Serving up the week s hottest links

Clippers tickets that included an extended section about Sam Cassell's brilliance and all the "little things" he does for a basketball team. I demand that you read it if you're a Celtics fan. Maybe Sam is at the tail end of his career, but his spirit and personality remain as strong as ever, and I don't think people back home fully realize how many unique things Sam does during the course of an NBA game, or how much fun they're going to have watching him play on a game-to-game basis. You can't overstate how big the Cassell and P.J. Brown signings were for the Celtics; in the span of 48 hours, I went from thinking they were destined for a Round 2 exit in Cleveland to believing they can win the championship if everything falls right.

At long last, we have an official photo of the exact moment when the Pats' 19-0 season started to go down the tubes. Look to the right yep, it's the ominous pregame handshake between Tom Brady and Pat O'Brien! It's interesting that the celebration on Bourbon Street after Super Bowl XXXVI happened at Pat O'Brien's (a bar on Bourbon Street), and the downfall of the 19-0 season started with Pat O'Brien. I don't know what this means. Thanks to Steve Harding for taking the photo and reader Hugh Q. for sending it along.

My favorite link of 2008 so far: Two decades of deadline deals

NBA.com. I have to make three points here: First, I had blocked out of my mind that Boston traded Andrew DeClercq and an unprotected No. 1 in 1999 (a pick that ended up being No. 8) for Vitaly Potapenko, then immediately signed him to a $33 million deal. The GM of the team at the time? That's right, Chris Wallace (NTFNCW). You couldn't make this stuff up. Second, scroll down to 1990 for the life-altering "Christian Welp for Uwe Blab" deal. Has there ever been a greater and more inexplicable one-for-one swap? I say no. Third, why hasn't anyone launched a Web site that lists every NBA trade ever and breaks them down by years and teams? Or at the very least, why haven't our friends at basketball-reference.com done this? Let's make this happen by the end of 2008. I insist.

My favorite newspaper story of 2008 so far: Dave Stewart giving his blistering thoughts on Roger Clemens to the San Francisco Chronicle

Even in 2008, Stewart somehow manages to own Clemens. By the way, check out the graphic on the bottom of that piece with their head-to-head matchups from 1986 to 1993. Yikes. I think I'd blocked that out of my mind.

In my post-trade-deadline blog, I wondered why Otis Smith didn't trump San Antonio's offer for Kurt Thomas. Well, Florida Today

Seattle demanded first-rounders in 2008 and 2010 from Orlando, then settled for a 2008 first-rounder from San Antonio that will be a worse pick than the pick Orlando was offering. Um, how is that not collusion? Sam Presti worked for the Spurs; now he's giving them a discount price for Thomas? Throw in Brent Barry's curious decision to spurn Phoenix for the Spurs, as well as Steve Kerr's frustrated comments

Young Comedians" clips?) except for the long-lost clip of the early-'80s HBO intro for every show and movie. All teenagers from the '80s should watch this to get flashbacks to the era when they watched this intro praying for the ratings page with "SSC" and "N" to come up right afterward.

Did you read the New York Times feature

Well, Kenny Mayne is writing a book.

More suggestions from the readers for sports-related terms named after players: The Trent Tucker Rule (can't get a shot off with 0.3 seconds or less); Hack-a-Shaq; Jordan Rules, the Hamill Camel; the Cruyff Turn; and the Deion Sanders Rule (you have to take your final fall semester exams to play in your school's bowl game). Let's add them to the list that includes the Gordie Howe Hat Trick, Tommy John Surgery, the Fosbury Flop, the Larry Bird Exception, Pesky Pole, The House That Ruth Built, the Roy Williams Horse-Collar Penalty, the Allan Houston Rule, the Mendoza Line, the Doyle Brunson and the Rob Ray Rule. Also, you can throw the Ewing Theory on there if you think it's well-known enough.

Last Friday, I went on Dave Dameshek's show

WWE crossing into the movie business? I loved this quote from the head of WWE Films: "There's a strong audience base that is ready for movies that star our guys." There is? Then, Vince McMahon chimed in, "The films we're going to make are fun. Everything we do is about selling fun. We put smiles on people's faces. Everything we do is about doing that." Well, except for the Chris Benoit thing.

