I just wanna make sure that I’m actually getting the protein.

Dymatize Elite Whey Protein Review is one of the top brands when it comes to whey.it does feel lighter than others,probably has less fillers.the protein is definitely there bro.dont worry!

This. I have been using Dymatize ISO-100 for awhile now. It feels light so I can drink it relatively close to lifting with no worries of bloating or fullness. 28g scoop and 25g of it is protein… hard to beat. Do not judge thickness of the drink on its protein level thats a bit ridiculous.

One reassuring note is that the British Government has said that it will not extradite any British person charged in connection with operating a gambling site because they actions would not be a crime in Britain.

In any case, on what planet does the FBI have the right to arrest an executive of a properly licensed and publicly listed company whos business activities are conducted entirely outside of the United States.

What would the US administration say if China started arresting american tourists because of the content of their personal websites ?

To call it a gala event understates the case. The poker bloggers were out in force, perhaps explaining why less than 1/3 of the field was gone after the first hour of play.

However, my favorite hand of the night was this little beauty, both because of what all it entailed, who was at the table and who it was against. Read on …

That’s right. On the button, I hoyed Dr. Pauly and another of the WWdN poker game crew with The Hammer. I made it into about the top 20% of the field, but no hand made me prouder than that one.

That hammer was so mighty that it was fit for use by John Henry.

1. What is the biggest mistake people make at a NL table?
People rely on all-ins “as seen on TV!” far too much. They overlook how to bet properly and sensibly and fail to craft a credible story about their hand in doing so. In the long run, that failure costs them money because they don’t get called on their good hands and get called on their bad ones. That sort of recklessness can also push them out of tournaments quickly if they make that play at the wrong time. I will always remember the time I caught pocket aces and someone ahead of me – who had been stealing blinds all night – went all-in and I called (remember, it ain’t bluffing if you call). They turned over off-suit rags and got annoyed when I told them to get their hands out of the cookie jar (my exact words). Sure enough, only a few hands later, they went all-in again and I had pocket aces AGAIN but this time, having doubled up off them already, I now had them completely covered. That ended their tournament. A more sensible bet might have spared them for a few more hands.

2. What is the biggest mistake people make at a Limit table?
Fixed or Pot? In fixed, I suspect people have a tendency to call it to showdown since the stack consequences are smaller. In pot limit, I suspect it would be a tendency to consistently bet the pot to price people out.

3. Why do you play poker?
Relaxation, a social activity and a mental exercise. I’ve been playing poker since I was a kid – it was mostly five-card draw and seven-card stud then, but I’ve played in Vegas for fun and to pay for trips there, I’ve decimated office games (I used to work with a poor bastard who was such a fish that – even playing limit at .05 minimums and .25 maximums – I would routinely take $20-$30 off him in one night. One lost hand put him on perma-tilt and he wouldn’t stop – he just bet harder … I trash-talked him mercilessly. After about three weeks of taking everyone’s money, I was banned from the game – it didn’t bug me much – my back was starting to hurt from all the change I had to carry home every Friday) and a friend of mine and I used to play no-look poker on overnights at the radio station. It used to be one of the few ways I could interact with my dad without fighting. It’s always been a way for friends of mine and I to get together, have a couple of beers and talk trash to each other for three or four hours while taking each other’s money (read: I take their money).

4. If you weren’t playing poker, what would you be doing?
The same things I do when I’m not playing poker.

5. What is your favorite poker book and why?
Phil Gordon’s “Little Green Book.” Clear, concise … it is a deceptively simple book which explains complex ideas in ways that are easy to understand. It’s a masterpiece of writing about poker, even if some of the concepts aren’t quite as advanced as something Sklansky puts out.

6. Who is your favorite poker player and why?
Depends on the day and which aspect of the game. I like watching Phil Laak for entertainment, Daniel Negreanu for his joy at the table, Annie Duke is amazing to watch because of how skillfully she applies her psychology background to manipulate a table, I love watching Chris Ferguson for his methodical approach (I want to know how he almost NEVER makes a bad decision at the poker table), Phil Gordon for his ability to explain the game, Mike Matusow for good-natured trash talk (as opposed to, say, Tony G.), Lance Funston for pure comedy (I literally cried while watching some of the hands he was in – Norman Chad’s running commentary about his play should be burned to CD and sold in the comedy section of record stores), Barry Greenstein and everyone else who gives part or all of their tournament winnings to charity, John Juanda for his short-stack play and incredibly calm demeanor … the list could go on infinitely.

