My New Card Protector
Last week I found online two interestiong coins, and decided to buy both and use as a card protector in poker games. I recomend it to all patriots and poker players.
The Freedom Coin http://www.freedomcoin.net/ was designed by a 20 year veteran of the US Navy by way of a dream he had that woke him up in the middle of the night. The Freedom Coin is a result of that dream.
The American Patriots Medallion http://www.americanpatriotsmedallion.com/ as a gift, an award, or as a way to teach our children and grandchildren about the special place in which they live

Online Poker After The Black Friday
Two weeks ago the Obama administration has just trampled on the rights of millions of Americans. This is also a scary reminder of President Obama's vision of a government with the power to shut down websites it doesn't like, before a trial has even started. The adults should have the right to gamble with their own money. Government has no business interfering. Congress should repeal the laws that prohibit gambling, whatever the format.The shut down of the big three online poker sites is not the end of the online poker for americans. Just the last week I received a few emails from an "american friendly" poker sites. So, if you need your daily fix of online poker you can join one of the smaller sites that accept (for now) US players, and many offer rake back from 33%-50% and double rewards. Just Google "us online poker" and you will find many sites like Bodog.com, LockPoker.com, CarbonPoker.com and multiple sites from the Merge netrwork.
CakePoker।com has long been one of the most popular U.S.-friendly rooms and is still taking U.S. players.
Make a deposit at BlackChipPoker.com, enter the bonus code BCP375 and you will be rewarded with a 75% bonus of up to $375. And now the good news, this bonus can be claimed as many times as you'd like.
Aced.com is now offering a brand new Aced Poker Bonus Code! This bonus is a 100% initial deposit bonus of up to $600. To get this Aced Poker Bonus, you need to use the Aced Bonus Code: ACED
At ClubWPT.com and GoldStrikePoker.com you can play unlimited risk free online poker for a flat $19.95 monthly membership fee.
All of you from Madison may know Mike Murphy। Mike is promoting many poker sites and can refer you to a best deal। You can find Mike on facebook.com/MichaelJMurphy
The newest site I found is pokerview.com It's american friendly, and you can play just online using your browser, or you can download their Poker Room software. PokerView.com has an interesting option with tables that use your webcam so you can see everyone at the table. Try it, it's fun. My favorite game at PokerView.com is $2-$4 PLO, and you can find me often at the table.

Playing electronic poker table at Dejope
During the game you can check your stats. In my previous game at the table I saw the flop just 21% of the time. Today I decided to play more hand and in the first two hours I saw 43% of all flops. By the end of five hours that number went down to 34.70%.

How to get paid
It’s Friday night at the Ho-Chunk, after work. I started good, but than with AQ run into a guy with AK ad lost about $130. Well wait a minute buddy, I hope you don't leave before I get you. A few hands later the same player raised $16 pre-flop.
I looked at my suited 8,7 and asked my self is this a moment to get my chips back. I have a dealer's button known as "the bad play button" so with the position I decided to join other five callers.
Pot was about $100 when I floped the straight. Now, I need to get paid. I decided to bet $25 on the flop and keep him a hand if he has a pair or AK. He called and and I knew he has a big ace. With an over pair he should raise.
The turn card was a king and I start repeating to myself "please let him have AK, please AK ...", and I made $75 bet. He called and I knew he has a king or two. The river couldn’t help him, so after a short "Hollywood act" I went all in and he called.
Well done Mr. Wegas.
