Poker – the Game of Life

Wed, 23 Mar 2011 09:42:38 +0000

I think everyone at least once in a life must play poker. Believe or not, you’re already a poker player for no other game is so close to life than poker. Take for example chess. Chess is a great game but it’s far too distant from the real life. In chess there is no such thing as chance. Both players get an equal chance to win and generally stronger players always win in chess, ten games out of ten and hundred out of hundred. Moreover, a player with a higher ranking is guaranteed to win a player with a lower ranking.

Poker is different. Poker is something that we play every day while living our lives. Obviously, in poker, luck is no less important than in life. However, only luck is not enough. You have to be a good player in order to win. Of course, in the short run, you may get lucky and get better cards. However, in the long run, if you are not a good player, you will lose anyway. After all, cards treat everyone equally. If you doubt this statement, you can check the most spectacular victories at the poker tables and see what the winner cards were.

Thus, we must agree that poker is a mixed game of chance, luck, skill, strategy and psychology. This is what makes poker so impressive and so popular. To be short, poker is exciting. Good poker skills will help you in other walks of your life as well. For example, good poker players are pretty good at math, are well-organized, evaluate risks more objectively and usually learn how to read people. Obviously, these skills are useful in business and at work, as well as in personal life.

Becoming a professional poker player opens extra horizons to you. Playing poker professionally can be not only financially rewarding, but can also make you popular quickly. These days poker players are as popular as movie and rock stars.

At the same time poker is an extremely easy game to play. Learning a basic poker play is a matter of minutes. Mastering poker, however, is a totally different story. It may take months and years after you learned playing poker, to you become a really good player (if you become one at all). But again, this is one of the features that make poker such a great game – game for you, for me, for us or a game of life.

Poker Bots vs. Human Poker Players

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 12:01:22 +0000

Several years ago playing chess online became my hobby and soon I was spending at least 4-5 hours playing chess online against other people. There was a guy from India who would beat me practically every time I played with him. I was so pissed off that I resorted to cheating and it worked. The idea was simple and brilliant.

Chessmaster has been my favorite chess program from its early versions. I always have it in my computer and I decided that our Indian “grandmaster” would meet against his electronic counterpart. My play was “improved” instantly. Finally, the guy was brought to such a terrible condition that I had to admit the cheat and beg my pardon.

It turns out that the same thing happens in online poker rooms and poker sites are invaded by poker bots. Increasingly more people are reporting their suspicions about playing with bots. The New York Times reports a pretty interesting story of Bryan Taylor, who caught the poker bot.

To admit, poker bots are not new. They have been around since very early days of online poker. However, average poker players could always beat even the best poker bots. In chess, bots have a chance to permanently win humans and the Deep Blue’s winning over Garry Kasparov is a clear indication of this. Of course even the greatest chess bots win mostly by brute force rather than artificial intelligence. This is partly a good explanation why Poker bots are so weak. In poker there is a moment of chance and the human factor. If you know that you are playing against a bot, you practically know the bots strategy - to play the “mathematically” correct poker - and you can easily win the bot.

Nevertheless, against weaker human poker players bots have all chances to win and win practically always. If you look at the amounts confiscated from accounts using bots it’s a clear indication that poker bots have proliferated on the Internet.

Of all poker bots, Shanky Technologies’ poker bot is probably the best one. The figures speak loudly. The company has sold more than 5,000 copies of the bot software since 2008 at the price tag of $129 per year. Full Tilt has seized more than $50,000 of players’ money - all supposedly using Shanky Technologies’ bot and currently Full Tilt poker is forgoing at least $70,000 per month in revenue by shutting down accounts using Shanky Technologies’ bot. The same situation is with other popular poker sites.

As I said, good players must not be afraid of bots but if we take into consideration how quickly poker bots advance and become more and more difficult to beat, it might not be that far when the poker bots dominate in online poker rooms.

Flash Casino or Download Casino. The Choice is Yours.

Sat, 12 Mar 2011 20:13:35 +0000

When choosing an online casino, one of the things to look at is if a particular casino offers Flash-based games, download games or both. Both types of online casinos have advantages and disadvantages. Some people for example play exclusively at Flash casinos, while others prefer download casinos. Which is better you may ask. Well, depends. Depends on what your priorities are.

Do you want to be able to play your favorite casino games where ever you are? If so, Flash casino is the way to go unless you carry your laptop. Another advantage of Flash casinos is that they don’t require installation. No installation means less headache. For example, one of the casinos that I use updates application quite often and this really annoys me. When a Flash casino gets updated, you don’t even notice it. With Flash casinos, you always play the latest version.

Finally, it must be noted that usually Flash casinos feature better graphics and better animations and effects.

On the other hand, download casinos require installation only once and there is no download time - games open instantly. However, with modern Flash casinos this is not a big problem because modern Flash casinos feature advanced caching capabilities to reduce download times.

It is a widely accepted idea that Flash casinos are not stable. For example, if you experience connectivity problems, you may lose your bet. However, this is not the case. All good Flash casinos feature advanced restore features. So, if you play at good casinos, you can forget about this problem at all.

We could go to finer details of comparison, however, the conclusion is that these days there is not big difference between Flash casinos and their download counterparts. Finally, many casinos offer both versions. So, the choice is yours.

Casino Tournaments Primer

Wed, 09 Mar 2011 08:24:00 +0000

Casino tournaments have become truly popular recently. Even though casinos (offline or online) can’t really complain about the lack of players, casino tournaments attract even more players. Why is it so? The reason is simple.

If you can do a little bit of math, you know that a casino always wins. The problem is not in the games but in the payouts. To be short, the payout scheme of every game is arranged precisely in such a way as to leave the house with generous profits. That’s exactly what the house edge is. No matter how hard you try (and believe me some try really hard by touching a slot machine to determine how cold or hot it is as if machine’s temperature did really mean something), the casino always wins.

Of course sometimes happens that all omens are on your side and all planets do align and you can hit a really big winning. However, as long as you play long enough, the law of averages takes the reign.

However, in casino tournaments you play not against the house, but against other players. Whenever you play against humans (hmm… casino people are humans too or aren’t they?) you can use a strategy and thus alter the outcome towards your benefit. To be short, in tournaments, casino games shift from purely game of chance to game of skill and skilled players can make the difference. In the end, this will be reflected on your bankroll (hopefully, in a positive way).

While practically every casino game can be adapted to the tournament schemed, some are more popular. Currently, Slots games and Blackjack are two popular type of games used in casino tournaments.

In Slot tournaments players receive equal amounts of play-money or credits and there is a predefined time when the tournament is finished. The player with the most credits at the end of the a tournament wins the game. Of course, unless a tournament is a freeroll, you have to pay a predefine amount to buy-in.

In BlackJack tournaments players play a predefined number of hands against the same dealer. Again, whoever finishes with the most credits is the winner. Naturally, BlackJack tournaments are more interesting and if you ask me, BlackJack tournaments are as interesting as Poker tournaments.

This was just a review of casino game tournaments. Before you decide to participate in any casino tournament, I recommend that you carefully read the rules. Knowing rules can give you significant advantage over your competitors.
