Strip Poker- i love
What makes earning money hot is strip Poker. Strip Poker is an altogether different variation of the Poker card game. As the name suggests, players have to remove their clothing one by one according to occurrence of the events in their Poker. game. Most often, such a particular type of Poker game does not occur in reality. It ends up being an imagination of some players.
On the other hand, there are specific instances of occurrences of strip Poker game too. The main factor though is frequency of occurrence of such a game is very low. The most famous strip Poker production on record is National Lampoon's Strip Poker. WWE, Playboy, and other pin-up models took part in no-limit Texas Hold'em Poker competition.
The entire production and filming was at Hedonism II nudist resort in Negril, Jamaica. Later, Pay-Per-View aired it in 2005. Winner of the first episode was Playboy model Taylor Kennedy. Taylor stripped five other models completely naked to win the title. National Lampoon's Strip Poker was also the first title in National Lampoon's history to feature full frontal female nudity.
I actually play strip Poker with my boyfriend when i am feeling that funny feeling. It is a fun way of teasing each other. I also play it when i am with girlfriends for the sake if a clean fun. It not only make you bring home plenty of cash, it also enforces some kind of a unique bond between players. I have included the game rules for your convenience.
Game Rules
Strip Poker functions similar to that of any other variety of Poker game. You can play accordingly with number of players and adopt betting and dealing rules accordingly. Players form their own rules of the game for implementation at the end of a hand. Some of them include:
(1) Player with the best hand can remove a clothing of another player. This player can choose the player whose clothing needs shedding.
(2) Player with the worst hand has to remove a part of his clothing. Otherwise, player losing the maximum money in that particular round has to remove part of his clothing.
(3) Sometimes, player could trade a piece of his clothing for chips if he is in need of them.
(4) At the end, all players except the winner lose an article of their clothing or their full clothing.
(5) The game sometime continues until all players are in their nude.
(6) Sometimes, you can buy back your clothing when you earn back chips. Here, there is no long term or total loss of clothing. However, without such an occurrence, nudity is always on an increase throughout the game.
(7) Furthermore, game continues with losing players performing sexual acts after losing all their clothing.
Strip Poker could be an accepted and enjoyed form of fantasy game in certain specific cases:
Courtship: Willing partners agree to perform intimate acts as a part of the game. Most often, it is between two individuals only.
Mature Relationship: Mature partners could try adventurous ways of becoming more intimate with each other. It could be a way of introducing variety into their intercourse.
Recreation: Adults partake in the game without any intention of progressing towards sexual intercourse. Instead, it is plain recreation.
Partying: Some youth groups indulge in such partying acts.
Pornography: Pervert individuals take part in such pornographic display combining with their favorite games.

Hot and Intense
It is true that girls have to make unusual efforts so they can be successful in playing Poker. In some point that is very sexist, but in another way, many babes are making huge money in just a night just by showing their god given assets while playing Poker.
Is gambling better than sex? Some people equate money to power. Money can give you a lot of power. But it can also strip you of the power if you lose it. Some gamblers would rather gamble than have sex. Not my friend, who wants it all. She has had some of her deepest and most intense orgasms after winning big at a casino or a table. There is something about money and sex that go together. Money is quite the aphrodisiac.
The first man she married was over 10 years older than her. She was young and a bit of a bimbo when it came to men. He was a gambler, distinguished and loved Blackjack.
He liked to have her around because she looked good on his arm and she knew how to gamble. It gave them something to talk about. Sex was very plain and they did not have it very often. But the gambling was sensational!
For me, i like how they achieved balance in their relationship.
There is a balance every couple has to achieve. It is like most things in life. Too much of the same thing becomes boring. Can you imagine winning every hand of Texas Hold'em or Blackjack you played? Can you imagine having sex 24 hours a day? Hell, I would miss the action in the casino. Just like how i would miss the action in the bedroom if I stayed in the casino 24 hours a day.
I can still remember the first time she shared her story to me on how she associated sex with Poker. She was eighteen years old and was at her boyfriend Big Mike’s house, who is also a friend. They were all alone as his parents had gone out of town to a funeral. They were playing Blackjack for pennies and then Big Mike asked her if she wanted to play strip Poker.
