text: Four Languages • A Swiss guy visiting Sydney, Australia, pulls up at a bus stop where two locals are waiting. "Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks. The two Aussies just stare at him. "Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he tries. The two continue to stare. "Parlare Italiano?" No response. "Hablan ustedes Espanol?" Still nothing. The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first Aussie turns to the second and says, "Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language." "Why?" says the other. "That guy knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good."

Volumes II and III of this series on the results of the major excavations there have already been published. Now Part I of Volume I offers a general introduction to the site with chapters on the history and character of its excavation seen within the context of earlier archaeological exploration of the Mesara Plain and specifically in the Kommos area (Joseph W. Shaw) and studies on the geomorphology (John A. Gifford), the flora (C. Thomas Shay and Jennifer M. Shay, with Katherine A. Frego and Janusz Zwiazek) and the fauna (David S. Reese, with contributions by Mark J. Rose and Sebastian Payne) of the Kommos region, and ancient and modern land use (Michael Parsons, with John A. Gifford), A catalogue and analysis of finds from a foot survey in the Kommos area are included (Richard Hope Simpson, with Philip P. Betancourt, Peter J. Callaghan, Deborah K. Harlan, John W. Hayes, Joseph W. Shaw, Maria C. Shaw, and L. Vance Watrous). A final chapter by Harriet Blitzer treats Minoan implements and industries. This excavationwas conducted by the University of Toronto and the Royal Ontario Museum under the auspices of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.

text: How to close Apps in Windows 8? "There are 3 ways you can close metro apps in the new Windows 8: 1. If you have a touch screen tablet or laptop, touch your finger on the top of the screen and drag it all the way to the bottom. It will minimize and move the app from your way. 2. If you don't have a touch screen but you use a mouse, do the same with the mouse. Point your mouse on the top of the screen and drag it all the way down. When you point the mouse to the top of the screen, you can see the cursor is changing. 3. Press ALT key + F4. This will still work just like the traditional Windows programs. 4. The killer option: use ALT+CTRL+DEL and kill the app using the task manager. Also, some sources have indicated that the ALT + F4 option may not reliably work to close metro applications in Windows 8. However, so far it works fine, even though Microsoft may change this later releases. Note that the traditional Windows applications will continue to have close and minimize buttons. You can close them the way you are familiar with."

Glad you guys showed up! I was beginning to think I was all alone in here.
Here's another set to keep the "variety" alive. SOLID Carbon Fiber grips. This is the first time I've worked with this material. It's expensive and ITCHY! :D The finished look is very cool though, having a great depth and a constantly changing look as it moves. I really like the way it stands out against a stainless frame! I bought a a whole sheet of it, so I'm sure there will be more pics of the material to come.
Enjoy the pics, even though they don't capture the material very well.

In the complaint filed by Swar at the police station, she narrated the horror faced by her.
"I saw a traffic constable standing across the road and called him... Instead of helping (me), he started shouting at me and pushed me hard, physically touching my arms, shoulders and back in a very rough manner. The policeman asked me to park my car in a corner. While I was parking the car, the two-wheeler rider was about to escape... I myself stopped the two-wheeler rider from escaping... The policeman physically dragged me and punched me in my arms and threw me away from the bike...," Swar wrote in the complaint.
"Very soon a crowd of around 30-40 men had surrounded me and made sexual gestures at me... I started taking pictures with my mobile phone and they all laughed telling me that they would take off their clothes for me...," the complaint further reads.
The noted theatre personality has filed two FIRs about the incident. She said the crowd hurled lewd and racist comments and also abused her. The policeman who she had turned to for help allegedly shouted back at her. The victim has filed FIRs against a motorcycle-rider who hit her car and also against people who allegedly assaulted, sexually intimidated and harassed her, including the traffic constable. The incident reportedly took place after the motorbike hit her car.
Police said they have identified the two-wheeler rider who rear-ended the car of the Manipuri playwright.

Tarot Predictions for October 2014
Aries – The Sun – Upright
Indications: The Sun Card, as the name suggests, is a good, happy Card to find in a reading. Positive development, positive outcomes, sunshiny happy days, achievement, fullfilment of personal goals, gains and joys – all and more are indicated on appearance of this Card. The Sun indicates that you may be nearing a moment in future, where you will be given the potential to change your life – a big opportunity or moment of change. Your innate sense of confidence shall help you radiate a warmth, cosy energy, which will make you a joy to have around people. Your physical energy and vitality too shall be at an all time high.
