Online Poker Game
Gamers who are new to online poker may need plenty of advice before they become even marginally successful. They should read up as much as possible on how to earn lots of money by playing poker. Very often, these newcomers think that something should be complicated for it to be efficient.
This type of thinking is prevalent among many people, even people who excel in other areas. They think that something simple and ‘obvious’ won’t get them anywhere. That’s why they spend money, time and effort on things that may or may not help them to achieve the success they’ve been dreaming of. And they enrich others in doing so.
The simple truth is that success in poker depends on a few factors only. The number one is to choose the correct online poker game.
It’s that simple. And that easy. And yet few players take heed of this advice, instead they think that they should play the games that everyone else are playing. This strategy needs adjustment because not everyone will excel at the same games. It’s possible that Player A will have an easier time at 7 Card Stud than at Texas Holdem, though the latter game is probably one of the most popular poker games of all time.
Poker players who have spent some time at any online poker game know that ‘game selection’ is as valued a skill as any of the other valuable skills poker players need. Knowing how important it is is also one of the tell-tale signs of a player who has a professional interest in the game.
Gamers need to know the difference between all the different variations of poker games as this can impact how efficient their strategy is.
It is important to choose a game based on a few factors. Skill level is the most important of these. Players who are new to poker or players who are relatively weak in comparison to others, should stick to games that do not demand too much of the players. Texas Hold’em is a good example of such a game.
A player’s bankroll is a second factor when they need to decide which game suits them best. Many things depend on a player’s bankroll, including whether they can afford certain games. Some players may do better at games where the risk is not too high; other players prefer that uncertainty and it might even push them to win more.
It does make sense to note that these rules apply to all poker players, not only to newcomers. Seasoned online players can also benefit from it.

Extending the life of your jeans
In today’s tough economy more and more people are taking care of what they have instead of going out and buying new. Fashionable denim jeans can be expensive, especially since jeans are one of those wardrobe essentials that everyone needs. And even those who can afford the latest denim jeans choose to cut down due to environmental concerns.
Taking care of your jeans is a good way to preserve not only the environment but your bank account as well. In order to keep your designer denims from Michele in the best condition and reduce your carbon footprint, follow these simple tips:
1. Extend the life of your jeans by wearing them two or three days in a row. Only wash when it is compulsory as washing will cause the jeans to fade and fray quicker.
2. Wash your jeans in cold water if they are no visible dirt or stains. This reduces fading. Reserve hot water washing for really dirty or oily jeans.
3. Wash your jeans on the shortest and gentlest setting when they are dirty. Very lightly soiled jeans may even be washed on a delicate cycle, however, you may need to spin it more than once to get all the excess water out.
4. Zip zippers and button buttons before washing your jeans. This prevents the metal fasteners and rivets from rubbing against the fabric during washing, which essentially causes wear and fading.
5. Turn your jeans inside out before washing. This allows fading dyes to settle back into the fabric. Add some old jeans in with your new ones to absorb any excess dye and add new life to old, faded jeans.
6. Let your jeans air-dry until they are only slightly damp and finish them off in the dryer to soften them up. This protects the fabric from excess heat, and saves on energy as well.
7. Avoid buying pre-washed jeans. When a new jeans is pre-fade for fashion purposes to weakens the fabric, shortening its life span.
8. The knees of your jeans are usually the first area to start fading. A good idea would be to patch them before they wear through. Iron-on patches are simple to apply and readily available. Another idea would be to cut-up old, unwearable jeans for patches.
Quality, designer jeans are available everywhere, and in order to keep them looking as good as new, follow the above tips. Michele at Gray and Osbourn offers a variety of jeans and trousers for all shapes and sizes.

List of poker hands
Ever wonder what beats what in poker? Here we cover the ranking of poker hands.
Royal Flush
A Royal Flush is the highest and rarest ranking hand when playing poker online. It consists of an Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten – all in the same suit. The type of suit does not matter in a Royal Flush.
Straight Flush
This is five cards of the same suit in consecutive sequence. Like with a Royal Flush, the type of suit makes no difference. In a straight flush, while an Ace can be used as the highest and lowest card, a hand cannot be formed with the Ace not starting or finishing the sequence.
Four of a Kind
A Four of a Kind rank is just that – any 4 of the same cards in one hand. Keep in mind that four of a kind does not fulfill the requirements of a five-card hand. Therefore, if two or more players both have a four of a kind hand, the fifth card, or kicker, would determine who wins. The higher the kicker, the stronger the hand.
Full House
Full House is one of the best hands you can get. This consists of a pair – two cards of the same value, along with a three of a kind. The strength of the full house is based on the dominating set.
Flush
The flush, while still rare, is still considered one of the highest ranking hands. A flush is five of any cards of the same suit. Because all suits have equal value, the strength of the suit is based on the highest card in the hand. If the highest card of the suit is equal, then the second highest card wins. If both/all players have the exact same hand and strength of suit, then the pot is drawn.
Straight
A straight hand is five cards of mixed suit in sequential order. The player with the highest straight wins the pot. Remember, like with a straight flush, an Ace must start or end the sequence of numbers.
Three of a Kind
Three of a Kind is when a player has 3 cards of the same value. In poker, this hand is commonly referred to as a ‘set’.
Two Pair
This happens when 2 different pairs of cards appear in the same hand.
Pair
This is one of the most common hands when you play poker online. This is a hand which includes 2 of the same value of card, irrelevant of the other cards in the hand or suit. If two players have a pair, the highest pair wins.
High Card
When a player has none of the abovementioned hands, the winner will be the player with the highest card, making the best 5 card hand.