Correction to my solution in Friday's Sonics piece (the second one) that had a franchise swap with Clay Bennett taking the Grizzlies and moving them to Oklahoma City, then someone else landing the Sonics and keeping them in Seattle: According to Memphis columnist Geoff Calkins

March 5? The timing is impeccable! This is a sign, you should book your flight immediately. If you need a place to crash, fly into Madison I've got a couch." By the way, if you're a college kid in the area and you feel like crashing this event with a "SIMMONS IN 2008! YES WE CAN!" sign, we'll post any and all pictures on ESPN.com.

On Friday, I did a 30-minute interview

Steve "The Homer" True, the host of Milwaukee's drive-time sports show on ESPN Radio. You'll admire my long-term strategy, my moxie, my conviction and the way I handled The Homer's questions about some controversial choices I made in college. As it turned out, The Homer is in the same fantasy baseball league as my old college roommate, Chip, who betrayed me by telling The Homer a few college stories and somehow forgot I was the guy who had the video camera in college. Chipper, we'll call this an official warning. Slip up again and you'll become a YouTube star like the "Chocolate Rain" guy.

Brian W. in Minnesota alerts us, "Not sure if you're aware of it, but a sports columnist being an NBA GM isn't unprecedented. Sid Hartman actually did it for the Minneapolis Lakers back in the late '40s-early '50s. Better yet, he never gave up his column in the Minneapolis Daily Times, he did both simultaneously! Better yet, he's still writing a column 50 years later, now for the Minneapolis Star Tribune

Mount Rapmore idea and ran with it, but not before calling me "ostensibly a sportswriter who would better be described as the National Commissioner of Bar Arguments" as well as "a notorious Boston homer." (Actually, what am I saying? Both of those things are true.) I liked his idea that Mount Rapmore should be broken down so that each person fits the slots of the Mount Rushmore people -- in other words, one guy should be George Washington, one Thomas Jefferson, one Abe Lincoln and one Teddy Roosevelt -- but that means you have to pick one guy for each era (1985-1989, 1990-1993, 1994-1998 and 1998-present), which means it comes down to Rakim vs. Russell Simmons (first era), Dr. Dre (second era), Tupac vs. Biggie (third era) and Eminem vs. Jay-Z (fourth era). The more I'm thinking about it, we might need three Mount Rapmores: one for rappers, one for groups, and one for moguls and executives.

Brian G. in Seattle makes a solid point: "I love how you threatened to move to Canada in your second Sonics piece. As you'll note, this is No. 75 on the excellent 'Stuff White People Like' blog

In my defense, I actually DO want to move to Canada. It's between Milwaukee, Portland, Austin, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal for the Simmons family's next move. We need to get out of L.A. within the next five years before my daughter starts wearing halter tops and miniskirts.

For everyone who was amazed by the tidbit in the second "Save the Sonics" piece that David Stern introduced Clay Bennett at the Oklahoma Hall of Fame's 2007 induction ceremony, here's Jim Moore's column

Improbably, Jay Leno is sitting in the catbird's seat after NBC basically sent him out to pasture three years ago, and incredibly, he has become a sympathetic figure even though he's about to make $40 million a year. You could write a 500-page book on how badly NBC botched this entire thing. Does anyone really think Conan will succeed at 11:30? And how could the network walk away from a franchise that earns it $100 million in annual profits? I'm convinced you're given a partial lobotomy as soon as you become a network executive.

Uh-oh. My buddy Rob Stone is taking a beating from bowling fanatics

PBA broadcasts. Is it going to help matters or hurt matters when I join Stoner for a PBA telecast this month as the third guy in the booth? I'm going out on a limb and saying it'll hurt matters. Oh well.