Lesson: Say 'yes' to life! The Sun Card urges you to move on, embrace life and see the illuminated path that lies ahead of you. It's a Card showing you the power of optimism. The message here is – you have managed to reach till here, and the path ahead shall be only better now. Things are going to get better, a lot better! This Card also shows you the value of good health and simple pleasures that life offers. Indulge and be grateful!
Taurus – The Strength – Upright
Indications: The Card of Strength is not about the physical strength. It, in fact, indicates a quiet strength that comes from within, from the innocence of soul and an ability to tame worldly desires. Unlike the Chariot, to which the Strength is quite close in its interpretation, this (Strength) Card represents the indomitable power of the human spirit to meet any challenge and overcome any hurdle. Appearance of this in Upright implies success, will and determination – a happy time, when you will have stamina backed by zest, and drive backed by focus and perseverance.
Lesson: You may be feeling quite strong, yet this is a time to forge ahead only with composure and compassion. In a Tarot reading, the Strength shows you the way to connecting with both your inner and outer strength. It asks you to find the confidence to be strong, assertive, persevering with compassion and patience. You will need to offer love and patience, in order to tame the tendencies and people similar to the Lion in this Card. Another main lesson of this beautiful Tarot Card is that raw humane emotions and impulses need to be overcome and vanquished, if one is to attain the peaks of spirituality.
Gemini – The Ten of Cups – Upright
Indications: Be happy, for the ten flowing cups in this Card indicate happy times, good fortune, a marriage, a proposal or its mutual acceptance, fulfillment in a relationship, happiness in the realm of love and family. Stop and smell the roses! This Card is about the perfect 10! Appreciate what life has brought you, be grateful and say a huge 'thank you'. If you are at the beginning of a new relationship, this Card spells glory and true love. In one word, this Card indicates harmony. You will have clear personal beliefs and shall be at peace with self too, around this time, says this Card.
Lesson – This beautiful Card urges you to open yourself to the bounties of life and chase your dreams and beliefs. You have the power, and now you also have the cosmos by your side, says this Card. You should also learn to listen to and trust your instincts. And, since you may have all this abundance – in terms of loving and affectionate human emotions – surrounding you, take time out to slow down and bask in the glory of it all. After all, it's not always that we get such lovely chances.
Cancer – The Two of Swords – Upright
Indications: People are wary of Swords Cards appearing in readings. Yet, the Two of Swords is not a Card to be scared of. Yes, it shows turmoil and conflict, but it also indicates a call for balance and truce, and most importantly, an understanding of the stalemate that needs breaking/ overcoming. The Card also indicates a new beginning – not far on the horizon. You may find yourself at a crossroads, confused about making a difficult decision, yet you will not be forced to take the decision at a short notice. The Card also implies indecision or an uneventful time, with an impending decision waiting to be taken.
Lesson: The Two of Swords calls for breaking a stalemate, getting over and past a stuck situation and working to regain a happy sense of balance. When this Card appears in your reading, you may not find much happening in your life – yet, you would know, at the back of mind, that a situation or setting needs to be changed. Move on! However, be diplomatic and weigh your pros and cons carefully. You may also have to accept a situation, where there is no clear 'winner or loser'. Accept and adapt, says this Card.
Leo – The Death – Upright
Indications: The Death Card indicates a time of sweeping changes and significant transformation. One of the most feared Card of the Tarot Deck, the Death Card also symbolises endings, beginnings, transformation, renewal of life and stuck situations, ending of an old way of life or a major phase and a vast sea of new opportunities and possibilities. Many Tarot practitioners consider this Card as one of the most positive and useful Cards appearing in a reading. You may find yourself at a phase in your life, where you will need to shove and push aside the past for good to embrace the future. This shall be a time focused at removing excesses, purging painful memories and weeding out unnecessary stuff.
Lesson: Give up the old and ring in the new! Welcome the changes, however difficult they may be, at this time, as they shall ultimately act as positive and cleansing forces in your life. You need to get rid of the unhealthy attachments and ways of life, in order to grab the new opportunities soon to come your way. You must close one door to open another, brighter one, says this Card. Do not resist the endings or changes, and you shall be fine. Time to open yourself to a more satisfying, holistic way of life – beyond outgrown, outdone, outdated situations.
Virgo – The Hanged Man – Upright
Indications: Spiritual enlightenment or the need for it, time to meditate and break out of old patterns, ultimate surrender, suspended action and a time to stop pushing and trying – the Hanged Man, like its imagery, says this and more. This Card also indicates a time of transition and self sacrifice. Given the appearance of this Card, you may even find yourself in a state of limbo, restricted, unable to take concerted action, maybe even stressed or unwell. This Card also represents martyrdom or sacrifice.
