Review of poker hand rating::does 4 of a kind beat a straight flush








In               my               book               there               is               nothing               better               than               a               classic               movie               featuring               the               Hollywood               stars               of               yesteryear.

Why               do               I               make               such               an               outrageous               claim?

It               is               because               I               am               not               in               to               all               of               the               gratuitous               sex,               overt               violence               and               blood               and               gore               that               are               so               much               a               part               of               today's               films.

As               naïve               as               it               may               be,               I               want               to               be               entertained,               amused,               tickled,               touched,               or               moved               by               the               movies               I               watch.

I               don't               care               to               be               disgusted,               annoyed,               angry,               disillusioned               or               sickened.

It's               that               simple!
               With               the               rash               of               bad               films               that               Hollywood               has               put               out               in               recent               years,               I               find               myself               watching               more               and               more               of               the               classic               films.

The               one               I               am               about               to               review               was               never               a               blockbuster               or               even               a               sleeper.

On               the               other               hand,               it               is               fun,               funny,               sophisticated               and               entertaining.
               The               name               of               the               film               is               "Designing               Woman"               and               is               stars               Lauren               Bacall               and               Gregory               Peck.

Bacall               plays               Marilla               Brown,               a               fashion               designer               who               always               looks               like               she               walked               out               of               the               pages               of               Vogue               magazine.
               Peck               plays               sports               writer,               Mike               Hagen.

He's               a               no               nonsense,               tell               it               like               it               is               reporter               who               doesn't               think               about               the               consequences               of               his               words               when               he               sometimes               should.
               The               two               meet               quite               by               accident               one               evening               after               Mike               wins               some               money               at               the               racetrack.

He               offers               to               buy               everyone               drinks,               including               the               lovely               Marilla.

But               then               he               proceeds               to               get               drunk               and               lose               track               of               his               time,               his               money               and               himself.
               The               next               morning,               when               he               runs               into               Marilla               at               the               pool,               he               doesn't               remember               her.

She               takes               it               matter               of               factly               and               simply               hands               him               $700;               the               money               he               had               given               her               to               hold               in               order               to               keep               himself               from               blowing               the               whole               wad.
               One               thing               leads               to               another               and               before               long               it               becomes               obvious               the               two               are               in               love.

They               get               married               and               return               to               New               York               to               resume               their               respective               careers.

That               is               when               the               real               fun               begins.
               Mike               learns               that               his               recent               columns               about               a               fighter               promoter               in               league               with               the               mob               have               put               his               life               in               jeopardy.

At               first               he               tries               to               ignore               it               but               it               soon               becomes               obvious               that               he               cannot.
               The               real               fun;               however,               begins               when               the               two               worlds               of               the               bride               and               groom               try               to               come               together.

Mike               likes               poker               with               his               cronies.

Marilla               prefers               the               company               of               vivacious               entertainment               folk.

The               two               mix               like               oil               and               water,               which               makes               for               some               lively               moments               on               screen.
               Then               there               is               the               old               girlfriend               Lori               Shannon               (played               by               Delores               Gray).

The               jilted               actress               soon               becomes               a               part               of               Marilla's               crowd.

Although,               Mike               denies               it,               Marilla               can               see               that               he               and               Lori               have               some               kind               of               connection.

She               worries               it               might               not               be               an               old               one               and               sets               out               to               find               the               answers.
               Mike               is               afraid               of               hurting               his               beloved               bride               so               he               does               what               men               often               do               in               that               situation               --               he               lies.

But               every               lie               is               evident               to               Marilla,               which               makes               her               even               more               suspicious.
               All               of               these               plots               eventually               merge               to               make               for               a               hilarious               romp               that               the               audience               gets               to               enjoy               right               along               with               the               players               themselves.

In               particular,               the               ending               sequence               is               absolutely               hilarious.
               Bacall               remains               true               to               herself.

She               is               chic,               glamorous,               beautiful               and               cool.

Yet,               she               has               masterful               comedic               timing               and               a               face               that               registers               every               emotion               with               elegance               and               grace.
               Peck,               who               isn't               well               known               for               his               comedic               talents,               manages               to               pull               off               a               tour               de               force               performance               nonetheless.

He               is               charming,               witty               and               sexy               without               losing               his               edge               of               aloof               restraint.
               Gray               is               good               in               the               role               of               the               ex-girlfriend,               but               not               great.

This               would               have               been               a               perfect               role               for               someone               with               more               comedic               charm               like               Betty               Grable               or               even               Lucille               Ball.
               Director               Vincente               Minnelli               gets               great               performances               out               of               his               actors               across               the               board.

He               also               milks               every               word               of               the               script               written               by               George               Wells.
               "Designing               Woman"               is               a               good               film               but               it               isn't               a               great               one.

It               doesn't               have               to               be.

It               fulfills               its               goal,               which               is               to               entertain               and               there               isn't               a               thing               wrong               with               that.

I               give               it               three               stars.
               RATING               SCALE               USED:               
               0               =               A               stinker.

Don't               waste               the               money!


               1               =               Bad.

Rent               it               at               your               own               risk.


               2               =               Below               average.

See               only               if               you               have               time               to               kill.


               2.5               =               Average.

A               toss               up.


               3               =               Good.

Worth               a               looksee.


               3.5               =               Very               Good.

I               recommend               it.


               4               =               Excellent.

Don't               miss               it!


               4.5               =               Outstanding.

What               are               you               waiting               for?


               5               =               Destined               to               become               a               classic.

You               will               be               sorry               if               you               don't               see               it.

    SPLIT               POT               VARIATIONS               
                   Are               you               looking               for               a               new               split               pot               variation               to               play               at               your               home               game?

    Many               play               high/low,               High               Chicago,               or               Low               Chicago.

