total big prizes of $1,000. As of March 19, 2011, 5 of these games have been claimed. The odds of winning any prizes (cash and TICKET) are 1:4.85.</p>
<p>Double Dollars: Approximately 12,353,550 of these scratch offs have been printed. There are a total of 105 $1,000 big winners. As of March 19, 2011, 38 of these have been claimed. The odds of winning any prize are 1:4.31.</p>
<p>Triple Win: This game has approximately 10,369,000 scratch offs in this game. There are a total of 27 $3,000 prizes, and 25 of these have been claimed. The overall odds of winning any prize are 1:4.85.</p>
<p>Cactus Cash: Cactus Cash has approximately 1,372,950 scratch off tickets in this game. There are a total of 87 $1,000 prizes, and 31 have been claimed. The overall odds of winning a prize with this game are 1:4.31.</p>
<p>If I lived in Texas and had $10 to spend on scratchers (I never buy less than 10 of the SAME tickets at a time), I would buy Double Dollars. While more top prizes have been claimed for Double Dollars than for Number Safari, the odds of winning any prize is better for Double Dollars. Plus, there are only 27,625 prizes $20 and up left for Number Safari, while there are 31,062 prizes $20 and up left for Double Dollars. </p>
<p>It is important to take in the entire picture when buying  <a href="http://www.scratcherstrategies.com/articledirectory.htm" target="_blank" class="broken_link">tickets</a>. Don’t blindly walk into a store and pick a ticket because it “feels” lucky. There are strategies to buying scratch offs!</p>
<p>Find out practical recommendations in the sphere of <a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLs2MvqvUq4' target='_blank'>Numis Network review</a> &#8211;  make sure to study the web site. The time has come when concise info is truly at your fingertips, use this chance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One wouldn’t think there is a marketing strategy to selling <a href='http://www.scratcherstrategies.com' target='_blank'>scratch offs</a> tickets. Many think they just walk into a convenience store, look through the glass in the counter, and pick a ticket that looks good. One might think that visiting a store that has copies of big winner tickets in the windows indicates the luck of the store, and will buy tickets from these places rather than places that do not have copies of winners in the window.</p>
<p>There are actually several marketing strategies behind scratch off tickets. The first strategy I’d like to cover is the copies of winners in the window I mentioned before. If you walk into a store that has copies of the big winner tickets hanging all over the place, WALK AWAY! In most cases (not all) the store owners are scamming you. Let me explain.</p>
<p>A store owner buys a book of scratchers for $150. In most states, a book of scratch offs retails at $300, no matter what price the ticket is. So, if it’s a book of $1 scratch offs, then there will be $300 scratch offs in the book. If it’s a book of $2 scratch offs, then there will be 150 scratch offs in the book, etc. It is not uncommon for store owners to buy the $150 book at a wholesale price, then scratch all the tickets. Let’s say in this particular book, the owner has uncovered about 30 scratch offs that win between a TICKET and $50 each, making their initial $150 back. Then in that book of scratch offs, the store owner uncovers a $1,000 winner. That store owner just made $1,000 in pure profit. Putting these winners around the store is misleading and will cause you to think that particular store is lucky.</p>
<p>On to less shady marketing strategies to get you to buy scratch offs. </p>
<p>Names are a big deal in scratch off games. Everything is in a name. Would you rather buy a ticket called Set for Life, or Piggies in a Blanket? Obviously you would choose Set for Life. The name alone suggests fortune and winnings.</p>
<p>Secondly, the colors of the ticket are a factor in determining if you will buy the scratch off or not. When we were kids Lucky and the pirates were always going after the GOLD. Money is GREEN. Diamonds sparkle BLUE and WHITE graphically. We are attracted to things that look prosperous. Would you pick a scratch off that is mostly green and looks like a $100 bill, or would you pick a scratch off that has pictures of buildings on them?</p>
<p>I have noticed that many scratch off have pop references such as Las Vegas, popular bands, and popular cartoon characters. These scratch offs are designed to appeal to your empathetic nostalgic side or to your associations. Generally one associates Las Vegas with fun and winning, so when we see a scratch off called Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas, we subconsciously think the scratch off is fun and a winning. </p>
<p>Finally, in my research on scratch offs, I have noticed an interesting trend in New York, Washington D.C., and Texas. They are called the Black and Gold cards. In New York, there is a $5 scratch off called New York Lottery Black. It looks very elegant and exclusive. Likewise, Texas has Texas Lottery Black Series and Texas Lottery Black II Series – Limited Edition. These look exactly like the New York Black series. Washington D.C. has District of Columbia Black that costs $20 and District of Columbia Gold, which also costs $20. These tickets invoke a sense of belonging in an elite club and prestige. </p>