Lesson: Sometimes, it's best to not do anything – it makes way for more attractive opportunities to emerge. Reflect, analyse and weigh your options. Take a break, if possible. Or, at least, buy some time and put off taking any major actions or decisions, as of now. Surrender to your present, and allow for an emotional release from stuck situations. Display your vulnerable side to the world, let go of control and see how it changes people's attitude towards you. If a situation asks you to sacrifice your self-controlling tendencies, your ego, let go!
Libra – The Queen of Pentacles – Upright
Indications: The Queen of Pentacles Tarot Card is a happy Card. It represents a 'mother like, female' influence that is both capable and caring at once. Pentacles are a symbol representing security, stability and wealth. Thus, this Card represents a time when there would be a good amount of material stability as well as a well-oiled, well managed wordly life, where most needs are cared for. It also indicates an influence of such a nurturing, dedicated, compassionate and independent woman in an individual's life.
Lesson: This Card indicates a need for self-dependence, rather independence, in order to achieve and maintain this balanced and financially secure status. The Queen of Pentacles represents prosperity and security. And, it teaches the person to be more giving and responsible towards others and the society. It is the time to reap and enjoy the fruits of your labour, but it is also a time, when you have to be grateful and appreciative of people and influences who helped you reach this happy, satisfying place, says Ganesha.
Scorpio – The Ten of Swords – Upright
Indications: Powerlessness, destruction, failure and backstabbing are the most usual associations of this Card. Like many Cards of the Swords deck, the Ten also indicates a turmoil, pain and negativity, yet like all other Swords Card, it also implies new beginnings on the horizon and a lurking positivity. Under the influence of this Card, many of you may feel like a 'victim'. Endings, pain, loss, release all of which point at new beginnings, rebirth and the never dying hope and spirit – are associated with the Ten of Swords.
Lesson: However low you may be, however bleak you may feel, things are only going to get better and brighter from here – is the hidden lesson of this Card. The final ordeal is over (or about to be over), teaches this Card, so have patience and lie low for sometime. This time of inaction shall give you the ability to deeply analyse and see things as they should be – clear and fair. The Ten of Swords is also a sign that the pain and hurt you may have endured has not gone without purpose. Draw wisdom from the defeat you have experienced.
Sagittarius – The Five of Pentacles – Upright
Indications: The Five of Pentacles is not viewed as a happy Card. The Card indicates at a difficult relationship you share with money and monetary matters or a general lack of faith in your own material security net. You may not be happy with your financial situation. Your lofty hopes, plans and ambitions may have been recently dashed. The Card also points at a time of financial troubles and adversity, and also at a time when you may be planning to quit your job, or may have already lost your job.
Lesson: You have been waiting for an answer, consider it as a NO. Stop worrying over what was lost, and try to move on from where you are. Also, worrying about an abject state, poverty or loss of funds – when it may not actually happen – is going to only cause you more anxiety. So, relax. Be cautious in all your monetary dealings, and curb unnecessary expenses. If you have received a blow on your self-worth or ego recently, or if you feel alone or ignored, have a heart! This too shall paas!
Capricorn – The Tower – Upright
Indications: The Tower Card, without doubt, indicates turmoil and destruction, but it's often pointing at the physical sense of breaking off with an already tumultuous situation – which you may have failed to see or, worse, accept. It does imply sudden upsets, shattered illusions, revelation of hitting truths, yet it brings with it enlightening experiences that are humbling and necessary. A failure, a major move, health issues, change/loss of an old, much loved job or a way of life, a break in a friendship or relationship, depression and anger – are other major indications of this Card.
Lesson: Naturally, the Tower points at disruption of a security net that you may have taken for granted. Yet, when you see it in your reading, instead of being frightened, it's best to come clean about the structures in your life that may already have been breaking away. Have you been planning to leave your shoddy job for good? Do that now! With destruction comes the beginning of creation. Yes, the events surrounding this Card may bring you out of your comfort zone, but it shall also take you towards truth and honesty that leads to spiritual awakening.
Aquarius – The King of Swords – Upright
Indications: Symbolic of intellectual authority and courage to accomplish your goals, the King of Swords Card demands fairness, justice, clarity of roles and a sternness that comes from knowing and believing what's right and what's not. The Card also represents an ability to judge, history, law, rules, regulations, best practices and a dry, detached approach to things and situations in life. The Card urges you to apply logic and fair judgement, and take well-researched, well-thought of decisions. Under the influence of this Card, you may also come in contact with a person with such qualities or may need legal help or intervention.
