It is important to select the correct class of darts betting, while making use of the poker software. Unlike the traditional format, the online players do not notice the opponents body language at the time of placing the bids, which is an essential factor for the success of the casino games.

With the use of the poker software, it is easy to figure out the reaction times and the highest bid. This software is nothing but a set of programs which are designed by professionals and often used by poker rooms online, so as to facilitate an enhanced poker experience to their users. For a typical beginner, the design is important, since it would help follow the game and also analyse certain movements on the playing table. Do not forget to check the sound effects of the program.

An important factor while determining how to play bingo the right poker software is the playability, which means that the casino games run on a smooth interface, without any major interruptions. The larger poker bonus tournaments and the possibility to play multiple tables at the same time are also considered. The outcomes need to come from statistical analysis of previous games with the best possible accuracy. The player can decide the success of the software, only with proven results and not mere advertisements.

Specific software applications are available, considering a huge array of players.For an instance, if you need help with the Omaha Hi Poker, the software would calculate the odds for you and help you place your next bet. There is a performance tracking tool included with such software packages, which would help you analyse the depth of the online gambling game and your stance along with. There are loads of websites out there, selling poker software packages. On some occasions, the online poker rooms would use their own proprietary software.

South Carolina poker call to action
I am naturally suspicious of people who use phrases like “call to action.” It’s one of those marketeer phrases that makes me cringe. That said
if you are a South Carolina poker player or one who travels here to play in some of the best home games around
you should be interested in this. Moreover
if you live in Greenville
South Carolina and don’t join me on Monday night
you don’t care about poker and your right to play it. Monday March 30 at 5:30pm
South Carolina Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell will be holding two public hearings on a bill that would legalize home poker games and also expand charity gaming (including charity poker tournaments) in South Carolina. I will be there and you should be
too. Here’s why. Every Monday night I play in the best home game I’ve ever known. The action is great
the location is perfect
and the players are great people. The game has been running for years and shows no signs of dying off. There are games like it all over the state–friendly folks who just want to play cards in a safe environment. Under South Carolina law
local law enforcement could come in at any time and cite every player for violating the state’s gaming law. That we’ve never been raided is no great comfort. Even though this is a friendly game where the only rake goes to pay for drinks and snacks
it is still illegal. And if you think the local constabulary won’t bust a game of this sort
you are sadly mistaken. Last month I covered the trial of five people who were playing in a $20 max-buy no-limit hold’em game in Mt. Pleasant. The max rake on the game was 50 cents and the house owner
according to several people who testified
stopped taking rake the moment he had enough to cover the pizza and beer. The players were put on trial and
despite the magistrate’s obvious distaste for the law
convicted. [See the April issue of Bluff Magazine for my article on the trial.] A few years back