<p>Don’t be fooled by winning <a href="http://www.scratcherstrategies.com/articledirectory.htm" target="_blank" class="broken_link">ticket</a> hanging in store windows. Don’t get taken away by fancy names or dazzling colors or nostalgic associations or even the feeling of belonging to an elite club. Pick the ticket with the best odds and that has the highest amount of top prizes left.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='http://www.layingodds.com' target='_blank'>Online casino</a> all  slot machines have a list of possible winning combinations, what they pay and the probability of them coming up.  A slot machine that pays the same amount for each coin bet is called a straight machine.  So, if the maximum payout for a single coin bet is eight hundred coins, a two coin bet will pay 1,600 coins and a three coin bet will pay 2,400 coins. In the sample payout schedule, if the coin size were twenty five cents, a three coin bet would pay $600 and a $1 coin size would pay $2,400 for a three coin bet. This example is from a balanced payout schedule. More often you will see <a href='http://www.layingodds.com' target='_blank'>online gambling</a> payout schedules that pay higher amounts when the maximum coins are played. </p>
<p>An unbalanced payout schedule may pay a maximum of 200 coins for a single coin, 400 for a two coin bet and 1,000 coins for a three coin bet. Each slot machine can have it’s own payout schedule. It is always important to know and understand slot machines payouts because they are not always consistently proportional. The greatest variations occur on progressive slots. These slots are set up to pay at a lower rate on smaller hits, while the jackpot is a true jackpot. The jackpot is a pool that grows each time someone takes a chance on one of the designated machines. </p>
<p>Slots are set up to encourage players to play more coins. By playing more coins the player usually increases their chances. Most machines allow you to select the value of the coin that you will play with. When the payout schedule pays at a higher rate for more coins, you are better off playing smaller denominations and maximum coins. This concept seems simple, but many jackpots have been lost by careless play. </p>
<p>If a slot machine has been paying off regularly it is said to be loose. A slot machine that has not hit in a while is thought to be due. These are myths and need to be understood as such. Remember that past performance in no way effects future games. Slot machines are completely random. They use a random number generator to select winners. Each pull of a slot machine, or game, is completely separate than the previous game. Luck is a larger factor in slots than in table games. The key to slot machines is that they are set up with different payback percentages and hit frequencies. Table game odds do not change much from casino to casino because the rules of these games are consistent. Since there is very little skill involved in playing slots, you need to take advantage of every opportunity that you can. </p>
<p>If your goal is to play as long as possible you should look at the lower winning symbol combinations. Choose a machine that offers the most winnings for the lower and medium symbol combos, because these are the ones you will be hitting most often, which will keep you playing longer. Do not play a slot machine simply because it has a high maximum payout. The chances of winning a large jackpot are very small. The odds of actually hitting the top combination do not change even when the payout rate is higher. Machines that have balanced payout schedules and high payout rates will be your best bet if you are looking to play for a long time without spending a lot of money. Play slot machines that have pay rates in line with your goals.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is a summary of some Texas Hold&#8217;em Poker tips that will allow you establish your own preflop <a href='http://pokerchief.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>strategy</a>. This will prevent you from playing too many hands and getting drawn in to Texas Holdem pots you just should avoid be playing into. You often ask yourself &#8211; should I be playing that pair of 7&#8242;s preflop? That all is based on the current situation on the table.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s look at some factors that will have an effect on whether you play those 7&#8242;s in your Texas Hold&#8217;em game.</p>
<p>Before everything else, you have to take into consideration the number of players involved in your game. The more players in the game, the harder the opposition is going to be. There will be a better chance of another player having a superior preflop Texas Holdem hand than yours. Furthermore, with more players involved in the game, there are further chances that another player will hit a hand on the flop.</p>
<p>Are the players in your game aggressive? Aggressive Hold&#8217;em players can lose. But they can as well knock you out of the game pretty fast. You&#8217;ll want to play more conservative with aggressive players sitting on your table. The very last thing you want to do with aggressive players is try to bluff and go over the top of them without a hand. Your Texas Hold&#8217;em Poker night will come to an end rapidly.</p>
<p>How much chips you have, the size of the blinds, and whether or not you are playing limit or no limit Texas Hold&#8217;em, will all have a role in your decision how you play the preflop. This involves the hands you&#8217;ll bet into, and how much you&#8217;ll bet. You&#8217;ll play the preflop in a different manner with a bankroll of $2,000 sitting at a $1/$2 table than if you are shortstacked at a $10/$20 table. In the first scenario, you can play aggressively.</p>
<p>Another factor is your position at the poker table. Whether you&#8217;re in early position or late, especially preflop, will significantly have an impact on how much control you can have on the pot, as well as what hands you should play.</p>