Lesson: The appearance of this Card tells you to either adopt such an attitude towards a particular situation/s needing logical solutions or seeking professional or legal help for a particularly troublesome issue. The person you trust for such help shall turn out to be pretty useful now. You may also benefit by getting a mentor at this time. You may also get closer to your own father or an elder in the family, if he possesses afore-said qualities, and his advice will prove to be very useful.
Pisces – The Lovers – Upright
Indications: The Lovers is interpreted as a happy card, representing a strong, deep connection between two people, harmony, mutual consent, sexual contentment or desire, self-belief, clarity and a feeling of oneness with one's belief-system. However, this Card also indicates choices or dilemmas, often in love, but also in the other realms of life, and also the fact that choosing the right path is of utmost importance or you may alter your life course forever. A blessing in disguise may also be waiting for you!
Lesson: This is the time to stay true to yourself – be genuine and honest, and make your choices very wisely. If you have been facing any major decisions – think through them, don't shove them at the back of your cupboard any more – face them in face! And, don't just go after the easier option. Your own value system may be challenged under the influence of this Card. It will be on you to choose the 'right' answer, for the other one shall be a 'wrong' answer – for you.

Webinar #1 on the dementias and
Alzheimer's disease.
What is dementia and Alzheimer's disease and how
is a diagnosis established? Before any treatment
occurs, however promising, the exact cause of the
symptoms should be carefully determined, as many
causes of dementia exist, and Alzheimer's, is only
one type.
Even Alzheimer's may have many causes and "risk
factors," and treatment should be focused on the
cause(s) or risk factors determined as much as
possible by science-based, diagnostic
technologies. For instance, are infections such as
chronic lyme disease a factor? What about dental
Should a patient be treated for dementia and
Alzheimer's disease before having all the
information to establish a primary cause(s),
assuming that some of these etiologies are only
likely but not conclusively proven? Given the
expense of laboratory testing, how far should a
clinician go to uncover potentially treatable
causes? Who is entitled to have the intensive
diagnostic "work-up"?
Webinar #2 on the dementias and
Alzheimer's disease.
A model of global brain healing, the 7 Rs, will
be presented, to lay the groundwork for further
discussion and for more intensive therapeutic
The 7 R's of Brain Healing are:
1) Replenish Basic Brain Nutrition
2) Revive the Gastro - Intestinal Tract (GI)
3) Reduce Brain Oxidative Stress and Inflammation
4) Repair Neurons (Brain Cells)
5) Remove Neurotoxins (Brain/Nerve Poisons)
6) Restore Neurotransmitters/Hormones
7) Relinquish Stress using mindfulness-based
Webinar #3 on the dementias and
Alzheimer's disease.
Novel and intensive therapies to address the risk
factors of the dementias and Alzheimer's disease,
including Relox Therapy and other oxidative
therapies, will be discussed.
The brain is 2-3% of the body's weight, and it
consumes 20-30% of the body's oxygen, blood flow
and sugar at rest. Are the dementias and
Alzheimer's disease primarily an oxidative and
vascular issue, that is, an interruption of proper
oxygenation of the brain?
Evidence exists to suggest that oxygen
deprivation of the brain may the pivotal issue
responsible for progression of dementias and
Alzheimer's disease. Are nanobacteria, tiny
infections in blood vessels that block blood flow,
the cause?
Webinar #4 on the dementias and
Alzheimer's disease.
More novel and intensive therapies to address the
risk factors of the dementias and Alzheimer's
disease, including intravenous (IV) therapies for
detoxification, regeneration (phospholipid Rx),
neurotransmitter restoration.
As we age, we can be more susceptible to
nutritional deficiencies, digestion problems and
malabsorption of nutrients (B vitamins, amino
acids, fatty acids, minerals) through the
intestines. IV therapies can rapidly deliver
nutritional assistance and circumvent these
limitations. IV EDTA IV and IV DMPS to remove
toxic metals can accelerate brain detoxification.
Oxygen as peroxide and ozone can be delivered via
IVs to address co-infectious risk factors
(discussed in previous webinar). IV phospholipids
(phosphatidyl choline) to repair cell membranes
(addressed in Webinar #2) can accelerate repair.
IV precursor amino acids can help restore
neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine,
GABA and endorphins.
Webinar #5 on the dementias and
Alzheimer's disease.
More novel and intensive therapies to address the
risk factors of the dementias and Alzheimer's
disease, including autologous stem cell therapies,
will be discussed. Delivery of ones own stem cells
via IVs has been used to treat other chronic,
degenerative brain disorders, such as stroke.
