Top Ten PC Games In The World

Posted by admin in Computer Games on January 11, 2012

What elements push a game beyond mere goodness and into greatness? To this author, PC games are best when they deliver a transcendent gaming experience that is possible only with the aid of a personal computer: They don’t simulate board or card games, reproduce real-world sports, or try to approximate movies. They are an art form unto themselves. To be considered, a game must have achieved most of its prominence on a PC platform. (This explains why Tetris, for example, didn’t make the cut: It was clearly the Nintendo Game Boy’s killer app). I defined a “PC” as any consumer computer that has a keyboard the user can program with arbitrary code–not just a PC of the IBM variety.

Skills to Consistently Win Facebook Poker Chips For Texas Holdem Poker Games on Social Networks

Posted by admin in Poker on January 7, 2012

In the short term, Facebook texas holdem poker is mainly a game of luck. Over the course of a few hands or even a few dozen hands even the worst player can hit a streak and win a few million Facebook poker chips, but to consistently and reliably win in the long term requires a whole other set of skills and principles that most beginner players simply do not possess and most advanced players sometimes forget. Here are a few key points to keep in mind next time you sit down at the tables to win a few Facebook poker chips:

Take full advantage of your big hands This principle sounds simple and straightforward but it always amazes me how many players never learn it or just plain forget it when it comes to actually implementing it at the tables. Taking advantage of big hands means, whenever possible, protecting your poker chip stack from hands that don’t offer much reward while taking the risk for pots that offer big gains. I’ve seen countless players chase hands that had a very small chance of winning and for pots that were barely larger than a few blinds.

On the other hand, I’ve seen players land killer hands and completely throw away a great opportunity to win huge pots of Facebook poker chips because they couldn’t pull the trigger, didn’t trust their instincts, or were unable to make an educated judgment about what kind of hands the other players at the table had. If you never take advantage of the “big moments” in poker, you will find your stack of Facebook chips slowly being drained away by the “bad moments”. In order to land a great hand, a player must pay many blinds and even call some preflop raises with less than stellar hands, because the idea is that when the big hand does finally come you will win it all back and then some. But being unable or unwilling to take advantage of your big moments means you will slowly be bled dry of your chips.