(Random story: When I was a senior in college, we had a student who fancied himself as a future PBA bowler and wore bowling shirts with his name written on them. When he objected to a bowling joke in one of my "Ramblings" column for the school newspaper, he challenged me to a bowling match, and I eagerly accepted because I was only one year removed from bowling a 199 at Greenwich Lanes. We battled on a Thursday night at the bowling alley in Auburn, Mass. Something like 300 people showed up to watch me get crushed. Which I did. The guy was wearing a bowling shirt and a wrist brace and had a signature fist pump after each strike. You have to love college. $20,000 a year at the time.)

I'd like to nominate this for "Most Depressing Blog Piece of 2008" so far: A crusty L.A. Times blogger

David Archuleta after his remarkably good performance of "Imagine" on "American Idol." I never watched "Idol" before this season and only started watching it because my daughter latched onto the show, so we watched the "Imagine" cover when it happened, and I have to say, it was a moving moment. It really was. Our whole house was transfixed. Have we really reached the point in life where everyone who stands out needs to be torn down, even if it's a 17-year-old singer? I just thought this was a really depressing piece.

(By the way, I'm on the fence do I write an "American Idol" column? When I say I've never watched it before this season, I can't emphasize that strongly enough. So I have a lot of thoughts coming in fresh. I can't decide.)

Our YouTube Request of the Week, courtesy of Wolfe in Boston: "Given that you are the new champion of calling for new YouTube clips, I was wondering if you could request some vintage Pedro. It's a travesty that I can't watch Pedro's 17-strikeout game in Yankee Stadium every night before bed." Excellent call. The Yankee Stadium game, the Gerald Williams brawl/almost-perfect game in Tampa, Game 5 of the 1999 ALDS and the '99 All-Star Game should all be on YouTube. There's no excuse.

While we're here, don't forget about my ever-expanding Sports Guy Collection of clips

Oracle Arena the other night when Baron Davis hit the game-winner against Boston in front of the biggest crowd ever. Remind you, it's February, this team could miss the playoffs despite winning 50 games and hasn't won a title since Bea Arthur was hot. I love being a Warrior fan."

Chris M. in Houston: "Check out this dunk contest

San Antonio a couple of years ago. I was at this game, and it is still one of the most amazing performances I've witnessed live. It was one of those moments when the crowd suddenly realizes, 'Hey, wait a minute. We could effing win this game.' When T-Mac dribbles down the court at the end, you knew he was going to make the 3-pointer."

CK in Hawthorne, Calif.: "Don't know if you have seen this Tecmo Bowl re-creation

Gilbert Arenas is apparently constructing a replica of Hugh Hefner's pool (complete with grotto). Not the worst thing an athlete has ever built in his backyard, but a highway to the danger zone nonetheless."

(Follow-up note from Simmons: If any professional athlete in the past 15 years belonged on an L.A. team, it's Gilbert Arenas. Can't David Stern step in and force the Wizards to trade Arenas to the Clippers just like he forced Memphis to trade Gasol to the Lakers last month?)

Anthony in Ann Arbor, Mich.: "I have a link to add to your Unintentional Comedy list; I see you have the Ken Patera botched promo where Mean Gene can't hold in his laughter, but this one's even more incredible

Vince gave up on the ensuing season and was traded from Toronto within a couple of months?"

(Follow-up note from Simmons: That is an AMAZING misfire of a commercial. You must watch it.)

All right, it's time for a new running segment of the Links: "The Random Cable Movie Review of the Week That's Confined To One Paragraph."

Two nights ago, the Sports Gal pay-per-viewed "In the Land of Women" while I was sifting through 3 million e-mails from Seattle, and I ended up getting sucked in. The movie stars Adam Brody, who I once called the next Tom Hanks during the height of "The OC" craze. Not one of my finest moments. (He's destined to be the star of one of those witty "How I Met Your Mother"-type sitcoms, which isn't a bad thing at all. But he's not the next Tom Hanks.) Brody plays an L.A. writer who goes back to Michigan to spend a few weeks with his dying grandmother and ends up getting sucked into the lives of the family across the street. And you know what? This probably could have been a decent indie movie except I was too distracted by Meg Ryan's face. She plays the mom of the family across the street and was supposed to have a flirty relationship with Brody, only she kinda looks like The Joker now. I couldn't get past it. This wasn't like a Priscilla Presley-type, over-the-top plastic surgery where she looked like Catwoman; half the time, she still looks like Meg Ryan, then she'd smile or make a face and turn into The Joker. I couldn't handle it and kept talking about it every time she had a scene. Finally, the Sports Gal asked me to leave. I have to be honest, I only saw the first half of the movie, but I still can't recommend it.