If the 7R's, as well as other risk factors and
intensive brain detoxification have been
addressed, this may prepare an individual
suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's disease to
receive maximum benefit from autologous stem cell
Webinar #6 on the dementias and
Alzheimer's disease plus Summary.
Hypothesis #1:
Amassed data suggests that the dementias and
Alzheimer's disease are preventable and treatable
in the early stages.
Hypothesis #2: Anecdotal
evidence suggests that a full array of integrative
therapies provided for individuals suffering from
the dementias and Alzheimer's disease could at the
very least arrest these so-call "hopeless"
conditions and in a significant percentage of
individuals, reverse them.
Hypothesis #3: Evidence-based
outcome data to quantify the success of such
therapies for individuals suffering from the
dementias and Alzheimer's disease, provided at the
National Integrative Health Associates, can
provide new hope for patients, families,
caregivers, communities, and society as a whole.

Wolferaine - My PleasureMature
"Well it is my pleasure to help such a beautiful lady" I say nodding and slightly bowing. She blushes and I can't help but smile, even though I know this will just push it on.
"I believe that it is time to go to class.... Where are you?" I ask.
"Um..." she mumbles. I flick a hand all her books coming up from the floor to float between us in a neat pile.
She takes off her bag then shoves them into her bag. "Thanks again, I have History in 134" She says looking at a sheet she's plucked from her bag.
"Then we may walk together since we are in the same class" I say smiling.
She smiles back but also blushes which I'm starting to find cute. But I also she the fierce temper behind her eyes. So pulling.... So tempting.
I shake the thoughts from my head. "Shall we go then?" I ask.
She nods and we begins to walk down the hall. I remain quiet and I know the silence seems awkward but I need to distance myself.
I need to know a few things about a person before I get close.
"So what type of creature may you be?" I ask.
"I'm sort of personification of the four seasons" she explains and I notice she moves her hands as she talks. "I don't have to ask you. You're an angel its so obvious with those wings large as life"
I smile then we hit the topic I'm dreading. If she says 'yes' I can't be close to her at all no friendship nothing. If she says 'no' we can be friends or anything.
"So are you Mortal?"

Can a weak tournament player make a good cash game player?
This is probably a stupid question, but I'm not only going to ask it anyway, I'm also going to try to explain why I am asking it. It's not a rhetorical question, and I really am interested to know what you guys (and gals!) think, even though you might think that the answer is obvious.
This is a bit embarrassing, but I have to admit that BelgoSuisse is a bit of a hero of mine. I rarely have men as heroes, it just feels a little too gay for my liking. However, first of all he actually achieved something that a lot of people try to do, and most fail:
[old link~tb]
Secondly I was expecting him to be a really smug smart-alec when I met him, but despite living in France he still somehow manages to be a really nice guy, and you shouldn't under-estimate how much of an achievement that is for somebody that is surrounded by French people all day!
Now in another thread Stu Ungar made a comment that surprised me somewhat, when he suggested that tournaments are not more complicated than cash games, in post 35 of this thread:
Poker Bots
So far all I've ever really done is play tournaments, I enjoy playing tournaments although I'm not particularly good at them, and most of the time I play freerolls anyway so the standards are pretty appalling anyway.
Now I've found out that I'm not tied to an affiliate and RBP have opened a FT account for me, and I'm looking at the options (if any) that are open to me.
Various threads here have said that tournament play and cash games are very different, and do what you enjoy or are good at. I might be mistaken, but the impression I have received here over the last couple of years is that the cash game regs love tournament players coming over to the cash tables, usually to clear a sign-up bonus, because they tend to be easy money.
So these are some options open to me:
1) Carry on playing freerolls and ignore the fact that I have a RBP account until my game is much better and I am winning regularly.
2) Shell out for HEM or PT and try to multitable on a break-even basis, then theoretically take the RB as profit assuming that I am actually capable of playing break-even poker.
Presumably RB accumulates much more quickly on multi-tabled cash games rather than multi-tabled SNGs, for example, but I also assume that it requires more skill?
I'm also assuming that it would not work to have a mixture of cash tables and SNG tables, especially for somebody new to multi-tabling?
I did do some multi-tabling of DoN tournaments when I was clearing my PS deposit bonus, but obviously DoNs have a much more simplistic structure so that didn't require too much skill or strategy.
Sorry for the wall of text, but there's just such a mish-mash of different thoughts in my head at the moment. Also I'm not sure whether this is the best place to post this, so please feel free to move it elsewhere.
Please discuss!
I'm pretty good at lower buy in tourneys and SnGs, I suck at cash games, I'm sure you can be good at cash and suck at tourneys... I'm good at tourneys and suck at cash ^_^ lol.