<p>Your temperament when it comes to playing Texas Hold&#8217;em Poker will also influence how you play preflop? Do you play aggressively, betting frequently to see quite a bit of the flops? Or do you play tight and only play solid hands, which keeps you out of a lot of hands? You have to build your playing style.</p>
<p>As a final point, you&#8217;ll want to have a basic information of your <a href='http://52471yn6wzvw0x66pjp0o9ling.hop.clickbank.net/' target='_blank'>preflop odds</a> in Texas Holdem Poker. Here&#8217;s a quick guide to help you out: <br />
- a high pocket pair against a smaller pocket pair (like QQ vs. 77) will give you about an 80%/20% advantage preflop<br />
- if you have a pocket pair and bet into two overcards (99 vs. AK) is basically the toss of a coin, around a 55/45 advantage to the pocket pair<br />
- if you hold a pocket pair and bet into the same card with an overcard (99 vs. A9) you hold roughly a 65/35 edge <br />
- two over against two undercards, such as KQ vs. J10, will give you about a 60/35 advantage.</p>
<p>As you can see, Texas Holdem is most certainly a game of skill and strategy. There is a lot that goes into whether or not you even get into a hand preflop!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Finland, lotteries have been around since July 1940 year. Then, the company named Tippaustoimisto Oy Ab, otherwise called shortly Tipp Lotto, was estabilished by Finnish government. In September of 1940 year, there was estabilished very first lotto game in Finland and was called then : &#8220;Constant&#8221;.</p>
<p>Then came 1975 year when Finnish government opened a new lottery company called Vekkaus. The headquarters of this lottery games company,are in Vekkaus town. Finnish state owns 100% of this company. All Vekkaus games are licensed and sanctioned by Finnish government, up to now.</p>
<p>Finland country is not a big one when, we measure it by the level of population. There are only around 5 Millions people are living in this beatufull country. Finland is very famous of it&#8217;s beautifull lakes, wild nature and strong winters. <br />
This is paradox, that Finns love to play lottery games. In fact, over 70 % of Finnish population, play Veikkaus Lotto on a regular basis. It seems that Veikkaus games are a traditional part of society in Finland.</p>
<p>Finns loves to play national lotto because, the majority of funds collected are going back to support Finnish society, by various ways. Lotteries in other countries tends to support only governments ( high taxes ) and sport events and facilities. Originally, profits from Finland Lottery, went towards sport related activities.</p>
<p>However, starting from 1956 year, areas that benefit from Oy Veikkaus Ab lottery company include cinema, museums, theaters, orchestras, local cultural activities and events, the construction and renovation of sports facilities, the support of domestic and international youth projects as well as youth research and training. </p>
<p>Let us talk about Vakkaus Lotto game. <a href='http://www.lotto-game.com/finland-lotto.html' target='_blank'>Finnish Lotto</a> is a traditional jackpot lotto game, which uses so called matrix 7/39. which means that you have to choose 7 lucky numbers from a range of numbers from 1 to 39.</p>
<p>Except 7 main numbers, there also is one additional number drawn. This additional number, otherwise called bonus number, is used to determine 2nd prize. The smallest prize could be won if you will match 4 main numbers. </p>
<p>Jackpots for Finnish Lottery starts from Euro 700,000. Every time that the Finnish Lottery jackpot is not won then, it will &#8220;rollover&#8221;  and will be added onto the jackpot for the next draw. <br />
Draws for the Finland Lottery take place on saturdays 20:45 of local time and are transmitted by Finnish television.</p>
<p>The odds of winning on the Finnish Lottery are very competitive, when compared to other worldwide lotteries. The chances to win second prize are only 1 in 734,426 – really very low odds, when you match 6 of main numbers. To win the lowest prize, the odds are 1 to just 73.</p>
<p>The other reason that Finns loves to play Vakkaus lottery game, could be a very low entry level. One line ticket for Vakkaus Lotto cost Euro 0,80. This means the lowest entry than in any other European lottery compared. This low entry also means that players are afford to play more than one line ticket.</p>
<p>You will need to be just 15 years old to be able to buy Finland Lotto ticket, when you buy it locally, in person. In Finland there is a slightly lower age limit  than in  most countries. </p>
<p>However, nowadays, you do not have to live in Finland to buy Finland Lotto ticket. With help of Internet, you are able to buy such ticket online and play that way on regular basis.</p>
<p>Finnish citizens will like the great news that, they can buy now <a href='http://www.lotto-game.com/euromillions.html' target='_blank'>Euromillions</a> tickets online. Euromillions is a biggest European lotto game and, up to now, was not available to Finnish players, locally. </p>
<p>&#8230;and, this is working the other way, too. Every lottery belover have got now the opportunity to buy Finnish Lottery ticket, from any place in the World. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s the really great news for players hunting for big jackpots or who want to play other lottery with more favourable winning odds, than their local lottery..<br />