As for our two running segments that we launched last week

1. "This Week's Most Depressing Link about Clay Bennett Murdering the NBA in Seattle While David Stern Does Nothing."

We're leaving this vacant this week after printing nearly 23,000 words of "Save the Sonics" content Thursday and Friday. But since Howard Schultz was the guy who started this runaway train by selling the Sonics to a guy who wanted to move them, here's a link to the Starbucks Gossip blog

2. This Week's Irresistible Request to Pimp a Goofy-but-Entertaining Web Site or Blog.
I'm making the irresistible request this week: So long to our friends from www.straightcashhomey.net, who parted with Page 2 last month but continue to crank out horrendous jersey sightings daily on their site. This remains one of my favorite Internet ideas of the past five years. Come on, check out the Feb. 25 entry of the guy working at his desk in a Curtis Enis jersey. How can you not love this site?

Pieces I liked from the last 10 days: Tyson Chandler's heartfelt blog post

Anne Donovan, U.S. women's basketball coach: 'With Lisa (Leslie) coming back and (Candace) Parker coming out, that's going to be a formidable combination for years to come. I know L.A. is dancing in the streets right now.' Be sure to have the Sports Gal take a picture of you and Michael Rapaport frolicking together, rejoicing in the glory of this momentous event."

Ryan in Arlington, Va.: "The Hardball Times

Using 'Net Win Shares Value' (a dollar amount representing how much a player contributed in relation to the total value of his contract), they have Podsednik in left, Edmonds in center, and your boy J.D. Drew in right. Sometimes sabermetrics can be a really complicated way of figuring out what everyone already knows."

Sam in Lake Bluff, Ill.: "You will not believe what MLB.com is selling on its Web site

Sox going to the White House last week? Putting aside the normal accolades you'd expect from this sort of thing, the one thing that struck me was just how knowledgable and (intentionally!) funny the Bush quotes were. When was the last time you could actually say that about him? I can't shake the feeling that he belongs in baseball, not in politics. In fact, it explains a lot about the last eight years. OK, I'll stop."

Ricky in Alexandria, Va.: "Any NBA GM who takes Mike Beasley with the first pick in the NBA draft should be forced to read this article

Yeah, I can see Jordan not working out for an entire year because it was too cold. RIGHT!"

Zach in Greenville, S.C.: "I wrote you before the trade deadline, saying that the Cavs didn't have to make a trade. However, even though I do not believe Ben Wallace will significantly help the Cavs (the other players acquired will), I can't help but be glad that the Cavs got rid of a player who would say this

I would expect you or any of your readers who aren't from Pittsburgh to care. But you seem open to collective expressions from a fan base, and I want to join what I imagine to be a wave of Steelers fans and Western Pennsylvania natives calling for more attention to be given to the passing of Myron Cope. As clich d as it might sound, he really was more than an announcer, and the Steelers really are more than a football team. People love the Steelers because they represent what's best about Pittsburgh, and Myron, in turn, represented what's best about the Steelers. As a Steelers fan, I mourn the passing of a symbol of the team and the city, but I also mourn the passing of a man who just loved life, and dedicated himself to enjoying life and making sure those around him enjoyed it as well."

My Poker Life - my poker career

Poker is gambling, and would like to make money through gambling is very difficult, it is tantamount to cat s paw, you have to make it clear where the advantages of their own, and then to maximize their own advantage. This requires adequate funding to do capital control every good bet for the Bureau. Then is to spend time Mochu their own profits.

