Flop advice in Online Poker Gambling
Raise with AA-QQ, AK and AQs from any position.
Basically, all other starting hands are limping hands. Even though you might re-raise with them when you are defending your blinds, you might also raise with these hands when you are first in from last position.
Mix up your play sometimes by raising/calling/re-raising with hands you would not normally play. This prevents predictability in online poker gambling.
General pre-Flop Advice in Online Poker Gambling
The majority of the time, raise/re-raise with top-pairs (AA-QQ) and top connectors (AK, AQs) to make those with low pairs and various connectors pay to see flops against you. They will often have the opportunity to double up on you if they hit. Many beginners do not realize this and fold too often before the flop.
Stick to premium hands. You will pay dearly to “chase” with second-best hands when playing No Limit.
Keep most raises down to 70% to 100% (3 times the big blind is typically equals an 80% pot bet) to save money for the times when you get re-raised or called by strong holdings. If there are limpers in front of you, raise to about 4-6 times the big blind.
Have respect for strong, tight players (you should drop AQ if a strong player raises under the gun). When very weak players have entered the pot, call and take flops with them.
In order to decide the correct action, keep these factors in mind when :
1. What did you flop and what is your relative strength?
2. Who, if anyone, raised before the flop? What kind of player are they?
3. What position do you have relative to the player who raised?
4. Number of players (it is hard to bluff 3 or more opponents and there is a big chance of someone hitting a strong hand)?
5. Your stack size and the opponents’ stack size. When facing a bet, fold unless you have good reason to doubt the other player has strong cards. Because that player is “setting the odds”, it is important to make the right choice. Remember, your opponent can be holding anything from the stone cold nuts down to rags – if your hand is decent it may very well be an underdog to many possible hands. You will not always fold. In fact, sometimes answer with a raise when you have a good chance of grabbing the lead or if you think the opponent is weak. Then, YOU will be “setting the odds” and forcing the other player to make a decision, and potentially, the mistake. Save your calls unless you have very good reason not to such as like slow-playing a monster or drawing to the nuts in a multi-way pot. You will seldom get the odds for chasing “outs” by calling, unless your opponent’s bet too small or they give away free cards. By calling with mediocre cards, you become set up for a “guessing game” where you have to read opponents well and “make moves” to win.

How to become a famous World of Warcraft player (Page 1 of 2)
In a game with 9 million subscribers one may think it is impossible to stand out from the crowd or to be recognized for some unique talent, whether for epic gear, a unique look, or even the most memorable, and often overlooked – personality! World of Warcraft may be a virtual game but it’s principle on becoming well liked and famous are the same as those in real life; when we combine a unique look through gear/clothing/avatar, a catchy, easy to remember name (Grutinkaol is an example of a bad one), and a playstyle/outrageous event (Leeroy Jenkins moment) you are sure to become an infamous WoW player.
The first step to creating a truly memorable Warcraft character is deciding on a name and avatar look. This should never be overlooked as people judge characters the same as people (by first impressions and looks). A good example of how a simple unique character can be remembered is the case of a player creating “Chuck Norris”. The similarity was hilarious and led to the viral spread of his virtualtoon . Creating a unique name is a bit harder as many of the great names will already be taken at this point, but don’t rely on a name generator to choose your destiny. If you need some inspiration I suggest using a name generator to get your creative juices flowing, but do NOT choose a generated name unless you want to be generic (or you get lucky and find a cool name).
You have decided to make a troll and name him “CtrlAltDelete” for this example; granted many games won’t let you use such names but you never know unless you try it out. Usually a good way to get around name filters is to add letters or take away letters and making it still sound the same, i.e.ContrlAltDeleet, ControlAltDlte , or other variations. As far as looks your troll should have unique features (can’t be completely unique of course but go the path less traveled); he/she should have the avatar of one you don’t normally see. Perhaps using the ugliest face with scars and a bright color skin. Getting the “WOW” (pun intended ;p ) affect when someone sees your avatar for the first time will help ensure you are remembered. If your troll is decked out in weird looking gear (doesn’t have to be the best functional wise), i.e. neon gear, or odd looking weapons, chances are people will associate yourself with uniqueness.
Now that you look the part of CtrlAltDelete you must PLAY the part! This is extremely important; a president must act “presidential” and so a “insert your persona” must act a certain way. If you are playing the Elite troll inpvp then you must talk trash to your opponents telling them to reference your name when they think about fighting you (ControlAltDelete ) will close program. Or, you can take the friendly route and be the flamboyant troll everyone loves and respects. Whatever your persona is you have to emphasize it times 100. No celebrity is famous without having extremely tough bias associated with them. SimonCowell from American Idol is a harsh ass-hat, while Britney Spears is the young sexy train wreck. People love to categorize and pigeon hole people. If your troll runs around and you act sad or rude how can you possibly be seen as a flamboyant troll? If SimonCowell became friendly and praised everyone his mystique would wear off. Be the Simon Cowell or Richard Simmons of your virtual world.