She agreed – after all, Big Mike wasn’t called Big Mike for nothing. This was the first and only time she ever cheated at gambling. She was a much better Poker player than Big Mike. So you know what i mean when i say that my friend is kinda a bimbo- she knows she is and she is not shy to admit because she is very real and i love her for that.
It ended how my friend never won a hand and he had her naked in minutes. What happened next I’ll leave to your imagination. Of course she did not share me the exact details of what happened next but i am sure that it is pretty hot and intense, knowing those two.
To this day, my friend uses her sexiness to distract men in playing Poker. What men did not know is that aside from being hot and sexy, my friend also is a very good Poker player. Once she had you wrapped around her fingers, you are definitely going to lose. She is one perfect example of making unusual efforts just so she can get what she wants.

Why i love online poker...roar
A good friend of mine just recently asked me why i switched from playing table Poker to playing Online Poker. Well the fact of the matter is i did not really abandon the casino or the table Poker, it just so happens that i am kind of lazy nowadays to go out and play outside when i can play at the comfort of my own home, in my room and in bed to be specific.
If you are a great fan of table Poker then i should not see why you cannot be a great fan of Online Poker.
Poker is a popular game played around the world- but with the invention of the Internet, the game has become even more popular as a whole. All types of Poker styles, games, and tastes can be satisfied with the Internet- but what specific benefits do Online Poker players get or rather what do i get from playing Poker at home?
Hmmm... I do not know. Kidding! Well, If you are a fan of “ Poker night” with the guys, you know how much time that can be spent just setting the Poker table up for a game. There is the table, chips, cards, snacks, refreshments, chairs, and quite a few other variables that go into the setup. Thanks to the Internet, Poker players can enjoy an instant game of Poker whenever they want without having to go through the hassle of setting up.
When Poker players want Poker- by golly, they want Poker! There shouldn’t be an excuse for calling a game off because several people had “things come up,” and you get the call just before the Poker game starts. This happens to me all the time and i really hate it. It is actually one of the reasons why i have been playing Online Poker so i can completely avoid this kind of problem associated with Poker table.
If you aren’t keen on betting, there are plenty of places on the Internet that offer free Online Poker. This is a nice change from the real world, where many friends and family members would demand real money be played. With Online Poker- you choose if you are in the mood for risking your money or not!
Another benefit i really like in Online Poker is that it is global! It connects you to other Online Poker players from different countries and different cultures. Share ideas with them and without a doubt learn from them.
When you excel in playing Poker on the Internet, you will start opening opportunities for yourself. Many casinos who run Online Poker websites will offer prizes and cash to players that do well- but more importantly, they offer invites to real Online Poker tournaments. This is the perfect opportunity to show the world what you got in real life- and thanks to the Internet no less.
It will not make you less of a Poker player if you decide to play online. In fact, i think, well at times, Online Poker is more advisable than playing outside since it gives you more advantages, but in the end, it is still you who decides which is really better. As for me, it has to be Online Poker.

Observe your Opponents
I had been mentioning several days ago- in my posts- that one of the most frustrating aspects for a young (and that’s not referring to age, but to experience) Poker players can be when you go scrounging for all the information and advice you can get, only to find that while you might get some good advice, you have no idea how to translate that into a practical use at the Poker table. One of the most common examples I see of this is the sage advice: “Observe your opponents.”
This is great advice, and it is absolutely necessary to becoming a great Poker player, but what does this mean? That’s why in these articles I’ve tried to use as many concrete examples as I could, so maybe it would help anyone reading it along the way a couple good players helped me out when I was just getting started. Here’s a lesson from a game a couple days ago that hopefully can help illustrate part of what it means to “study your opponent.”
Part of the difference between an extremely tight good player and a player who plays strong hands but fails miserably is knowing how to play those good starting hands. I watched a player show down with the following three hands, which ended up with three boards like this. All three were hands he lost:
His hand: The board:
Now granted, he ran into bad luck, but that first hand should have been thrown away the moment a bet showed up, that second hand had “proceed with extreme caution” written all over it, and that third, you just accept you’re having a bad day and get rid of it—especially by the turn. He kept playing them, though, and lost a lot of chips.