    How               about               a               different               one               from               these               standards               though.

    Have               the               pot               split               between               the               winner               of               the               poker               hand,               and               the               person               with               the               most               "spots"               in               their               hole               cards.

    Only               the               players               who               have               not               folded               at               the               end               of               the               hand               can               be               eligible               to               win               the               split               pot.

    To               determine               who               has               the               most               "spots"               in               their               hole               cards,               add               the               face               values               of               each               person's               hole               cards               to               get               a               total.

    Aces               count               as               one,               and               face               cards               count               as               zero.

    Whoever               has               the               highest               total               splits               the               pot               with               the               poker               hand               winner,               if               the               poker               hand               winner               has               the               highest               total               of               spots               in               the               hole               they               win               the               entire               pot.
                   STEAL               YOUR               OPPONENT'S               CARDS               
                   How               about               a               game               where               you               can               play               defense               and               offense               at               the               same               time?

    Play               standard               seven               card               stud               to               start               out.

    Here               is               the               twist               though.

    If               a               player               is               dealt               a               face               up               heart,               they               then               can               take               any               other               player's               face               up               card               they               wish.

    They               keep               both               the               heart               they               were               dealt               and               the               card               they               stole.

    The               player               who               has               their               face               up               card               stolen               does               not               get               it               replaced.

    Even               if               none               of               the               face               up               cards               help               you               at               the               time,               it's               always               good               to               steal               one               when               you               are               dealt               a               heart               that               you               think               your               opponent               will               be               using               for               their               hand.

    This               game               can               have               a               lot               of               twists               and               turns               in               it.
                   SEVEN               CARD               STUD               VARIATIONS               
                   How               about               a               couple               games               that               change               the               rank               of               hands               slightly.

    The               first               is               Sevens               take               all.

    This               is               usually               played               in               a               standard               seven               card               stud               game               with               no               wild               cards.

    The               rank               of               the               winning               hands               and               the               play               is               exactly               the               same               as               seven               card               stud               except               for               a               single               twist.

    The               highest               ranking               hand,               even               higher               than               the               royal               flush,               is               a               pair               of               sevens!

    Another               variation               my               friends               and               I               like               to               play               on               seven               card               stud               without               wild               cards               is               one               where               four               card               flushes               and               four               card               straights               rank               in               the               list               of               hands.

    These               come               into               ranking               in               between               a               pair               and               two               pairs.

    A               four               card               straight               will               defeat               a               pair,               and               a               four               card               flush               will               defeat               both               a               pair               and               a               four               card               straight.

    Both               of               these               four               card               hands               though               are               defeated               by               any               hand               two               pair               or               higher.

    This               helps               eliminate               the               dullness               of               pairs               winning               hands               in               seven               card               stud.
                   Hopefully               you               will               get               a               chance               to               play               one               or               a               few               of               these               games               as               your               next               poker               night               with               your               friends.

    Remember,               design               the               choice               of               games               around               the               games               that               your               friends               enjoy               playing.

    This               will               ensure               that               everyone               has               a               fun               night               whether               they               win               or               lose.

    Of               course               though               it's               always               more               fun               to               win.

    Review of poker hand guide::Does the Yu Gi Oh Card Relinquished Need a Ritual Card to ...








    Texas               Holdem               is               a               poker               game               that               has               single               handedly               been               responsible               for               increasing               the               popularity               of               poker               in               the               past               few               years.

    The               reason               is               the               World               Series               of               Poker               and               other               similar               events               with               television               coverage.

    The               media               coverage               of               The               World               Series               of               Poker               and               other               events               have               been               great,               but               at               the               same               time               might               have               overexposed               the               game.

    My               friends               and               I               when               we               get               together               to               play               poker               on               our               poker               nights               are               always               looking               for               a               new               way               to               play               the               game               as               the               standard               has               gotten               a               little               stale.

    Would               you               like               a               different               version               though               of               it?

    The               version               we               play               is               very               similar,               but               have               a               minor               twist.

    The               game               will               still               end               up               with               having               two               hole               cards               for               every               player               and               five               shared               or               "community               cards".

    The               order               of               the               deal               and               betting               is               slightly               different               though               with               the               version               that               we               play.

    To               start               the               game               we               deal               one               face               up               card               to               the               community               area.

    There               is               no               betting               at               this               point.

    Then               each               player               receives               their               first               hole               card.

    After               the               first               hole               card               is               deal               to               each               player               there               is               a               round               of               betting.
                   After               that               round               of               betting,               two               more               community               cards               are               dealt,               and               there               is               a               round               of               betting               at               that               point.

    The               next               card               that               is               dealt               is               each               player's               final               hole               card,               followed               by               a               round               of               betting.

    At               this               point               there               are               three               community               cards               on               the               table               and               each               player               has               their               hole               cards.

    The               fourth               or               "turn"               card               (as               in               Texas               Holdem)               is               dealt               then               to               the               community               area               with               betting,               followed               by               the               fifth               and               final               community               card               knowns               as               the               "river"               card               just               like               Texas               Holdem               with               a               final               round               of               betting,               and               the               determination               of               the               winning               hand.
                   There               are               the               same               number               of               rounds               of               betting               as               in               Texas               Holdem,               but               the               difference               is               the               information               each               player               has               at               the               timing               of               the               betting               rounds.

    We               have               found               that               this               version               of               the               game               tends               to               keep               more               people               in               the               game               longer               than               the               traditional               version               of               Texas               Holdem.

    Hopefully               you               will               find               this               version               of               Texas               Holdem               as               something               you               will               add               to               your               rotation               of               games               at               your               next               poker               night               with               your               friends.

    At               least               give               it               a               shot               and               see               what               you               think               of               it               as               a               game               to               add               a               spice               to               the               standard               Texas               Holdem               version.
