HOW I BECAME A POKEER CHAMPION IN JUST ONE YEAR

 HOW I BECAME A POKEER CHAMPION IN JUST ONE YEAR


I was a newbie to poker when I met Erik Seidel for the first time. Rounders is a 1998 Matt Damon movie that tells the story of a brilliant student in law who works hard to make ends meet and eventually quits law to become a poker player full-time. In the background, you can see a real-life match of poker. It's the 1988 World Series of Poker final-table showdown between a young Seidel (the "master"), as Chan is frequently described by the commentators. This is the most famous non-poker poker match. After the expert trapping of his younger victim, Seidel's set with queens falls to Chan, Chan's straight.


Chan was reigning world champion at the time and Seidel, his first-ever major tournament. To make it to the final table, he had defeated 165 competitors. Seidel, now the master, has been there for thirty years. Seidel is the holder of eight WSOP bracelets - only five other players have more - and a World Poker Tour championship. He is one of only 32 poker hall of fame members. He holds the record for the fourth-highest career tournament winnings in poker history and the fourth-highest number of times he has cashed at the WSOP (114). Many consider him to be the GOAT--the most important player of all-time.


Seidel's longevity is what sets him apart from all other players: He still holds the No. 1 spot. Since his late '80s career began, Seidel has held the No. 1 spot. This takes some practice. Over the last 30 year, the game has undergone a significant transformation. The qualitative aspects of poker, like so many other aspects of modern living, have taken a backseat to the quantitative. Caltech Ph.D.s are now on the tables. You will often see printedouts of statistics columns. GTO (game theoretical optimal) and +EV (positive expected values) are two common terms that often pop up in conversations. Despite the fact that Seidel's play style is psychologically illogical, it has not been a disaster.


Seidel taught me poker three years back. A professional poker player, the professional poker player, would agree to allow a random journalist to follow his journey like a child. It's not to get publicity or money. Seidel is notoriously reserved and doesn't like sharing his methods. However, I was an ideal student in many ways. I am a psychologist with a Ph.D., so I was well-equipped to comprehend Seidel's style. Seidel didn't have to remove me from any bad habits, as I had never been much into playing cards. My lack of experience and academic training made me the perfect candidate to test whether Seidel's psychological approach could win over a strictly mathematical method.


My personal life was very busy at the time. It was not the ideal time to try and answer a vague question about a video game that I didn't know much about. My husband had just been laid off and our lives were in constant flux. But poker quickly became my obsession. It was a great way to test my theories about the role luck plays in our lives. Poker isn’t the roulette wheel of pure luck. Nor is it the chess game of mathematical elegance and perfect data. The nuanced understanding of human intent, interactions and deceptions is what poker relies on, in addition to the underlying mathematics. It gives you the parameters you need to face uncertainty.


Seidel & I came up with a plan. Seidel would train me to compete in the World Series of Poker. With Chan finishing second, this tournament was what he used to launch his career. It would have taken me less that a year of preparation. How to beat Texas Hold 'Em - Poker Tournament Strategy of Dr Winners

Dalam ratusan undian lotere A.S., ditemukan nomor pemenang yang identik. Apakah gambarnya acak?

 Dalam ratusan undian lotere A.S., ditemukan nomor pemenang yang identik. Apakah gambarnya acak? Undian lotere paling menguntungkan di Amerika, di mana komputer secara acak memilih angka yang akan membuat beberapa pemenang yang beruntung menjadi jutawan instan, tidak acak seperti yang terlihat. Banyak nomor pemenang dari Amerika Serikat dihasilkan dalam berbagai permainan. Terkadang, mereka dihasilkan dalam gambar berurutan. Pejabat lotere, termasuk mereka yang sebelumnya menyatakan keprihatinan tentang lotere nasional, menyatakan bahwa angka yang berulang tidak lebih dari kebetulan. Patricia Mayers, juru bicara Lotere Wisconsin mengatakan, "Meskipun pengulangan seperti ini jarang dan tidak biasa, tetapi tidak ada alasan bagi kami untuk mencurigai bahwa angka-angka ini ditarik secara tidak masuk akal." Namun, pengkritik pengundian nomor acak mengklaim bahwa pengundian serupa serta catatan yang mengidentifikasi masalah di beberapa negara bagian menggunakan "pembuat nomor ...

Ini adalah 5kesalahan paling umum saat bermain lotere

 Berikut adalah 10 kesalahan umum yang dilakukan saat bermain lotere 1. Permainan lotere yang salah sedang dimainkan: Ada pilihan yang berbeda tergantung di mana Anda tinggal. Anda perlu mencari tahu permainan lotere mana yang menawarkan peluang tertinggi. Bayangkan jika satu dari 175.000.000 adalah kesempatan Anda? Jika ini masalahnya, membeli tiket untuk memenangkan lebih banyak uang daripada satu juta dolar bukanlah ide yang baik. Meskipun peluang menang hanya 1 dalam setiap 1.832.600, kemungkinan menang akan meningkat meskipun hadiah Anda lebih rendah dari yang sebelumnya. Anda dapat memenangkan pemilihan yang sama di mana pun Anda tinggal. Ada permainan kecil dengan hadiah kecil, seperti permainan tiga, lima, enam, dan enam bola dengan pembayaran jarak menengah. Tetapi ada juga permainan multi-negara besar yang memiliki peluang luar biasa melawan Anda. 2. Nomor pilihan Anda bukanlah hari jadi atau tanggal khusus lainnya. Ini romantis dan imut tetapi tidak berguna saat Anda ber...