Here’s my observations from “watching.” He is NOT a strong player. Just because he has a strong starting hand does not mean he knows how to play it—in fact he kept betting those hands to the river. Other players respected him when they missed their hands, but I watched the board. Pocket pairs always had a chance of hurting me, but I knew he overvalued starting hands. If I had 3rd pair on a junk board, I kept betting because he was paying me off high cards. If I hit a weak flush or weak straight, I kept betting because he was valuing a pair too high.
See the difference? Just a glance of the cards he shows would say strong player, but that’s not the right read. He plays strong starting hands, so you should know if you have pocket nines and the flop is all face paint, you want to throw your pair away because he’s likely to have hit big. If you limped in with 2-2 suited and the board is 2-T-A, you’re all set to go. Don’t just watch the hands, watch how they’re played. It’ll be a big boost to your game and your bank roll.

DON'T BUY THE SEX, BUY THE GAME
I have been told over and over again, that in Poker, sex sells. Though i know that sex is one of the greatest gift of being alive, and though i had been invited several times, i still think that sex for the sake of Poker should be avoided.
I really think it is kind of disgusting if you engage in sex just so you can know the secret or whatever it is to know about that particular famous Poker player. I mean, you can be successful in your own way. If you are really determined, nothing is impossible and you can beat every opponent you want to beat. I always say to those who ask, read Poker Reviews so you will know what is the right, Poker Rooms and Poker Strategy suited for you. Though some Poker Review sites are purely advertorial, there are still some sites out there who offer honest and unbiased reviews. An example would be the links in this post, just follow the links and you will be directed to the site where i think every single review is honest.
Moving on to Poker strategy here are some helpful tips for beginners or average Poker players. Be sure to follow it by heart, not just by mind.
My friends and I started out learning Poker by playing sit and go tournaments. It was a great way to learn about tournaments, blinds structure and aggression while not bleeding your whole deposit in a couple hours. We actually use to pride ourselves on how long it would be until we had to reload! Playing very tight a few years ago was actually the thing to do to make money.
Or at least not lose money. When you are learning Poker strategy that is especially crucial.
Super rock tight isn’t exactly the best way to play sit and go tournaments these days, because there are a lot of educated players now that use Poker calculator tools that really help their game and vastly improve critical decision making. Now wouldn’t it be great to have a system or training tool that can help you with those types of decisions?
Well, yeah having the right Poker tools is definitely an advantage, but it is the right moves that will make you win.
Pokeris a game that is filled with decisions which need to be made, risks that need to be taken and money that gets to go home with someone. If you want it to be you, you have to make the right moves.
Which move should you make ?
Is a fold the best thing to do? Perhaps a bet or maybe even a call is best.
Depending upon what move you make, the entire game is affected. However, in order to know what move to make, you need to know what is going on within the game. One of the most important things to remember is this; when you feel as if you should bet but you don't know for sure if you should just call, you should always bet.
That means that you have a feeling something good is in your hand or that you're going to take the game. Another thing to remember is that if you are having doubts and feel as if you're not going to win the round, you should most likely just fold.
Sure, it seems difficult however, you need to pay attention to your intuition as well as to the outward signs of how the game is going and who you are playing. When you are able to play 'in your face' and Poker make the other players sweat a bit and second guess themselves, you should go for it.
By betting or raising, you are placing more money in the pot as bait for other players to do the same. You are increasing the amount of money that you can possibly win and playing this kind of poker is a great way to take home the loot. A lot of times within the game of , if Poker you re- raise an opponent, he or she is going to want to prove that they are not afraid to check or even raise again.
This is one of the best Poker strategies that you can use in certain situations. Let's say you have the nuts and your opponents are raising and betting and action is good. Should you raise again ?
In most instances, simply calling and allowing yourself another round in the game is a great way to get as much money as you can from the bets. This is because you are in the game, you know that you can't be beaten but you are not scaring anyone off either by betting really high.
All of these moves are dependent upon the situation you are in during the game as well as what kind of players you are playing against. One thing is for sure; you want them second guessing their every move and afraid of you. That's how great Poker players win games.