7. Which poker player do you dislike the most and why?
Tony G. Pure and simple. His outbursts and insults are uncalled for and inappropriate. Matusow toes the line. Tony G. goes so far over it that I doubt he can remember where it was.

8. Do your coworkers know about your blog?
Not this one.

9. What is the most you have won in a cash game or MTT (both live and online)?
Single hand in a cash game? Maybe $20-$30. I still play low limits. MTT? Around $100 or so.

10. What is the most you have lost in a cash game or in one day total (both live and online)?
Cash game – I had a bad run the other day and lost around $12 for the day, but made up the loss with SNG / tournament play.

11. Who was your first poker blog read?
Wil Wheaton.

12. What satisfies you more, your aces holding up for a big pot or a bluff working for a big pot?
The bluff, especially with 7-2 off-suit, the reason this blog exists. Any idiot can win with aces. It takes a special kind of idiot to win with 7-2 off-suit.

13. Why do you blog?
It helps me understand my game better, learn from my mistakes and get insight from others to help improve as a player. If I can explain or teach a concept to someone, I usually understand it fairly well.

14. Do you read blogs from an RSS reader like bloglines or do you visit each blog?
I visit them.

15. Would you rather play poker for a living than do what you currently do for a living?
I’m perfectly happy with poker remaining a pastime.

16. Do you wear a tin foil hat on occasion?
No.

17. If you had to pin it down to one specific trait, what does a great poker player have (or do) that separates them from an average player?
The constant ability / desire to learn and improve their game, regardless of where the learning or improvement comes from.

18. Is Drizz the coolest person on the planet for naming his baby Vegas?
Beats me. No opinion.

19. What is your primary poker goal and are you close to accomplishing it?
I probably should set some goals, huh?

20. What is your primary online site and why?
Lately, Full Tilt. The interface is awesome and the custom tabs are great – no more scrolling through $200 heads up SNGs to get to the ones that are appropriate for my bankroll. I aso really like the last hand feature because it shows screenshots of up to 50 previous hands. In addition, the players seem to be a little better – I’m not playing poker to earn money – I’m playing it to improve as a player. Playing calling stations and fish may be good for my bankroll, but I’d rather improve than cash out.

21. What site do you dislike and why?
I’ve only played on two. I really don’t dislike either.

1. Don’t play the early stages. The first few rounds bring nothing but misery. If you do play, understand that it will suck out if it can and your monster starting hand will likely get cracked. I’ll spare the gory details of bad beat stories, but I’ve had aces cracked by 7-6 off-suit hitting a full house and a big pre-flop bet called by 7-4 off-suit. I just pushed with A-J suited before the flop and was called by 8-2 off-suit which won when a deuce hit the river. That’s the level of donkery we’re talking about.

2. If you must play the early stages, understand that there really is no playing involved. Follow a straight push and pray mantra. If it’s good enough to play in those early to middle stages, it’s good enough to push with since you’ll be getting callers with any paint or ace-rag combination and possibly less. You might consider shading starting hand requirements down to the low end of what you’re comfortable with – suited J-9, J-Q, J-10 off-suit, 9-10 suited, etc. Your opponents will be playing any ace, any king and so forth. They will also be playing hands that are worse, believing that any two cards can win. As long as you’re comfortable with three and four-way action, feel free to roll the dice and hope your cards are live. If you happen to have ace-rag or king-rag, you’re likely to be dominated by someone.

3. Don’t think about your hand. Your decision is push or fold, at least until the field is drastically reduced. Don’t calculate pot odds, don’t calculate implied odds. If you call, someone will go all-in. If you bet, someone will go all-in. The action happens before the flop in all but the most extreme cases, removing all decisions and opportunity for mistakes. Your only thought should be about whether you think your cards are as good or better than what everyone else is holding.

