It seems that this week is one fantastic week, for all of the hype around the iPad seems to be taking the world over and now – how does that affect the poker world? Well, can you actually play online poker via the iPad? That is the question that I have been racking my brain with and finally, we have an answer.
Well, the iPad definitely is going to be the hottest technology in the world and it is actually a fantastic tool to use whenever you are looking to do some online poker. The reason for that is because it is so high-tech, so quick and the picture is so clear, you will have a fantastic time using it for online poker.
You just have to remember that if you do want to use it that all of the software needs to be compatible with a Mac versus a PC!
Think about something for me.
Via faux pas on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, et cetera, people lose jobs. They lose significant others. And now, they are losing poker games as well.
People are given to bragging when they do something well. That is understandable … but not always wise.
With so many social networking sites and everyone’s access to them, it is even less wise.
Ever won a game and taken to your Facebook to start bragging about the strategies you use?
Well next time you play at a casino, don’t be surprised if your opponents know exact what you are doing — because they have read it.
Playing poker is fun. However it can also get pretty cut throat. This is especially true of Texas Hold ‘Em. So, before you sit down to play a game, there are a few questions you ought to ask yourself.
For starters, you need to be honest with yourself about why you are playing in any particular game. Do you want to actually learn about the game? Looking to polish your tricks? Want to win some money, or just having a good time with your friends?
You also need to question your own mindset and demeanor. If you are too stressed out, it’s time to step away.
Playing poker is one of those games that you are going to have to watch your money on. It is one game that will take all of the money that you have if you let it and you can not let it. Keeping a watch on your money is always a great idea, just to ensure that you do not spend more money than you can afford on a game like poker.
Poker is expensive – it is a game that takes a heck of a lot of money to play if you want to earn any money in the end. There are many different ways that you can keep track of your money though, just to ensure that you do not spend it all.
One great idea is that you come with just a small amount and do not let yourself go over. That way, you are not spending a lot and keeping yourself to a budget.
Now that we have touched on playing too many hands, it is now time to explore playing the wrong hand in the wrong position. Most of the time, beginners – if they get a good hand, want to play it right away. Your position is definitely the most important aspect in poker and most of the time it is neglected. While a 10 pair might seem like a good starting hand, but is it good in the position that you are in?
Late positions have the advantage over the earlier positions as they can see exactly what their opponents have before they lay down their own cards. The rule of thumb for this tip is that you want to play again – lesser hands in the early position and more in the late position.
You always want to make sure that you stop playing if you are not one hundred percent committed too. To be honest – poker is all about the commitment and if you are not for real don’t play that day.
Seven cards stud poker is played all over the world. The players are dealt with two cards facing down and a card which is exposed. 
After this a betting round follows. After each round of cards are dealt rounds of betting follows. The player who wins the pot has premium cards and wins the best five poker card hand.
Some of the pre-requisites of playing this dynamic seven card stud poker are as follows:
Al the players present on the poker table must initiate ante into the pot before the game starts. The players are dealt with two hole cards facing downwards and a door card.

The commentators are wrong. Here’s a quote from the youtube comments:
These commentators have no idea what is going on.
Murphy is not calling twice with A high because he thinks his hand is good, he’s calling to represent a 2 and steal the pot on the river.
Because he knows John Juanda almost never has a 2 as a pre flop raiser and Murphy could defend his blind with A2. Also he’s first to act on the river and he knows Juanda is not committed on this street.
If you are Juanda there and you have AQ or even kings, you can’t make the call for all your chips

I actually like Jennifer Tilly – but I don’t like her poker playing much… This hand is one of the most amazing examples of idiocy at the poker table – and the captions add to the fun.