The tips i just told you are a better way to improve your Poker standing rather than being part of the mediocre crowd who uses act of population to gain advances.
Poker thoughts....
I have been playing Poker for the past couple of years and have yet to get tired of it. Many conservative people might not like the idea of getting my whole income just by playing but i do not really care. I enjoy the job i do and i get a lot of money from it. I think that is what really matters. Do not get me wrong, i am an environmental lawyer just like the famous Poker player David Singer, and i still practice that profession until now, without charging anyone. I mean, i am earning a lot just by using my skills in Poker, the least i can do for my environment is to take care of it without charging anyone.
As someone who is so used to seeing both sides of the coin, i know that playing Poker has its practical and addicting side, whether you play at home or in the casino. For the young generation, especially the youth today, i do not think they should be playing Poker for a living. They still have a lot ahead of them, and it is way better if they focus on their passion. If they like to write, then they should write first, rather than playing Poker for a living right away. One thing that i have observed in some is that by playing Poker and getting addicted to it, they tend to abandon their dreams of becoming someone- other than being the best Poker player of course. They are not wrong in saying that a Poker job, is the best job but if money is not an issue, i would not let it be my primary source of income.
Sure playing Poker generates huge amount of money i wouldn't get in a year of hard work of plain 'lawyering', but it still saps your potential of becoming someone if only money is not an issue. With Poker career growth is impossible. Unless you are the manager or whatever, your Poker career is stagnant. What happens after you win huge money and then be known by all the ladies and big bosses around? Nothing. You just gain a lot of money and fame but not the knowledge of being a professional writer, actress, lawyer, etc.
I never meant to preach, i am just merely saying that Poker is not everything, and you should not make Poker your everything.
Come to think of it, being a great Poker player requires skills that a lot of mediocre Poker players do not have. I just do not like it when some people regard Poker living as trash. Do they even know what they are talking about?
Though too much of playing Poker is bad, Poker still as an art, one that you have to work hard for. Working hard means studying hard every move or strategy that will be helpful to you so you can beat the sharks. You can read several Poker Reviews and joing Poker Forums. Another way to enhance Online Poker skills is by observing games.
I love Poker but i still think too much of it is bad. And just because i say too much of it is bad, it does not mean that people can just regard as a small thing, because obviously it's not since you need to possess state of the art skills and mindset to be able to win.

PLAY POKER FOR POVERTY
It's contradictory but yes, the Poker industry is urging people to play Poker so they can help those who do not have enough money to eat thrice a day.
When you come to think of it, Poker enthusiasts utilize huge amounts of money- When i say huge, i mean HUGE!- that can make a family living in poverty survive for a year. I know i do not have the right to judge their ways- since after all, that is their own money, but i just find it unsettling and unusual when the gambling industry participate in a charitable or causely event.
For instance, Absolute Poker, one of the world's fastest growing Online Poker sites had call for a charity Poker tournament last year to combat world hunger, poverty and disease as they say.
I know that the Poker industry, just like any other concerned industry, wants nothing but to help alleviate poverty, but the thing is,gambling itself makes some people poor since it lures people to easy money without working hard for anything.
Gambling like any other activity either has a good side or a bad side. It depends on the person doing the activity. Gambling, however, besides having two sides of the coin, is also addicting. Why will you quit playing Poker when it gives you the amount of money that will satisfy you? Most people quit their job, in place of playing Poker for a living.
Though Poker satisfies our monetary or financial needs, it impedes career and personal growth. Money is not everything, i am sure many know this. Playing Poker should not run your whole life and people who play Poker regularly should know when to quit so they can find a life wherein they will be satisfied even without the act of generating a large amount of money.
“When it comes to extreme poverty, too many people on this planet have been dealt a bad hand,” stated David Clainer, senior vice president for Absolute Poker. “We’re inviting poker players to help put an end to poverty through a fundraiser that’s both rewarding and fun.”
I never believed that poverty will end. Povery has long been a part of humanity. Poverty is sort of saying that no matter what humans do, there will always be inequality. Rich or poor, ugly or beautiful and lucky or unlucky.