Excerpts from that article:

If you know the ins and outs of the game, change your focus. Work on the next great challenge, always putting your A game forward and controlling tilt. If before, when you were studying poker you worked on strategy of the 90% time and mental aspects of the game 10%, REVERSE IT. Put everything you have into making yourself the best possible mental player you can. Please re-read this paragraph before I give you the good news and the bad news. I ll give the bad news first: Becoming a mentally tough poker player on a world class level is easily twenty times harder than learning poker strategy. However the good news is that mastering the mind is the true secret to poker and anyone can do it. If you use sound strategy at the table and are mentally tough you will be a winning poker player.

In addition, on average, your hands, the licence holder of a lot stronger than rivals. If the other players do not interfere with your game, then you belong on the force!

However, occasionally in the table-of the season, players have begun more and more to note that crazy beat great players win bonus pool at the end.

Therefore, you should be the basic strategy of the left is sitting frenzied audience in a Ax, any pair and high scores even licensing (JT and above) have a choice to repeatedly raise. You need a lot of hands to play such a licence, although the licensing of the river, the lack of improvement all right, but not in the licensing of no improvement in each circle in transforming abandoned licensing. As long as your opponent is not behind or with the addition Note Note, you can always go play. When this happens, you must be turned up prior to licensing, and licensing tightening circle game, played more to that direction, you should return to the more standard practice game strategy. Of course, if the players in a strong endorsement, coupled with frenzied audience Note, you must be strictly screened to play any hand. Similarly, when you sit right frenzied audience, it must be strictly screened to playing card.

Finally some guidance how individuals can not win all the money brother, accrue if short-term, and ultimately profitable positive, and that is likely unrelated to technology, that is, when luck stinky smell, everyone can not be overcome, but if accrue how long it is a loser from the illnesses themselves to find (themselves be honest, if the monthly balance, 30 days a month, I mean seriously talk about winning it down to 10 days, and the remaining time in a matter of Dangzhao, I do not lose maintain a satisfying, of course, my own consumption standards on 10 days to win enough), not caught on the dark three people must then ALL IN, experience, slowly groping to understand! Novice committed the biggest mistake of all licensing is a good grasp on Siding attention in their own boards, it was a mistake in the wrong, and more consideration is what other people than themselves to a much stronger licensing, a mentality of playing cards, playing LOCATION! I eventually found myself playing cards a more learned what most said is a simple vigilance, any one card down slightly negative impression on its own, how to think about the future do some comparison! rather than see ourselves licensing Tingda Qubing about!

Several experts Forum read the article, I think, the hot, and quite insightful. I will briefly talk about my experience I think.

I think that the software we have no need to consider the question of whether or not random, the key lies in place, all players on the poker market is the same, whether it is fair, I hold positive views. Poker on the field even if it was for the control software, but also against all the players, not only against a person, as you may have encountered such None of the other players may also.

And land-based casinos is different - you have to face the audience rather than poker market. Therefore, we need to do is identify what is at the poker field to trap, when your profit is a good card, which is not to say that in a few words, different syndicate have different characteristics, we rely on in the real exploration . My own experience that, is not difficult to do this.

The AP, for example, in Limit game tables, there are two very obvious features:

1, few can only win through three consecutive good licensing hand;

2, when a player faster Shuguang, general Weiyishou a coincidence card, you just call the play , AA. Encountered this kind of situation, you get no matter what kind of licence must be careful at all.

Play Texas Hold em is the significance of long-term profitability, rather than a good hand licensing emotional dispute.

Bitter combat - Bad beats

Against 1:

In the composition of your great card and a bigger opponent than you, you miserable loser, for example, you formed a gourd (Full house), and your opponent has four components (Four of a kind).

Combating 2:

You have three components (Set), and other rivals in the mouth with a folder (Gut shot straight drawing), even when the composition of the river, you lost was even worse.

Online poker lot of this is the case, then, what reasons?

One view is interested in the control of online poker licensing; Another view was playing online poker hands per hour a few poker is much more than the field, so there are some licensing on the probability of much greater.

The two viewpoints are not correct, the big online poker every day rely on the pumping station can be millions of revenues, do you think they will be interested in control card? This control card is a very great risk, and these poker every day and will not stop millions of income disregard, left for some small players, it would destroy their business.