Tourneys are definitely easier than cash in my opinion, but you can make more money in cash definitely... and on a more frequent basis.
I up too now have played sngs almost all of them at stars and right now I am pretty much sick of playing them so find myself in the same place that you are in. Getting rb from FT made me withdraw most my stars money and move to full tilt where I now have a 100$ bonus to unlock and thanks to 1st deposit fr cash have 190$ for the the purpose of learning cash games.
Today was my first session and I really enjoyed it, your not locked into the same table, if you want to move then you can. There is no ICM consderations or reason to not play a hand if you think its good enough. I also have to say I am playing 2/5c and not at the 1/2c just because my roll allows it and I have no software for two reasons, my roll is all I have right now and I would like to understand how to play without one, but if I do well enough I would buy software.
The question is what do want to do? I have been a freeroll player when I first started and the novelty wore off fast but if your just wanting fun and you enjoy them then thats great. Playing cash is good because you can choose when to stop and you are not playing for hours to try earn a small cash, I think its well worth it to try and learn cash poker then you will know how you feel about it either way.
First of all, about HEM/PT3 - you can get these for free for a year if you sign up to full tilt with using the codes on their websites I think, check it out.
Secondly, anyone with half a brain can make a decent cash game OR tournament player I think. All you gotta do is put the work in to learning and practising and actually doing it. The resources are all here. Bear in mind tournaments come with +variance, so you might not actually be that bad at tournaments, you might just have been unlucky. By the same token if you get a win or two you might not be that great either. Regarding this, I think it's easier to actually assess your capabilities at poker in cash games, since if you play a few tens of thousands of hands and you're doing alright, then you can pretty much say you've got it half cracked. Dunno if the same applies to tournaments.
I would strongly recommend Dusty Schmidt's book (Treat Your Poker Like a Business, or somethin') to OP. It explains these topics perfectly.
They supposed to be total different games. Cash games ,tourneys and one table SnG. Strategy is a lot different. Basics are the same. At least That is what books said .
One thing that i read in Little green book by Gordon is that good cash players are a lot mor carrefull with their chips than tournament players. And the reason is simple. At cash games u loose a lot of chips u loose a lot of money, in a tournament u loose your chips u only loose your buy-in. In cash games u are not pressured by the blinds. In tournaments strategy is begin with tight agressive and loosen up in time, playing big stack, medium stack and short stack as the game dictates. At cash tables u addapt your strategy to the table and mix it up without being pressured by the BB.
But the pros are good at both cose the mathematics are the same.
re: Poker & Can a weak tournament player make a good cash game player?
With all due respect to Stu in the other thread and to Salim (above), I disagree strongly. Tournaments are very much more subtle and complex than ring games. During the course of a tournament, one must constantly adjust one`s game to allow for changes in blinds and in effective stack sizes. The field of play is moving and shifting all the time. Ring games are very static and (dare I say) dull by comparison.
In fairness, I am thinking here of MTTs at mid-stakes. You won`t find subtlety in a freeroll.
You gotta go with what's right for you. For me I get depressed real easily when I lose a tourney. I mean, you can't money in all of em, but if I don't money in every 2nd or 3rd one, I am beside myself. To deal with the frustration I play cash games. I make enough to enter any $3 tourney I feel like playing. I could probably play $5 or $10 tourneys, but I have plenty of time to play higher stakes as time goes by.
The time issue is also a huge factor. Most of the time, to money in a tourney you have to play for 3 hours. Many people have time commitments, so that is where cash games can make up for the lack of 3 hours of uninterrupted time.
Rakeback is huge. I have been playing three years, I have been fortunately able to push the bankroll slowly to $1200 not counting the $600 in withdrawals I made. I do not get rakeback on most of my play. That is a leak that one should cover if they can. It can be a swing of $300 to $600 in a year easily.
The fluidity of a cash game usually does not swing around as wildly as a tourney can. At a tourney you can be at 25 to 30 tables in the course of 1 game which takes a lot more adapting than a ring game. But the adapting does not frighten me in the least, as it gives my opponent less knowledge of what to expect from me.
I think a person not good at tourneys might find cash games a joy to play.
Cash games are typically regarded as requiring more skill because they are played deeper stacked, which means there can be more decisions in the hand. Not saying cash game decisions are harder, but at least there's more of them.
Typically, its easier to transition from cash to tournaments, because you play with a short stack playing cash (grrr hate short stackers), but its really rare for a tournament player to experience playing 200bb's deep.