It is dumb to say that by playing Poker poverty will end because in the first place, gambling itself contributes to poverty and inequality. Am i right or am i right? Laugh out loud!
Despite all the unpleasant qualities of Poker, i still appreciate its art. Playing Poker requires skill. Since their is inequality not everyone has the right skill to be a Poker champion or good Poker player. And just like any hardworking player, Poker players who have had hard years in playing Poker deserves the right to be respected and be called a champion.
It is important that we excel in the stuff that we do. Sometimes that is all that matters. Excelling in playing Poker does not make a person bad, insensitive, or lazy to find a good and decent job, it only means that Poker players are human through and through who strive hard to make their place in relation to the world.

The thing with online poker
Have you noticed that victory in Online Poker is a hard and an extremely frustrating affair?
Right. I know you’re a Poker addict, and I also know you have studied Online Poker for years now- i am too- but more often than not something is just not right when it comes to playing Online Poker. Read on, maybe you can relate to my ramblings.
I am really not sure if reading poker books can make you produce wise decisions when it comes to beating your Online Poker opponent. But some still read those Poker books since they are written by true professionals, with tens of years of experience in Poker, all of them not only making a mere living off the game, but amassing fortunes on account of their Online Poker skills.
I know i have no right to judge their Poker ways but here is an interesting what if. What if those books were not even written and is not applicable to the game you play everyday in your PC?
Those books are about real Poker. They talk about playing Poker in flesh and discuss situations and address live Poker issues. Turns out, Online Poker has few things in common with the real casino Poker other than its rules.
For one thing, live Poker players are used to being bombarded with a plethora of tells all the time. There are so many Poker tells, from facial expression to signs of anxiety, and the mirrors of the soul: the eyes, that it would be tough to even queue them all up here.
Sometimes people will look absolutely disinterested in their hand, they’ll even get up and leave the table when they have nothing but rags. You will never have such easy tells in Poker.
Things that are forbidden in real Poker are not regulated in any way in
Poker People can play while on the phone or while having visitors over. They can be playing together with a rookie, trying to teach him/her to play… Calls can often be made by a simple mistake (allowing the rookie to play on his own, or by clicking on the wrong button of the interface).
Poker is a world apart from its casino brethren.
Not only will a good live Poker player have to deal with a shortage of tells, he’ll also have to deal with opponents under circumstances he’d never experienced or thought possible.
Sometimes, online players do not even aim to become long term winners. Promotions like rakeback, cashback or prop deals will allow them to be slight losers at the end of the month and still end up making money. At a live Poker table you’re always 100% sure of your opponent’s goals. In Poker…that is simply not the case.
There is a lot of multi-tabling going on online as well. People play at 2-6 tables at a time, possibly more, in order to maximize the rake they generate, which will get them more rakeback and their bonuses unlocked. Multi tabling is also one of the simplest ways to squeeze some significant dough out of low and micro limit tables.
How are you going to play against a guy who is paying attention to 5 more tables in the same time?
There are tells in Poker too, only they have absolutely nothing in common with the tells you may get used to in casino Poker. Betting patterns are the most powerful tells here, including the speed of reaction. If you check then suddenly 3 other players check on you almost instantly, that means they already had their user interface set to check/fold before you made your decision. That means, they probably do not have a thing.
Looking for clues to whether someone is multi-tabling or not is also important. This guy will play plain strategy. Bet when he has something, fold on everything else. He cannot afford to credit more of his attention to any particular table, so he’ll have to play it in a simplistic manner.
I order to learn to play Poker properly…you’ll probably have to wait till books on this specific subject come out, or - if you cannot afford to wait - go out there and learn through trial and error.
Right. I know you’re a Poker addict, and I also know you have studied Online Poker for years now- i am too- but more often than not something is just not right when it comes to playing Online Poker. Read on, maybe you can relate to my ramblings.
I am really not sure if reading poker books can make you produce wise decisions when it comes to beating your Online Poker opponent. But some still read those Poker books since they are written by true professionals, with tens of years of experience in Poker, all of them not only making a mere living off the game, but amassing fortunes on account of their Online Poker skills.