I held what was then my annual Bradoween poker tournament. It was not a huge affair. We had 43 people from around the country in town and crowded into my small house. The buy-in was insignificant and I charged no juice. People from other states laughed at me when I took the buy-in cash to my neighbor’s house and left it there. They laughed harder when I programmed my police scanner to listen for a raid and put a couple friends outside to watch the door. If I had watched myself that day
I might have laughed
too. It was ridiculous. It was a game among friends that wasn’t even charging for the BBQ and sweet tea. Still
if the raid on a similar game in Greer (a nearby suburb) a couple months before was any indication
I stood an uncomfortable chance of getting busted. It had happened to one of my friends just weeks before. He’d been playing in a similar game and had been handcuffed in front of his wife and kids. To people in less-antiquated states
this probably seems inconceivable. The simple fact i this: playing any game with cards or dice in South Carolina (read: Monopoly
bridge
poker
etc) is illegal. President Pro Tempore Glenn F. McConnell
a Republican from Charleston County
wants to change that. His bill would decriminalize social gambling (including poker) in a private homes where no rake is taken. It would also allow for charity poker tournaments for churches and charities like the Lions and Elks Clubs. Opponents of the bill suggest that opening the door to kitchen table poker is the equivalent of opening up the state border to the likes of MGM and Harrah’s casinos. Nothing could be farther from the truth. You can read the full text of the bill HERE. The language is specific
more restrictive than even I would like
and would in no way allow for casinos in the Palmetto State. All of the above is to say nothing of the rampant hypocrisy surrounding the debate. South Carolina is a lottery state. The South Carolina Education Lottery program is lauded by many of the same p
eople who fight against decriminalizing home poker games. It’s nearly impossible to go to a convenience store or turn on a TV without seeing an ad for South Carolina scratch-off tickets or Powerball jackpots. Make no mistake: South Carolina is
in fact
a gambling state
as long as the state is taking the rake. McConnell held a hearing on his bill in Charleston last week. If news reports are to be believed
the pro-poker crowd outnumbered the anti-poker folks by 20-1. The Greenville hearing could be a lot different. The Upstate of South Carolina is a great deal more conservative than the Midlands and Low Country. In the past
I’ve seen giant protests over similar issues. Even the legislators are worried about bringing the issue to Greenville. Said Senator Robert Ford to Charleston poker players
“Y’all get a couple of buses. I’m always afraid of Greenville on these kinds of issues.” It’s my hope that we won’t need Charleston poker players to defend our rights to play in Greenville. I know there are hundreds of poker enthusiasts in the Upstate who care about this issue. The question is
do you care enough to show your support in public? You don’t have to speak. You don’t even have to give your name. You only have to show up. It won’t take but a couple hours out of your day. I know poker is a solitary pursuit
but the battle to legalize it is not. Don’t be the kind of player who complains but does nothing to remedy the situation. If you don’t show up
don’t complain about the law. When you finally have Republicans and Democrats agreeing something needs to be done about the antiquated South Carolina gambling laws
you know it’s time to give just a little bit of yourself. So
you coming? Monday
March 30th 5:30-7:30 pm Greenville County Council Chambers 301 University Ridge Greenville
SC 29601 The South Carolina Poker Players Alliance is trying to get a good idea on who might come. If you’d like to RSVP for the hearing
you can do so HERE. If you have any questions