Good luck in playing Finnish Lotto !</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In poker starting hands are important to many pros. However when playing a more conservative style of play, starting hands are a little over rated. In fact I recommend that you focus more on what your opponent doesn’t have, as opposed to what your starting hand looks like. Either way I am going to review various starting hands in this article and how to play them so you gain <a href='http://www.outplaypoker.com' target='_blank'>11.5 Poker Chips</a> even before the flop comes.</p>
<p>Ok let’s talk about the easiest hands first, big pairs. Big pairs include aces, kings, queens and jacks. However jacks are more of a marginal pair. Now when you have aces or kings you better start throwing chips because these hands are worth risking it all pre-flop. There are some situations where kings can be folded pre-flop, but those odds are close to one and a million. Even if you do flip over your kings and see you are battling aces, you will win almost a fifth of the time. You should never get the thought that you are a bad player just because you got knocked out by sticking it all in pre-flop with kings.</p>
<p>Now with queens and jacks the same is not true. In fact because of the style of play that I usually employ, I will most times even call a raise instead of three betting the hand. With these hands, in most cases you are only ahead by a tiny margin. If you’re not ahead though, you’re behind by a mile. This is why it is smart to play these hands more cautiously then the average player. As well this will add another mask to your game, and will let everyone at the table know that you can have anything.</p>
<p>When you look down to middle pair pre-flop, please do not over value these hands. Pairs like tens, nines, eights and sevens are not premium hands, so please do not value them as they are. Do not get me wrong these are good hands to have, but this is not because of their pre-flop strength it is because of their value later on. I would recommend making a small two and a half to three times the big blind raise if you are the first one into the pot. Your evil plan with hands such as these should be to flop trips and then milk your opponents. Again, that plan does not include playing this hand without a set when your opponent is bringing the heat.</p>
<p>On to the smaller pairs, I suggest playing these pairs very similar to the way you are supposed to play middle pairs. Again with these pairs your overall plan should be to flop a set. On the other hand you should not be re-raising your opponents before the flop with hands like these. Some professionals will re-raise with these hands, but too often you will be in a coin flip situation for way too many chips. Again as a more conservative player, this is not your goal.</p>
<p>Ok, so we have gone over how to play pairs when you see them pre-flop. You should know not to under-value big pairs, but more importantly do not over-value middle and low pairs. All too often players in tournaments get knocked out or run into a large set back because they over-valued their hand. Don’t let that rookie mistake into your repertoire of poker knowledge. So now it is time to go get a <a href='http://www.outplaypoker.com' target='_blank'>Poker Chip Set</a> and win some money!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you may have noticed or seen countless times if you play poker is that no matter what you do, you will have a short stack at one point or another in your career. Maybe it is simply because you just cannot catch a decent hand. Anyways, an important tool in any professional’s arsenal is knowing how to play a short stack.</p>
<p>Most players will tell you that when you get a short stack, well then it is almost time to throw in the towel. However on the contrary to popular belief this is the time to play your best. Even though you are below average at this point you do have options!</p>
<p>A prime example of this is professional player Jack Strauss who came to win the WSOP Main Event after being down to just one single chip. This is where many believe the poker motto “Just a chip and a chair” came from. So like Jack, instead of giving up there are a few tips that you can use to take your game to the next level even when your <a href='http://www.outplaypoker.com/' target='_blank'>11.5 Gram Poker Chips</a> have seemed to disappear. </p>
<p>Most importantly when you have a short stack is to start with a premium hand. This is simply not the time to be chasing suited connectors. You are looking for hands that are likely premium before the flop and remain strong after the flop as well. </p>
<p>The next thing is to go All In! One of the most powerful weapons you can use while you have little to no poker chips is to bet them all. This lets everyone at the table know you are serious about your hand. Now if everyone folds, great since this should be your main goal. However is someone does call, this is where your decent hand should be strong enough to withstand a shaky board.</p>
<p>Another important fact is to be the first person to act at the pot. It is a lot more intimidating if you go all in first, than if someone raises and then you go all in. In fact this also increases their chances of calling since they might believe you are just making a move.</p>
<p>Most of all you want to avoid the big stacks at the poker table. These are the players that are more likely to call because your small amount of <a href='http://www.outplaypoker.com/' target='_blank'>Clay Poker Chips</a> just will not do much damage to their mountain of chips. Instead you want to target other short stacks, and average sized stacks. Other short stacks are looking to find a good hand as well before they push so if they did not find one, which chances are they won’t they will instantly fold their cards. Average sized stacks as well have to be careful with their chips. The will think twice before calling your all in call, simply because they don’t want to lose themselves. </p>