Can a bad tourney player be a good cash player? It depends what your leaks are that are causing you to lose as a tourney player. But if you're thinking of making the transition, you should brush up on your deep stacked game & implied odds preflop strategy.
This argument holds if we are discussing standard freezeout MTTs only. However, yesterday (for example), I played three tourneys of which one was a standard freezeout, one was a rebuy, and one was a deepstack. In the latter two, there were phases where we were playing 200bb`s deep.
I suggest that a well-rounded tournament player must be capable of playing proficiently at 200bbs and at 20bbs and everywhere in between. Cash specialists, on the other hand, tend to be less comfortable with that kind of changing situation and (as you suggest) are displeased by the presence of short stacks at the table.
this is actually A good question..but I think if you are A good mtt player going to sngs ought to be A little easier..but I think if you are primarily A sng player going to mtt playing would be A bit more challenging..I am bad at both so lol..
re: Poker & Can a weak tournament player make a good cash game player?
I hate tournaments. Too much variance and my style doesn't seem to work for it. Cash games are where the money is at as long as you have the time to grind. Of course if you are a lucky SOB, like some people I know, tournaments can work for you
I have a hard time trying to play cash games right after a tourney, I tend to do a lot better if I am just playing cash games from the start. To me there is a difference in the way one should play them. There is some good advice here and maybe I can take some and be able to do both at the same time.
In cash games you can really punish these types of players, especially if you multi-table. For every 1 that sucks out on you 3 or more will pay you off with a weaker hand or fold to your river bet. In the lower stakes you'll see a lot of people that can't fold top pair or even 2nd pair. But you have to be able to do this. It's not always about winning the pot, sometimes it's about protecting your stack.
Best of luck!
Thanks for the advice so far, very useful.
I'll probably be finding out the answer quite soon anyway, because part of the Full Tilt Poker Academy "Chris Ferguson Pre-Flop Play" challenge involves stealing the blinds five times from middle or late position in no-limit Hold'em cash games.
Yeah, cash is easier.
Play extremely tight and make minor adjustments to your game as needed. Start out value betting relentlessly (assuming you start in the micros).
Then start abusing position more than you think you can and learn to be intimidated by weak players who've got position on you.
As you move up, make it your goal to table select better and more frequently than anyone else.
If you play extremely tight, you will not need to adjust a whole lot. Even against good players, who really are the vast minority, the adjustments you'll have to make will be far smaller and more obvious to you than they would be if you were playing looser.
If you were playing tournaments you have to learn to play a dozen different ways just to play one tournament.
re: Poker & Can a weak tournament player make a good cash game player?
Put your money where you profit, but keep up your weaker games at lower stakes so you keep in practice. I'm better at tourneys online but better at cash in person. Also have fun - I still play fake money sometimes, especially games I like but don't know if I want to risk my bankroll on like Omaha hi/lo.
I think you've misinterpretted... it's not necessarily 'more' skills.... it's different skills (btw.. most cash game players who take a shot at MTTs... REALLY SUCK BADLY at them). playing deepstacked cash tables will help out a tourney players game though.
I'd suggest... if you're thinking of playing cash tables... do some research & learn the game prior to making a switch (esp. if it's from freerolls... because personally it's hard to classify those as tournaments imo)
Concerning cash vs. donkaments, obviously I think cash is much nicer. Also it's much more convenient to adjust to the part of your life where you don't play poker as cash can be played at very flexible hours while tournaments can't, and that's enough of an argument for me never to look back.
But basically what it comes down to in terms of skills is two factors: the depth at which you play (stack size in big blinds) and whether ICM comes into play. To be good at online MTTs, you need to play really good from 5bb to 30bb and not suck too much with deeper stacks, but most structures won't have much play while deep. And good at ICM if your reach final tables. To be good at cash games you need to be really good from 35bb (min buy-in at FTP) up to 200bb or more. To be good at STTs (especially DoNs) you mostly need to master ICM.
These are all very different skill sets. I think you can make a decent argument that the deeper you play the harder things get, so cash is harder as it plays deeper. But the lowest stakes cash is nonetheless really easy to learn how to beat.
I understand the thought, and it is true that tournament players experience high variance. It is an exaggeration, however, to say that "tournaments are pure lottery". In a lottery, no player has a better chance to win than any other, whereas in poker tournaments (as in any form of poker) skilful players have a marked edge and will win consistently over the long term.
For example, 90% of my poker is played in tournaments. It is not unusual for me to have a week in which I lose money. However, I rarely have a losing month and never a losing year. Volume beats variance, whatever form of the game one chooses.
So I've changed to the Jon Turner M Zones challenge for the time being.