The second view, assuming that the establishment, it should be playing poker in the field 100 hand in hand with the 100 online, you will encounter in combat should probability almost painful. However, according to statistics, in the field of poker, you play 100 hands may be encountered bitter fight against the probability is 2%, and online poker, playing 100 hands may be encountered bitter fight against the probability of 5% to 10%, the gap is tremendous.

That in the end is what causes so many online poker bitter combat?

According to my point of view this is the case, online poker and poker nature of the field led to the difference in the two situations players different ways to play.

Licensing and odds are the same. But there are differences in audience

The online poker players are generally very loose and Henxiong, put it bluntly point is like a madman. They very sensibly, often those who play should not play the Board and, in many cases, Taixiong bet.

Why?

Online poker is not true because:

1. False sense of money, I mean, when you register Account poker stations so many dividends to you, you feel real? If you really bet each Douli out from a few hundred dollars Daichao time, it is what you feel?

2. Poker untrue, untrue chips, table not true, these things do not exist.

When you play online poker all those who see only the small picture some ridiculous and animation, but also those who heard the voice of the collision simulation chips. Only these, there is no other. And if you lose on the one after, click a few mouse can be a table immediately to another. You can also play table at the same time in the 10, which is also the face of nearly 100 opponents to play. This is a different world.

Online poker players playing style in general-and fierce, this style led to a lot of bitter combat. Because a lot of players in the licensing poor often bet Henxiong; many many players involved should not intervene Board; table a lot of money, because players bet Henxiong. When combined, these conditions have emerged in many large exotic (Pot), as well as many bitter combat.

Not because the licensing will be controlled, but because of online poker players bet models and field poker games are played with different styles lead.

China s poker player, is troubled times in recent months, China s first banned PartyPoker players, and then announced that the United States signed a decree poker network in the United States illegal, and prohibited the United States banks to issue credit cards to online poker money to the station, This has led to some big poker station announced that the United States does not accept the player. The play seriously, the United States, arrested in the United States a few large station abroad, president of Poker, for a time, several of the big London-listed stock prices plummeting poker stations, and even Neteller also suffered, or a lot.

I have to finish the wind, MoneyBookers, Neteller and the money to find ways to take out a plan to avoid a repeat bullet. Now basic to calm down, I started to itch for action, to tell the truth, playing cards of my own money is a long, I have this thought. Although I have spent a lot of time and money to explore other ways to make money, but unfortunately could not earn money, so poker also like to be one of my main business, which may be abandoned.

The United States signed the Gambling Act matters to a hubbub in the online discussion, I read a lot, I felt that the United States Government is proceeding from its own national interests, is not really consider how the ordinary people, ordinary people you destruction to the United States Government of gambling You should not to the tube, it is your own thing. Too many gambling stations to attract large numbers of American players, leading to a massive outflow of funds, it is really worried about the United States Government.

But the trend of online poker is unable to stop anyone, and the United States Government can ban, but the United States so many players who can Jindeizhu enthusiasm? Especially those who have not been able to stop the drug addicts are. So do not worry about the future of online poker, is now select several important issues can play a large station, my choice is UltimateBet, used to play here, very handsome dividends, but also anti-domestic helpers. Another option is to PokerStars, top experts said too much, making money is not easy, and do not touch the better. Other options are some of Europe s large station, as Betsson poker.

One I have often been asked the question: If you want to seriously carry out the cause of Poker, the number of funds which would be enough? Of the many possibilities under the influence will be difficult to have a correct answer. Each person must look at their own game type, and what type of games, fun place bets on how many it is appropriate, and the reasons for playing games. After carefully considering these issues, you finally get an approximate figure.

If you search for data on the funds, you will find some of the basic rules of the experience. I know that these rules times to 300 times the money, as you played poker funds. This means that if you play 1 / 2 (Limit), you need a $ 600 poker funds. This is a very good figure, but it is also a general note, first of all, you must pay attention to you is that type of player. If you are a serious gamer, you do not need as many of those involved in the betting pool as players prepare for a big poker funds.