4. Although this may sound contradictory and crazy, TRY to play dominated hands. In general, it means you’ll have at least one live card. It’s almost better if you play the off-suit gapped rags you wouldn’t touch at any other time because it will generally give you two live cards to everyone else’s paint-rag.

Freerolls can be fun as long as you don’t take them too seriously. My best freeroll performances have come when I’m multi-tabling and focusing on another game and only check the freeroll when I have to raise, call or fold. In my best performance, I had become the chip leader simply by pushing and folding and minimizing the window again. I honestly wasn’t paying attention. That says something about the quality of play, but there is also opportunity in freerolls – as long as you don’t mind bad beats. After all, you’re only getting what you pay for.

1. I can’t handle his voice.
2. Whereas some poker commentators try to explain what a player might be thinking while deciding what to do with a hand (see: Lederer, Howard and Gordon, Phil), Kaplan usually states the blindingly obvious (“He’s got a pocket pair!”) and then states the exact opposite of what the player subsequently does (i.e. “He’s gonna have to lay this one down!” [Player goes all-in] “Or maybe not!”).
3. His calls are invariably wrong (see above). Gabe, you’re a lousy commentator, but you’re invited to any home game I ever hold. Bring money. Lots of it.

I swear, it seems like he has never even played the game – not a single variant of it. I’ve read some folks who get irritated by Vince Van Patten breathlessly exclaiming that so-and-so is looking down at a wired pair of 8s! In my opinion, Vince and Mike actually make a good announcing team, but Kaplan? Total car wreck. You could team him with Phil Gordon AND Howard Lederer and he would still be so awful that he might actually decrease their ability to offer insightful commentary on the play, sort of like the way that Chernobyl’s meltdown had effects on surrounding areas.

On the other hand, it might be funny to watch that – I can’t imagine that either one of them would put up with Kaplan’s constant stream of incorrect calls and bumbling asides that have nothing to do with the play.

Welcome back, Kotter. Please go away again. Now.

Yes, I too wish they have bank to bank transfers, however, I set-up a monthly direct transfer from my VanCity account to Achieva’s high daily savings, I am laddering my retirement savings with their best term deposit rates and have full access to my savings with an ATM card and cheques (which I have yet to use).

Their staff have been very helpfull getting started, as I had some questions ragarding their 100% deposit guarantee and I love the fact they deposit $1.00 per month in my account for simply taking an online statement!!!

Hi, I am so happy you all are here.

I have a non-raw question. My Dad asked me if ” circulon cookware ” is
safe. I could not find any info online. He wants to buy a piece of
cookware and it is expensive. He does not want to invest in it, if it
will hurt his health. Thought I would bring the question to all you
aware people. Thanks, Deanna

A good friend of mine just put up a 1500 sq ft steel building with 12′ walls for about $13K, and for our new house we’re looking at one around 2000 sq ft with 14′ walls for about $30K. They can be extremely sturdy — the engineer who stamped my plans rated it in the 165+ MPH wind-loading category. Depending on code requirements in your area, you may be able to get one cheaper, Florida’s hurricane-related rules means they have to use some pretty hefty supports.

Those prices include an insulated roof (you don’t really need to insulate the walls, although it’s normally an option), three garage doors, lights, power, the slab, and construction.

About the only non-steel alternative which is comparable in price is cinder block, and after searching long and hard, the best I could do was still about 10% more expensive for exactly the same amount of space.

Cinder block may be A LOT cooler during the summer than a steel structure. Joker, you live in AZ right? During the summer its just gonna be an oven….the thought of it is even scary. I’d do the cinder block…looks better too. Slap some stucco on the side and a coat of paint and its not an eyesore either.
The cinder block was the plan because our hosue is block with stucco paste. However they have these huge fans that can blow the pubic hair off your b@lls from 100 feet that would do the trick regarding the heat. It will come down to cost and the block is first choice but we will see. I really don’t want to go wood frame route due to the maintenance factor and termite factor. Still, a concrete building is ALWAYS the coolest. Toss in a small AC unit, coat the garage floors, toss in a lift, an commercial air compressor, a whole lot of stainless steel countertops and nice cabinets, TV, couch, satellite TV, and youre gonna forget that you have that other place you currently call home. Its all about cinder block and high ceilings.
