How to be an asshole
I’m surprised The Boys at work didn’t write this one….
I’m not sure how many men actually need a guide to reach their full potential.
This is funny, but also disturbingly familiar….

Hey! Careerwomen have feelings too… Or do they?
The article "Don't Marry Career Women" caused a big stink around the blogging world. Tempers flared, irate career women hissed their dissent, non-career women (referred to as high-school dropouts minding a cash register) screamed their outrage and Forbes.com got great traffic.
Here’s one of the more enjoyable comments made on the article that kicked off:
"Guys: A word of advice. Marry pretty women or ugly ones. Short ones or tall ones. Blondes or brunettes. Just, whatever you do, don't marry a woman with a career.

Party Poker capitalizes on kaka….
Vanity will sell products every time. Or rather – that’s what Party Poker believes.
They intend on capitalizing on mankind’s vanity by using washroom mirrors in up-market clubs throughout the UK to advertise. They’re hoping that while you check out your own reflection, you’ll also check out their ads.
Clever? Maybe.
I’m not sure if this is going to be a “Number two” idea…

Online poker helps women turn the tables
Although this is UK-focused – I believe the same applies to America. Hell – I’m a prime example of a woman who practices online to be able to beat the crap out of The Boys on Poker Night.
If I’m ever invited, that is.
Orange.co.uk reports that an increasingly large percentage of poker punters are women playing online. In fact, more than a third of online poker players are female.
Reasons for the sudden rise in popularity among women include:
- The accessibility of online games
- The fact that the Internet has made gambling fun and available to everyone
- You can play for free while you learn the rules and pick-up the basics (Note: I learned the game at The Gaming Club Online Casino and to this day prefer it to the other online sites.)
- When you’re ready to gamble for real, you can play with low stakes and potentially win big money
- You can do it any time, night or day. (According to the article, many top players have confessed to playing in their underwear!)
- The anonymity of the Internet. Because of the faceless nature of online gaming, there’s no chance of you as a women being regarded as inferior.
Tip: A high percentage of women pretend to be men whilst playing online, but many guys pretend to be women. So there’s your first tip: if you’re playing against others online, don’t assume anything from a player name.

Should Bodog players cash out and run?
Do you know where YOUR poker room or casino is hosted?
In light of the BetOnSPORTS @#$% up and the shocking realisation that tens of thousands of players could lose their money/wagers - isn't it time to find out:
Where is your poker room or casino hosted? Take
Bodog. Their site reads:
“The Bodog Group of Companies, headquartered in San Jose, Costa Rica…. Bodog.com takes pride in being licensed in the Costa Rica, Kahnawake and the United Kingdom. In 2004, Bodog.com was the first company of its kind to have its name trademarked in the United States.”
No thanks. Personally, I would cash out quicker than you can say "BetOnSPORTS" and run for the woods (or at least a safer shore where the US authorities aren't likely to arrest the fatcats and hold on to your hard-earned entertainment money...)
Same with
Goldenpalace, who is "Legally licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Canada".
Mmmmm... still a bit close to the heat for my liking.
Meanwhile, London listed Australian gambling group Betcorp has become the latest online sportsbook company to stop taking telephone bets from American residents, and is reviewing its US-facing businesses in the wake of the BetonSports arrests and charges
Read more.I'll keep looking for other poker rooms and online casinos that are located a little too close to the action, so keep coming back to check for yours.
PS. In case you're wondering, I play at
The Gaming Club Online Casino and
River Belle Online Casino, which are both safely tucked away in Gibraltar....(thank god)
Poker Tournaments go AI (Artificial Intelligence)
Competing robots battled it out in a contest that included a two-tournament arrangement
of one-on-one Texas Hold'em. The bot best able to take money from the average player was part of a bankroll competition, and there was a section that adjudged the best program for getting the edge on more experienced and expert player levels.

Presentations and Big Kahunas
Spent most of the night fine-tuning and polishing my presentation for today. This is an important one (the Big Kahunas will be there and I don't want to #$%^ it up ), so no mistakes allowed. Hahaha... actually maybe it's a good omen - I tried my hand at some online slots last night (I needed a quick break) and played Big Kahuna. Lots of fun, and I actually got a decent payout. Although I have to admit, poker is still my first love.
Desperately tired now, and on my millionth cup of coffee.
Is it weekend yet??
Up, up and away...
So it's time to share the joy (or misery - depending on the mood, I guess). "The Boys" are having their poker night again this evening, and - big surprise - I haven't been invited. Never mind that I've been practising online like a crazed madwoman - all in preparation of the day those damned testosterone-infused estrogen-fearing male colleagues of mine invite me to one of their prized poker nights.
Damn.... as hard as it is to admit - I really want in!! Would it help if I stuffed a sock into my pants and kept grunting and adjusting myself? Ugh, maybe not...
I can't wait for the sweet day when I'll knock their assess to the ground and take their life savings with my flawless poker game.
Until then - I'll keep on practising
Greetings everybody
Hi everyone...