When I as a professional player in my poker career, I have chosen the game is Omaha high / low scores Chi (limit Note). When the opportunity comes, I will take full advantage of it. Then there is another one and I play very similar players, we always have the same adherence to the last Board. I was nearly players Licensing Board that he play two or three times, which means that I Shenfu higher. We have different types, but in the end our weekly results also very close. I have asked myself if I change my type of play cards, playing cards in the Shenbi I will not be so high, and the answer is not very simple

This is my own style, I can only confirm my poker similar funds in the game more than the other players.

Another effect of the poker capital you need is the size of the type you play the game. If you like playing Xunhe, three pumping licensing or Badugi, you will need more funds to cope with the pumped-card poker. Some of the games wager more than any other game, so if you play for a few more bets for the game, you will bet less than the other playing a few games of the audience for more funds.

Note unlimited Texas Hold em is another need a lot of money for the game. $ 100 in a family game nights of the game, the blind $ 2-3. Inject 300 times the funding formula will be ready does not apply. Anyone who knows the $ 900 it is difficult to cope with unlimited funds injection in the Texas Hold em Shouqi fluctuations. I started in the early poker career, I have chosen the game is Omaha. After that, I always note of unlimited playing of the game. I experienced a continuous loss of time, has been in the low limit games lost to inject a total of $ 1,500 ($ 100 per family game nights). The fluctuations are sufficient to destroy the confidence of a person, if he does not have sufficient funds to deal with it. Note unlimited Shenfu Texas Hold em is the most intense game. I can deal with the Shenfu good because I have enough poker funds to deal with those lost days I have enough confidence and without fear I have money left to recover lost. Fear of money means that you do not follow your style of play cards, because if you fear to lose, you will lose you to all of the poker funds, and could not make the right action - or not in the situation do not have the money to continue.

You must think that a level Limit for you. Basic guidelines from the $ 1 - 2 Limit the start of the game, you need $ 600 poker funds. Therefore, if the $ 10 - 20 Limit games, you need $ 6000 funding. That seems to be adequate, but on the contrary. In the low note in the amount of the game, you will be transforming circle face more rivals. That is, you only play strong

But you win by the pools will be larger. Basically, you note in the amount of low volatility in the game will become larger. Therefore, you should be prepared to be compared to the Guide said more funds.

You should be prepared to decide how much money is the main factor in you played poker. If you have a normal work, or other sources of income, that the above guidelines are just for you. If you plan to Poker is the main source of income, then things will become much complexity. A professional poker player is different from the needs of amateur players (or semi-amateur). A professional player can not be separated from the living expenses of his funds, his funds in the net assets he has.

When you played poker, you will be shaken. When you very rich, this you must not waver. If poker is your only source of income, and you have shaken. You will put your monthly in your day-to-day expenses of the funds removed, until you come back to win, or minimize expenditure. Although you ready funds, but you can not maintain its long-term, the basic reason is that you do not have to poker ready. So this is very important, you must be prepared more than 300 times baseline big injection of funds.

Professional poker players will want some additional sources of revenue to increase their capital. Funding is not just in your bedroom drawer. If a player usually play the $ 30-60 Licensing Board, he will be ready to $ 20,000 to the family game nights to play cards. If a player has $ 20,000 of funds made it impossible for him every time all the money on the table to play cards. Every time a player should only take a small part of the funds to DU field, while the other should be stored in the bank, the stock market or other areas might have earned. Those in the audience should be in the reserves poker table to play cards at the same time to work. Each player because of his own money will be factors vary. Each player can start to answer many questions for the funds that they are very appropriate. They must consider the types of games, Limit Mode, play cards style (Las Vegas, the Los Angeles licensing winds of more stringent), and to play cards because of some reasons. When an audience ready funds, and then they embark on their own journey when. If only remembered for a lot more will be even better. Less than the number of victories you expected, if you to do more, there are many benefits, but only one downside - bankruptcy.

Poker funds equivalent to your life.