Dead Again
(Posters Warning : CJ told me this blog now has a more diverse focus. I still plan to stick to gambling in some sense. Because I am a problem gambler
this still leaves an immense range of topics about which I can
and will
post. I just felt like writing again.) I saw a wookie bounce off the hoods of three cars. He streaked past me
with clumped hair flapping and woozy knees wobbling
presumably running FROM something that only he could see. With wookies there’s an equal probability that he’s running from : A) The Law. B) His Past. C) His Imagination D) Soap. He’d just run down our aisle when he darted between cars
bouncing off one
into another fender
then off a hood. I thought he got away. I later heard he was slammed down by three cops. For those of you playing at home
that’s “A”. Now
generally I like to get all settled in before wookie watching
but since this is the first Dead tour in years I was prepared for anything. My wife
brother and I got to Greensboro at least 3.5 hours before showtime. Presumably enough time to either drink a dozen beers or wait once in the porta-potty line. The good news is that most of the salesmen were pretty savvy. That’s unusual for a wook. The two most active undercover cops were a big burly guy in a yellow shirt that said “Dead” and another guy
also burly
but at least 6 foot 6 with a crew cut and a blue ‘do rag. I saw douche-rag guy hit up one pipe vendor near our car. Pipe vendor was holding his glass in a black case and strolling down our lane when douche grabs a random pipe and whips out a wad of cash. My car was blasting tunes at the time and I couldn’t hear everything said but I saw douche-rag point several times to the “bowl” portion of this young wooks glass. Wook
again
was savvy. The only part of the conversation I actually heard was wook telling cop
“T
hese are for tobacco man. I could hook you up with THAT if you want.” Cop grabbed his money back from the wook
put the glass back
and stormed away without a word. That’s the gamble that is the Dead lot these days. I remember back in the day
we’d see more of everything than you can imagine ( I mean wow
really
everything) and the cops did nothing. It used to kinda freak me out the way cops would just ignore all the obvious
illegal activity at a GRATEFUL DEAD show. Maybe Jerry was responsible for greasing the locals
but the cops ain’t cool these days and they haven’t been for quite some time. Granted
like the wookies themselves
some people deserve what they get. One kid
a girl who I’d say was about 17
came by our car holding a ticket in her hand. She showed it to me….busted for drinking in the lot. Now
here’s where she got super-extra-mega-dumb. Her girlfriend was in the process of getting busted by yellowshirt guy (who again
could have just worn the uniform for all the subtlety he brought to undercover work) and our kid goes up to give her friend a hug. During the bust. While holding an open beer. Sigh. These are tomorrow’s leaders. So once inside we take totally excellent floor seats just to by the soundboard (Philside) and I continue the now standing bet I have with Pauly. We each pick 3 songs for 1st set opener. 3 more for second set. 3 more for encore. I took $20 off him when Phish opened with Fluffhead at Hampton. We pushed all three for the dead. Here’s the setlist for those who care : Set 1 Music Never Stopped Jack Straw> Estimated Prophet > He’s Gone > Touch of Gray I Need a Miracle > Truckin’> Miracle Set 2 Shakedown Street All Aong The Watchtower Caution Jam Drums Space Cosmic Charlie New Potato Caboose Help on the Way > Slipknot! > Franklin’s Tower Donor Rap Encore: Samson and Delilah Some notes : I love Music Never Stopped but am unable to NOT hear Donna scream OHHHH YEAH at crucial parts of the song. I’m not sure what that means. I’ve never actually SEEN Donna but that’s what years of bootleg cassettes will do for a man. My brother and I really
really
really
really
really
wanted to see Estimated Prophet simply because we like screaming AH NA NA NA NA along with Bobby Weir. We’re amused by simple things. He’s Gone was written long before Jerry died but when you’re touring without him you do know the audience assumes it’s ABOUT him now….right? Miracle was the highlight of the first set. I got stuck in the beer line during Touch of Grey and missed part. In fact
I missed so much that I missed Truckin’. I was so oblivious to it that I PICKED Truckin’ as one of my 3 second set openers with Pauly. It was a dumb bet. I enjoy the song Shakedown Street very much. I also Enjoy All Along the Watchtower and Warren Haynes really shredded it up on this one. Caution was awesome and this is the best thing about having Warren play with the band. He can actually sing the blues. Not the douchey Bobby Red Rooster blues but the good ol’ Pigpen brand. If you get to see the Dead this year
hope that they play this song. During Cosmic Charlie my wife said
“you know the DEAD never played this but all the after-bands (Phil
Ratdog
the Dead) play it all the time. I wonder why.” Then they played New Potato Caboose. Wow. I don’t even own a bootleg version of this soon. I couldn’t remember the name until it was half-over. I do remember that “touching makes the flesh cry out loud.” That counts for something. The band started the Help>Slip>Frank at 11:30. That’s 4 hours in. My brother and I assumed all day
it being Easter and all
that we’d see either Promised Land (my guess) or Greatest Story Ever Told (his). Samson and Delilah is what we got. C’est la vie. This is the kind of crap I blog about now. It did contain some gambling. That counts.

