At some point or another in our lives, many of us may have possibly played strip poker. However, even with the so-called “poker boom” of the last decade, strip poker has not hit the mainstream tournament scene. Until now. One of the star attractions of the inaugural London Poker Festival in September is the uniquely staged “Baller Strip Poker Championships”, and organizers have now announced that the event will take place at legendary Stringfellows gentlemen’s club in London’s Covent Garden on September 21st. Stringfellows is without doubt one of the most famous gentlemen’s nightclub in the world, and Bluff Europe has teamed up with the much celebrated venue to offer what will be one of the most exciting events of the 2010 London Poker Festival. However, Everest Poker players needn’t worry about their modesty, as the new format of Baller Strip Poker rules dictate that Stringfellows girls will be doing the undressing on their behalf. Each player will be assigned a Stringfellows dancer, who will be wearing items of clothing to be removed on the player’s behalf. The event will raise money in support of cancer awareness charities. More information about this fun and exciting event can be found at www.BallerStripPoker.com.

Based on the popular British version, Cracker is an psychologically thrilling series, produced by Granada Entertainment for the U.S. Creator Jimmy McGovern takes viewers on a innovative ride with his disturbing take on the crime drama genre. This Americanized police-detective series spans over sixteen one- hour episodes set in Los Angeles California. The talented cast includes Robert Pastorelli who plays a criminal psychologist, and Josh Hartnett who plays Gerry Fitzgerald, or “Fitz” for short. Fitz is a psychological genius, but his methods are somewhat unconventional. Also, Robbie Coltrane, who starred in the first British series, plays a villain in on episode. Graham Davies appeared in 1993.Although Gerry Fitzgerald may have a talent for his field, he carries a insulting, nosy, and loathsome tone to his character. In order to make a living, he does lectures at colleges, a radio show, as well as a small business in a local mini-mall. His skill is not overlooked, as police use him often to help solve difficult cases. Thanks to his quirks and perverse thought process, he has the uncanny ability to dive deep into minds of criminals. However, it is not always easy for Fitz. While sifting through other people’s disturbing thoughts and images, he also fights his own demons, including the abuse of alcohol, gambling, and random sexual affairs, all while trying to keep his relationship with his wife Judith and teenage son Michael.

One of the simplest cocktails to serve is Ghoul-Aid (don’t forget a label!) which is merely made with: A punch bowl, Kool Aid Packets in orange or purple or green, sugar, water, and (of course) vodka.

In addition, it’s always good to have additional items like yogurt, cheese, lemons, ground beef and chicken breast in the refrigerator or freezer.

If you follow all our handy advice, you’ll be sure to stay cool as a cucumber and all your friends will be sure to remember the marvelous party you threw, and keep them talking about it for weeks to come.

The term “outs” in online poker games refers to the number of cards a player needs to complete to a winning hand. For instance, with four cards to a flush, there are nine other cards of that suit in the deck, so the player has nine outs. When you have a pair, there are only two outs to complete to trips.

The more outs an online poker player has, the better the chances are of hitting the hand. When you have to make a decision about whether to call a bet, then you have to consider your outs and compare that to how much is in the pot and its ratio to the bet. If the pot is a smaller ratio to the bet than the number of outs, i.e. four outs which is a 11-1 ratio to win a pot that only pays 5 times the bet, then the pot odds are unfavorable.

When you are drawing for hand with multiple online poker players still remaining in the pot, then understand there are a lot of outs going against you too. If you’ve got top pair on the flop, but there are flushed and straightening cards on the board, with several players remaining in the pot, then even if you’ve hit Aces, your opponents have many outs to beat your high pair. You very few – two more Aces, which is 23-1. And some of your outs to pair your kicker may improve an opponent’s hand by completing a straight or flush.

There’s a brand new trend going around town, and it is this: members of the general public are welcoming strangers into their residences for a remarkable dining event; a three or four course meal, with restaurant-style service, for a tiny proportion of the price. The supper club idea has caught on for a number of reasons: people love to see how others live or have a good nose around their abode, and the hosts like to cook, and showcase their culinary skills.

Certainly, with so many of these supper club joints to decide from throughout London and indeed across the UK, making yours stand out for would-be customers is often tricky-no more, say we. Your supper will be absolutely impressed at your novelty and consideration when you incorporate wish lanterns, either set free at the end of the meal, or maybe given out to guests as a parting present and you will definitely be suggested by your supper to their friends thus promoting your business and helping it keep running.

Now imagine the happening: your guests are stuffed to the brim and totally happy with their scrumptious meal. You lead them outside for a exquisite show of sky lanterns, as they stand and look at having a glass of wine, praising their hosts.

If you would like to place an order for white or coloured wish lanterns, please get in touch and one of our teams will be happy to help.

Sometimes in poker games, it’s a slow grind to the top, and other times one opponent rises to the top right away. I used to look at these guys with some wicked envy, staring daggers at a stack that I wished was mine, but over time, my attitude changed, because having the big stack early on in a game isn’t always the best situation.

