Player's Guide For Making First Deposit

Beyond making the first deposit is where the satisfaction to online poker cravings start. Before that, the searches continues, forever looking for a poker room that can be called home. Maybe some of the hidden features that attracts potential players the most is the aesthetics value of the poker room. It was designed to be appealing and catchy. If it did, it has done its job. 

The next point of consideration left is for the players to decide themselves.

But having so many poker rooms to gorge at can leave almost anyone brain dead. Needless to say, there are few more points anyone can based their decisions on. In no particular order, before making a deposit, read through what their terms and conditions are like. At least find out if the country you are located at are not under their restriction or ban lists. 

From a personal experience, I have signed up for an account and played countless hours of real money games to find my country was restricted. Lucky for me I have yet to deposit. As a player, playing freerolls is a good way to find if the room is up to your taste. Don't like their freerolls, leave. Don't like their software, leave. If a room can't provide a good freeroll, it tells a lot about their company. 

Many poker rooms offer live help through live chat facility. Strike a conversation with their representatives. Ask questions. Find out about the company. Be a responsible player. Conveniently, options are open to anyone for having made a first deposit before at one online poker room to make another at a different one. Because there are just that many online poker rooms. But a happy player will be willing to make more deposits in the future.

Health Issues Poker Athletes May Concern

Knowing poker to the uninitiated can just be a mere gamble of chips, but it is actually a sport. It involves all a sportsman's prowess more if not equal to any other sports. It takes an athlete constant dedication and hardwork to prepare himself for the game.

Being like a sport athlete, poker athletes consume their training on countless amount of hands and time. This proves itself later on the felt where agility meets mental strength and experience.

A poker athlete need to stay fit and on top of his toes to be card sharp. Busily grinding away can easily make the athlete forget of possible health threats.

Most athletes depended on adrenaline to stretch the limit. A poker athlete will feel this rush all the same. Hence with adrenaline too much in the system, it may be too late to realize that you are overworked. It is always important to know when to rest and play.

Playing online poker will mean spending more time in front of a screen. Having countless hours in a seated position reduces one's mobility and this could easily induce numbness along major part of human bodies.

Everyone loves to have a stimulating working environment. When your office can be your bedroom, it is best to always keep it clean and refreshing. A poker athlete's working space is also his resting space lest it be claustrophobic.

Having the eyes fixated for a long time to a screen is certainly not healthy. Our eyes are one of the most sensitive organs. We use it everyday and they should not be a matter to be overlook.

Not having proper sleep due to grinding on the felt can be detrimental. The human body has it's own time clock. Forcing the body to be awake when it should be replenishing itself adds extra stress.

The part of the bodies taking part in this daily activities include our wrist, forearms and fingers. The only thing physical about it is mouse clicking. Sometimes not having an ergonomical pose for our arm and wrist can give a real problem. The most severe case will be developing a Carpal tunnel syndrome. Worst case scenario would be an operation to fix it.

A human body have tells much like poker tells. Fatigue and stress is a sign that tells it is enough session for the day. The body needs to shut down and rest. Often times, playing after this threshold contributes a lot towards a tilting session.

The poker bug continues to take on everybody. It is a simple game to learn and a long way to master. It also makes sense to take in all we can learn and be concern to take care of ourselves. Read more

The Art Of Second Law

I recently had an opportunity to re-read a book I have for a few years now. It was a favourite book of mine. After revisited the chapters, it finally came to me what it all meant. I couldn't get it back then, I got it now. The Second Law, it was something much much more.

It was how everything that was meant to be have got this second law to blame. With this law there was simply a point of no return. Back before its time, if we have waited long enough we could see things running backward instead of forward. Just as how a wheel that spins forward can also be spinning backward. This was however flawed.

The night always chases the day. The trees will rise up to the sky and fall. And human beings will grow old and die. This was how second law acted on us. Global warming will continuously be an issue and oil/fuel will be a resource that is getting lesser by the day. It was not about energy crisis, but more of how energy have dissipated.

All matter, as always, returned into less structured and less ordered state. A bad beat at poker happened not because of variance but because of the Second Law. Because everything will resume into a less ordered state. As I understood it, it was irreversible!!

Having a bad beat was nothing more than Second Law trying to proclaim its existence. Bad beats happened in contrast to the player fighting to reclaim his losses.

In the long run, the end will be inevitable. Humans will be gone. Civilisations will be gone. The sun will collapse. The end of world is nigh. - Will we won't be able to see the end of time?

Whatever will be, will be. The end will come. Que sera sera. Read more