Game Review: Wii Sports Resort
My shoulder hurts. It’s probably the number one reason why I fi
nd Wii Sports Resort to be one of the more realistic sports games I’ve ever played. The pain I feel in my shoulder is similar to the pain I experience after a round of frolf. Is that sad? Disc golf is just one of the two dozen plus games offered on Wii Sports Resort. There’s bowling
golf
ping pong
archery
canoeing
water skiing
and more. And most of the games offer multiple variations. The key to the game is the Wii Motion plus. It’s a piece of hardware that connects to the bottom of the traditional remote. It’s probably what the Wii was supposed to be when it was initially released
but the technology wasn’t there yet. Now
instead of just tracking motion up and down and left and right
the game can sense when you turn your wrist. This makes games like frolf and bowling and ping pong just about as realistic as they get. If you’ve got a Wii
I’d suggest you get this game. But if you do
be sure to the get the new version of the game that comes with the second Wii Motion Plus. For someone reason
the first release of the game included just one
which didn’t make much sense. You can order the new version on Amazon for about 70 bucks. It’s worth it. And my next Wii purchase? I’d expect it to be the New Super Mario Bros. I’ll let you know how that game plays as soon as I get my hands on it!

NCAA Tourney Bracket Revealed Early!!
Why wait for the tournament selection committee? I’ve got your 65 teams right here. Joe Lunardi may be ESPN’s Bracketologist
but he’s not the best in the biz. I now present the 65 teams headed to the Big Dance courtesy my Dad. Here is his email to me in its entirety (I’ve updated with MSU’s win): “This may be my worst projection in the last 10 years. Why? Mediocrity! My process involves looking at data that allows me to almost compare blind resumes. So when I finish
I’m sometimes surprised at the outcome. This year I am devastated. Of the “bigs
” the Big East is the class while the Big 10 is common. My dance card – 7 Big East teams and 8 Big Ten teams. I refuse to put San Diego St in my bracket when their signature win out of conference is CSU-Northridge. So
here we go…” AMERICAN EAST – Binghamton (14) ACC – UNC (1)
Duke (2)
Wake (3)
FSU (4)
Clemson (6)
Maryland (10)
BC (11) ATL. SUN – E Tenn St (15) ATL 10 – Xavier (5)
Dayton (8)
Temple (12) BIG EAST – Pitt (1)
L-Ville (1)
UConn (2)
Nova (4)
Syracuse (4)
WVU (6)
Marq (7) BIG SKY – Portland St (14) BIG South – Radford (15) BIG 10 – Mich St (2)
Purdue (5)
Illinois (7)
Ohio St (8)
Michigan (9)
Wisc (10)
Minn (11) BIG 12 – Okla (2)
Missouri (3)
Kansas (3)
Okla St (5)
Texas (7)
Texas AM (9) BIG WEST – CS Northridge/Pacific (16) COLONIAL – VCU (12) CONF USA – Memphis (1) HORIZON – Butler (9)
Cleve St (13) IVY – Cornell (15) MAAC – Sienna (12) MAC – Buffalo/Akron (13) MEAC – Morgan St/Norfolk St (16) MVC – Creighton (10)
N. Iowa (12) MWC – Utah (4)
BYU (9) NORTHEAST – Bob Morris (15) OVC – Morehead St (16) PAC 10 – Wash (3)
UCLA (6)
Ariz St (6)
Cal (8)
USC (11) PATRIOT – American U (14) SEC – Tenn (5)
LSU (8)
Miss. St. (11) SOUTHERN – UT Chat (17) SOUTHLAND – St F Austin/UTSA (13) SWAC – Ala St/Jackson St (17) SUMMIT – N Dakota St (14) SUN BELT – W. Kentucky (13) WCC – Gonzaga (7) WAC – Utah St/Nevada (10) Luckbox’s thoughts: UConn is a better #1 seed than Memphis. Who has Memphis beat this year? Coasting through Conference USA just doesn’t compare to what the Huskies did in the Big East. Should Duke beat FSU
they could get the 4th #1 seed (along with UNC
Pitt and Louisville). Mich. St. and Oklahoma both played their way out of a #1 seed. I also think Florida played its way out of the tourney by failing to make even the semis of the SEC tourney. The SEC gets juts two teams unless Miss. St. upsets Tennessee. That said
I haven’t done enough checking myself to see who might be a better candidate. UPDATE: Miss. St. did
in fact
upset Tennessee so they’re in and Florida is out.