I know i have no right to judge their Poker ways but here is an interesting what if. What if those books were not even written and is not applicable to the game you play everyday in your PC?
Those books are about real Poker. They talk about playing Poker in flesh and discuss situations and address live Poker issues. Turns out, Online Poker has few things in common with the real casino Poker other than its rules.
For one thing, live Poker players are used to being bombarded with a plethora of tells all the time. There are so many Poker tells, from facial expression to signs of anxiety, and the mirrors of the soul: the eyes, that it would be tough to even queue them all up here.
Sometimes people will look absolutely disinterested in their hand, they’ll even get up and leave the table when they have nothing but rags. You will never have such easy tells in Poker.
Things that are forbidden in real Poker are not regulated in any way in
Poker People can play while on the phone or while having visitors over. They can be playing together with a rookie, trying to teach him/her to play… Calls can often be made by a simple mistake (allowing the rookie to play on his own, or by clicking on the wrong button of the interface).
Poker is a world apart from its casino brethren.
Not only will a good live Poker player have to deal with a shortage of tells, he’ll also have to deal with opponents under circumstances he’d never experienced or thought possible.
Sometimes, online players do not even aim to become long term winners. Promotions like rakeback, cashback or prop deals will allow them to be slight losers at the end of the month and still end up making money. At a live Poker table you’re always 100% sure of your opponent’s goals. In Poker…that is simply not the case.

MORE POKER BABES
One of the interesting craze that makes the world crazy right now is the coming into view of Poker hotties and Poker babes.
Since poker and magazines like Maxim and FHM have the same demographics, it was unavoidable that some of the women who play Poker would become sex symbols of a sort.
People reading these magazines and people who are doing searches for Poker related stuffs like "Poker hotties" and "Poker babes" on the search engines all the time are basically the people who make a demand on hot women players.
What better way to celebrate this than to have your own list of Poker hotties? Here is a list of who people think are the sexiest women in Poker.
Jennifer Tilly
If you have always been a big fan of voluptuous women, then Jennifer Tilly certainly qualifies. Aside from being hot, she is smart and a good Poker player too. She has recently taken a television role as some kind of bimbo that is dating Henry Winkler's character, but according to the recent article in Bluff magazine, she would rather be playing Poker than waiting for her next scene on the set.
Evelyn Ng
Also known as Evybabee, Evelyn is a statuesque young woman who could probably have any Poker playing man she wants. She would probably be the dream Poker playing girlfriend for any guy who likes video games, parties, and tall, thin, beautiful women.
The thing is, Evelyn Ng is not just a Poker hottie. She's also a great Poker player.
Mimi Rogers
This might be a little controversial, since Mimi Rogers is a little older than most of the women who are currently considered "Poker babes", I think she is without a doubt still one of the most attractive women in Hollywood. I think Tom Cruise should have stayed with her, but I guess he thinks he traded up.
I doubt Penelope Cruz, Katie Holmes, or Nicole Kidman could hold their own at Texas Hold'em table like Mimi Rogers though.
Clonie Gowen
She lives in Dallas, Texas, but she is well-known all over the world for her Poker playing abilities. Clonie Gowen is one of the celebrity Poker players on Team Fulltilt Poker, and she's painfully thin and blonde. Those are two traits that are very popular indeed with the readers of stuff like Maxim. She's also a good enough Poker player that I wouldn't want to go anywhere near a table she was playing at, although at Fulltilt Poker you can actually sit down and play with Clonie when she is there.
Jennifer "Jennicide" Leigh
Known as "Jennicide" on Poker Stars, Jennifer Leigh has made quite a name for herself as a law student turned Poker player. Any time she plays online now, you can pretty much count on a couple hundred guys showing up to watch her play. This is one of the most amazing phenomena in Poker as far as everyone is concerned; people showing up to watch someone play Poker online because she's attractive. I mean, how big of a turn-on could it possibly be to watch a motionless avatar play Poker? Laugh as much as you want but this is really happening right now. People drool over an avatar.
So there. These are some of the Poker babes Poker enthusiasts want to play with. For more of them, just refer to our Poker Blog.