<p>To make your game better, try to adjust your strategy to your chip stack. If you are just below average there is no reason to drastically change your style. On the other hand, if you only have two big blinds left, it is time to widen up your “premium hands” range.  The last thing in a tournament that you want to do is ante yourself to death. When you become really low, just about any face card will do the trick.</p>
<p>So the next time you are on a short stack remember this advice. As well think about Jack Strauss, and who knows maybe you make a comeback. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Attention all poker players. It is time to ditch those tired beatup  habits before they deliver your <a href='http://www.outplaypoker.com' target='_blank'>11.5 gram poker chip</a> across the table. I’m going to share with you today the top ten mistakes that make you stand out as a rookie at the poker table.</p>
<p>The number ten reason everyone at the table thinks you’re a rookie is because you bluff way too much. Many inexperienced players watch way too many movies and then think if the just keep bluffing, they will keep winning. They will see a pro like Gus Hansen bluff on the World Series of Poker with 8-2 off suit and somehow think they can do it too. The rookie will tend to miss the three hours of play that lead up to this bluff. The large flaw in this style of play is that early in the game everyone knows that you love to bluff. Then your style is just shot down over and over again.</p>
<p>Right next to that is the fact that many untrained rookies do not have the patience to play poker. If you play poker correctly, you’ll often find that you will be waiting around what seems like ages for a decent pair of cards. Pros will wait it out, while rookies will go ahead and play cards that they know they shouldn’t just for the sake of playing poker. If you are doing this then simply put all your <a href='http://www.outplaypoker.com' target='_blank'>clay poker chips</a> in a package and just airmail straight across the table.</p>
<p>Next, the most advertised rookie mistake is playing limits they cannot afford. There is nothing in the game of poker that breaks your  confidence  faster than this. By doing this you will find yourself thinking about other things like a mortgage, and this my friend takes up space in your head that should be concentrating on playing poker. There is simply no way to continually go positive playing poker when you have to worry about how you will get to work if your card doesn’t hit the river. So my words of advice are “get out now”!</p>
<p>Another mistake that many don’t hear about that often is drinking while playing. If you are playing poker you need all your mental strength focused on your game.  You’ll find that yourself making costly mistakes that you wouldn’t have made if you didn’t knock down a couple beers before playing. It is no coincidence that the casino offers you free drinks while you play, they know the effects and now so do you! I mean you do not see Tom “Derr” Dwan showing up to High Stakes Poker sipping on a margarita.</p>
<p>Ok now let’s talk about an exit strategy. There is no defined strategy about when you should get up and leave the table. Most rookies will leave when they are barley positive in comparison to the amount of chips in play. They often employ the “quit ahead and chase behind” strategy which means they will quit with little winnings but keep playing when they arelosing a lot. This is exactly the opposite of what you should be doing. When you have a lot of chips in front of you, you have a impressive table image you should use to get even more poker chips. On the other hand when you are losing everybody at the table notices that you are on tilt and takes advantage of you.</p>
<p>Now the next reason applies to both rookies and pros is playing in games against opponents that you know you cannot beat. This will kill your  entire bankroll. This leads right into the next mistake which is keep your ego in check. I don’t mean to burst your bubble but the day you realize that  you can learn a thing or two is the day you start on the road to becoming a real pro.</p>
<p>Next is simply playing way to many hands. Most rookies will play hands that pros would stay away from because they do not understand the value of starting with premium hands. Some will play a pair like 8-3 and give the reason “I played them because they were suited”. </p>
<p>One of the most important mistakes is playing on tilt. Daniel Negreanu once said “Tilt eats bankrolls for breakfast!” Well not only that but it will gobble up your life savings too if you’re not careful. A player on tilt will often chase miracle hands even when he knows he shouldn’t.</p>
<p>Finally, the number one rookie mistake is simply playing too many hours. I mean come on you would stay at your old nine to five job for 20 hours, so don’t do it at the poker table. Your mind will go into sleep mode and you will convince yourself that you’re playing really well, even though everyone else is laughing at you.</p>
<p>So these are the top ten rookie mistakes made in the game of poker. If you catch yourself making these mistakes, well then it is time to go back to the training before you go to your next game. So have a good time, and don’t play like a rookie poker.</p>