Since We’re Talking About Frolf…
I have a scabbed over gash that runs from the top of my left triceps down past the elbow. The left hand has a few nasty scratches that make it look like I lost a catnip fight with a panther. My special “frolf shoes”
actually Teva trail shoes
are so badly torn I haven’t even tried to wear them in a week. Plus
I had to buy a new skeeter. Still the worst part of my past week was the following admonition from my wife : “I don’t think you should play alone anymore. If (Otis) can’t play
you should just go to the gym instead. It’s too dangerous.” She actually said that! I’m so ashamed. I started playing frolf regularly
by which I mean almost every day
about 8 years ago. That first initial infatuation lasted a good two years before taking a 5 year snooze. Then
last summer
Otis and I rediscovered what we loved about it in the first place : It gets us out of the house. It gets us outside. It gets us away from our wonderful and better-than-we actually-deserve wives. We can pretend we’re competitive without
you know
skills or talent. I’ve played pretty much every day for the past year. But even a true love needs a fresh look
a new position to try
a fresh approach. After playing
almost exclusively at “Timmons Park” we we thrilled to get a new course out in Greer. So without further yammering nonsense
here’s my take on the new “Century Park” course and details of my latest frolf humilation. Now that the leaves are coming in
the course is looking good. The city of Greer had to redesign the course last year and brought Innova in for the course architecture. That led to a complete clear-cutting of all the underbrush. Before the spring it had a real zombie apocalypse feel. If you’ve read Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road”
this is the landscape you pictured. Now with some leaves on the trees it looks like the apocalypse…with chlorophyll. That’s an improvement in my book. The layout is actually quite superb
a mixture of tricky elevation changes
long bombs
and at least a few relatively easy birdies. Notable are : – The third hole which is over 400 feet and has a tough uphill lie that begins about midway. – The 7th
which should be the easiest in Greenville but has caused me to develop a frightening mental block. There is only one tree to hit. I always hit it. – The 10th which lies to the right of the teepad with that path obstructed by heavy trees. It’s a pretty easy birdie for a lefty who can get a good long range fade but is tricky for a righty who has trouble with a turnover disc. – The 11th is the hardest hole in the area IMHO. Otis’ too. 397 feet with a steep uphill and some pretty dense tree obstructions about midway. A par here is very impressive. – The 15th. Notable because
while long
it is not a particularly difficult shot. Somehow
this is an Otis mental block hole. – The 16th. A case could be made that this is actually the easiest hole on the course. I
however
have now lost two midrange discs here…including my daughter’s “Skeeter”. Last week I threw a fade shot that I thought would curve into the basket. I had the range right but actually pulled it a bit and caught the side of a tree. That sent my skeeter a good 50 feet away and at a 90 degree angle from the hole. When I crossed the creek and found my disc
I found that there is actually a SECOND creek perpendicular to the first. My disc was beyond a good 20 feet of dense bramble on the opposite bank. After sloooowly stepping through the thorns
I got to the near bank and devised a retreval plan : Step down about two feet onto the near bank with my right foot. Quick step with left foot across 2 feet width of creek to far bank. Scoop Skeeter. Push back onto right foot. Climb out. Resume play. In my defense
a strategy much like this has worked thousands of times before. Instead it went bad fast. When I stepped down
my right foot sank a good 8 inches in the mud. When I lunged forward it wouldn’t come loose. I tried to re-adjust and threw my weight backwards
my arms flailing in a spiral. With my left hand I reached backward for something to grab and stop my fall. With my right I tried to break my fall into the creek. The left hand found something to grab. A thornbush. It ripped my hand open (my throwing hand no less) and I finally let go falling entirely into the mud. The mud was so soft now that I couldn’t stand to get out. I had to find some sturdy sticks nearby to get solid footing for the climb from the creek. When I did
my right shoe stayed behind. I had to get on my stomach and pull it out. I left the skeeter behind. Now I’m not allowed to play alone. And
sadly
this is my SECOND major frolf injury of the year. This one
luckily
was without witnesses. The last was in a competitive tournament. /Frolf Content