Think back to the last few poker games you played, and try to remember who jumped out to an early lead. When was the last time you saw someone who was the big stack in the beginning of a game ride it all the way to the end?

I’ve been a fairly impatient poker player, always eager to jump ahead, but after sitting at enough games, I’ve noticed that players who jump ahead early on usually face one of two situations; they either make too many aggressive moves that don’t pan out and get knocked out of the poker game early, or they find their way to the chip lead, and slowly (sometimes quickly) lose it as the game progresses. Take the time to build up your stack slowly-it’s not the guy who starts with the most chips that wins, it’s the guy who finishes with the most chips.

Variety in graduation caps
When it’s the time of graduation, everybody remembers caps and gowns for graduation. This graduation dress, that was once everyday uniform worn by students in 12th century, is now seen only during commencement ceremony. As a result, academic regalia are viewed as the symbol of prestige and accomplishment.
The academic regalia consist of mid-calf or ankle length gowns, hood at the back and caps with tassels. All of these sections of the academic regalia follow the color code and style set by the respective university or school. Out of these, the caps or also known as graduation hats are an important component and the academic regalia are incomplete without it. The caps too bear the same color that of the gowns. There is a wide variety in the graduation caps based on the styles and shapes. Here’s a quick guide on the types of graduation caps.
Types of graduation caps:
The most common type of graduation cap comes with a square top and is called as mortarboard or trencher. This kind of cap is adorned with a nylon tassel and a headpiece that helps in keeping the hat at place. The caps are made up of the material used for the gowns. The only exception to this is the caps for the doctor’s degree, which are made up of velvet irrespective of the material of the gowns. This kind of cap can have multiple sides, but 4 sided velvet tam is mostly recommended.
In some of the universities, undergraduates may not wear the caps. However, now the graduation ceremony is not completed without the headgear. Doctorate holders generally wear soft rounded hats known as tam or Tudor bonnets. Other types of hats consist of pileus, Bishop Andrews cap and John Knox cap. Pileus styled hat is worn in the University of Sussex. It is a cylindrical hat made of black velvet. It also consists of a twilled silk button at the center. The Bishop Andrews cap is viewed as the reinvention of academic caps of ancient style. The modern mortarboards are made in the same fashion as of these hats. However, there is a slight difference between the modern academic caps and the Bishop Andrews caps. The later have floppy and soft top and instead of a button and tassel, these have pompom and tump at the center. Usually these are made of black velvet.
The types of graduations hats are also classified on the basis of material these are made from. Students can get cloth graduation caps fabricated from washable cotton. Satin caps look shiny and silky than the cotton hats. The mortarboard of the graduation caps is made from cardboard as well. These kinds of hats are cheaper than the cotton or satin hats.
Generally the colors of the hats (and the academic regalia) depend on the discipline. For example, a graduate of dentistry will wear lilac color, while dark blue is the color for graduates of philosophy. However, students now wear any color, preferably the color code of their university or college. Students can buy these headgears from a cap and gown sale as well.

Here’s some good news for our friends in Canada who play poker online. The timeline for the introduction of provincial government-sanctioned online poker in British Columbia, Canada appears to have shortened, according to an article in the Times Colonist newspaper over the weekend. The report reveals that Rich Coleman, the provincial minister responsible for poker gambling, has announced to the legislature that peer-to-peer provincial online poker will go live in September 2010. Poker lovers will be able to take on one another in government-regulated games which are to coincide with similar moves being made by the provinces of Quebec and the Maritimes. “We have arrangements with them [the other provinces] to do peer-to-peer [online poker] because we’d need the number of players to make it feasible,” Coleman told the newspaper. Arguing against the initiative, opposition politician Shane Simpson pointed out that BC’s Cdn$120-a-week limit on how much players could wager through their B.C. Lottery Corp. account has been escalated by the government to Cdn$10 000. It now appeared that as far as the new poker venture was concerned, the sky was the limit. The government pointed out that it is taking precaustions against problem gambling, with all the usual monitoring at casinos despite recent budget cuts.

How Big is a Continuation Bet? We all know that a continuation bet can be an effective way to raise the overall pot value. We know that a well applied continuation bet is the mark of a good poker player who truly understands strategy. What we do not all know, if the play in online casinos is any indicator, exactly how much a continuation bet should be. Perhaps it is the enigmatic nature of the continuation bet, but it seems like no one has unraveled it enough to bet the same size consistently. Once and for all, here is the official guide to continuation bet size. A continuation bet in pokershould always be 2/3 to 3/4 the total size of the pot. This seems like a shockingly high number, but remember that the ultimate goal of these bets is always to get more money in the pot. They function similarly to a well played bluff in provoking more people to empty their pockets on the table. If you bet lower than the 2/3 or 3/4 standard, you are going to raise suspicion at the poker online table. The other players may start to think that the act that you do not know basic betting guidelines is indicative of a bigger lack of skill. This is like blood in the water for the poker sharks. As soon as you bet to small for a continuation bet, you can expect to see fins on the horizon as the sharks start a feeding frenzy.