Old news: Annie Duke’s boytoy boinks boozy Judas
The man sat at the bar under a cloud of tight curly hair. It was as if the hair thunderhead had sprung a storm and the downpour produced a guy with bad pickup lines. Beside him sat a pretty woman. She wasn’t drinking for fun. Her order–shots and beer–had purpose. The drunker she got
the more she wanted to run naked in the hair storm. I’ll be honest
Joe Reitman’s hair has always freaked me out. Reitman looked like was wearing make-up. He threw out some line like
“If I order you one drink
I get to talk to you for ten minutes. If I order you four drinks I get you for an hour and half. If I order you more
I get you all night.” That’s not a direct quote. It wasn’t recorded for posterity
because the next thing anyone knew Reitman’s pants were around his ankles and he was humping the girl known as Gayle in the parking lot. His bad pick-up line wasn’t as bad as it seemed. He probably didn’t notice the girl was about to cry. But
be honest. If somebody was pumping on you and letting that hair bounce all around your head and shoulders
you’d probably cry
too. When I saw it happen
I turned to my wife. “I think that’s Annie Duke’s boyfriend!” I said. My wife snored. *** I guess I don’t keep up with pop culture well enough to know the occupations of pro players’ bed buddies. That is
I didn’t know Reitman was an actor. What I’d just seen was one of his breakout performances
this time as “Bar Customer” in the 2005/2006 Showtime series “Sleeper Cell.” You might also have seen him in such roles as “Hippie boy
” “Radio Station Manager” and “Regulator 2.” I don’t say any of the above to poke fun at Reitman. He has been married to and presumably slept with Shannon Elizabeth. Just because he played “Freshman” on 90210 doesn’t mean he isn’t 100 times cooler than I am. I only bring it up because I’d honestly forgotten Reitman’s name. I’d seen him around Vegas and always with Duke. As I struggled in vain to remember the guy’s real name
I wondered how Reitman would feel about me Googling him as “Annie Duke’s boyfriend.” I had to know
though. I’ve recently been watching the new-to-me “Sleeper Cell” on DirecTv’s 101 network. In this episode
the boozy bitch was about to turn on her boyfriend. That Retiman’s “Bar Customer” sealed the deal was almost poetic. That is
he put his career on hold to make sure we would have Shannon Elizabeth as a star. He deserved a little somethin’ somethin’ for his time. In fact
he also got Duke in the settlement and that should’ve been enough. I’ve heard no rumor of their break-up
so presumably they are happy. I think we all wish them the best. I’m simply happy I now have Reitman’s name locked permanently in my memory. Never again will I think of him as Shannon’s ex or Annie’s boyfriend. Now
he will be Joe. Or Joseph. Or Mr. Reitman. Or
after the 2009 release of “Radio Free Albemuth
” as “Prisoner #1.”

Johnny Cash Rises From Grave to Kill American Idol Contestant
Okay
so perhaps that’s a slight exaggeration in the headline. I’m guessing Johnny Cash merely rolled over in his grave when he heard Adam Lambert’s bastardization of the classic “Ring of Fire.” Had Jaoquin Phoenix not already gone crazy
maybe he would have rushed the stage to stop what millions of Americans witnessed last night. Instead
we get one of the most horrifying performances in American Idol history. If you missed it
thank your lucky stars. If you saw it
I hope you’ve managed to block it from your mind. I’ll keep the rest of my American Idol thoughts short going into tonight’s elimination. Looks like one of the ladies is leaving tonight. If it’s Megan Joy Corker
so long. If it’s either Alexis Grace or 16-year old Allison Iraheta
than the judges will have a difficult c
hoice on whether to use their one save. Matt Giraud continues as my favorite after another strong performance last night with Danny Gokey close behind. I was glad to see Anoop Desai bounce back like he did. As you can guess
I’m fairly certain the men will extend their lead in American idol finalists. Thus far
there have been 8 male and 6 female finalists. When this season is over
it will be 10 male finalists… and the men will tie the women in total winners at 4 a piece.

Poker legalization hearing in Greenville
SC

The Poker Players Alliance has just sent out notice of a poker legalization hearing in Charleston and Greenville
SC this month. From the e-mail: Playing poker in the privacy of your own home is a crime in South Carolina thanks to a ridiculous outdated state law signed 209 years ago. Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell will be holding two public hearings to discuss S535 a bill that would legalize home poker games and also expand charity gaming (including charity poker tournaments) in the state. The first public hearing will be March 23rd in North Charleston City Hall and the second on March 30th in the Greenville County Council Chambers
both start at 5:30pm. I plan to attend the March 30 hearing in Greenville. The PPA is looking for a large turn-out of pro-poker folks. Details: Monday
March 30th 5:30-7:30 pm Greenville County Council Chambers 301 University Ridge Greenville
SC 29601 I’ll likely have more on the subject in the coming days. In the meantime
if you’d like to RSVP for the hearing
you can do so HERE. To read the full text of the bill