Tournaments and cash games are quite different, true. But I don't think anybody discussed something I think is important -
I'll do so with an example hand, and we'll use variables for BBs.
Let's say we're in the BB, and it's checked around to us, in a four-way pot. We have suited connectors, but not big enough for us to raise out of position, we'll go with 8s7s. We decide to check. Remaining players are SB, Hero (BB), MP, and BTN.
The flop hits us big, with 5s6dKs. We've flopped an open ended combo draw. Here are some of the differences in how we might play it.
We flopped a hand with a lot of equity, assuming nobody shares our hole cards, our straight outs, or is on a better flush draw, we have a whopping 15 outs to beat even a flopped monster, which gives us something like a 63% chance to improve to a straight or a flush, and a very small (almost negligible) percentage to improve to two pair or a flush to beat the likes of AK.
In a cash game, we have a few options how to play this, in a limped pot too much aggression isn't going to get paid off, unless somebody played Kx and hit two pair, slowplayed a monster (KK, AA), flopped two pair w/ 65, or a lesser draw, like 34 for instance. We can choose to play the pot slowly and hope to improve and get paid, or play it aggressive and hope somebody gives you some action and you improve, or play it aggressive and hope everybody folds around. From short-stack, you might check w/ the intent to check/raise jam, while you're still looking to your chips in there with a lot of outs. From a middle stack your play might be trickier, you will have a couple actions, and from deep stack you'll have all the options listed and a few more.
I recently had a flop like this in a cash game sitting around 400 BBs effective stacks in a 3-way pot. With a pot of around 20 BBs, I bet out about 15 BBs, villain A raised to 30 BBs, Villain B reraised to 60 BBs, I called, Villain A reraised to 120 BBs, Villain B called, and I jammed for the remainder of my 400 BB stack. Villain A folded, and villain B, after much contemplation, folded. They ran the cards to the turn and river and I was unimproved, but I took down 240 BBs on the flop with a monster combo draw. Also - both of my villains were terrible.
That's just one example of cash game play.
Now, assuming same pot-size, 20 BBs, and I'm at 50 BBs left, there is a lot more reason for me to open-jam that pot, then check/raise, because when my open-jam induces a fold from weak Ks, 2nd Pr, and gutshot draws w/ high card, and less than premium flush draws, I've increased my stack from 50 BBs to 70 BBs, a 40% increase. In the event that I get called, villain is getting bad odds, 50 BBs to win a pot of 70 BBs, and probably won't call me with less than a premium hand, a strong king, two pair, a set, or a bigger flush draw. Were I to open-check here, and there is a bet and a reraise, I have lost all fold equity, and if I decide to jam I can count on going to a showdown, as I can't give people bad enough pot odds to fold. Even if there's no raise, and it's just a 15 BB bet, when villain is getting 85:35, or about 2.45:1, he's much more likely to look me up, and people being calling after his action just sweeten the pot for him, and others in it.
Of course, in the event that you improve and end up having the strongest hand and taking down the pot at showdown, you'll be happy you got some action, putting your stack at 120 BBs instead of the 70 BBs before. However, provided you are short stack in the hand, your tournament life is at risk. If you are better than your opponents, there is a better time to make a move. If the bubble approaches, you can expect folds from less than big hands. And I don't know enough about ICM to make a strong point here other than, but a 70 BB stack isn't as likely to do as well as a 120 BB stack.
Another option when you get the 15 BB bet is to call. But if you don't improve on the turn, not only do you lose half your equity, but you lose a large amount of your fold equity as well (barring a scare card comes out for villain that fits into the story you've told through your actions, assuming your villain operates on that level of thinking and sees more than just his two hole cards and the board, but that's assuming a lot...)
So if I go busto in a cash game in a hand such as the above at a weak table, I've got more cash in my BR so I'm happy to buy back in, and continue forcing the villains to make bad decisions, and reaping the rewards of my efforts. In a tournament, I only get to go busto once, so I can either take a shot early, or wait until my chances are more solidified and get in with a better edge, because once you account for the 16-20 cards dealt as hole cards, provided a FR table (up to 10), you're looking at 3-6 spades, and maybe a couple of your straight outs, if not more, eaten up. I'd probably be looking for better places to make a play, especially if my table was full of weak (but lucky) players. In a cash game, I'd be stacking off against anybody I felt was made without a better flush draw, and being happy about it. (With the occaisonal passive play while I try to connect cheaply, depending on stack size and villain's tendancies.)
Of course, all these are for playing a pot out of position, and I already feel like I've wrote an essay, and the only tournament stack size I've looked at is 50 BBs. And only one type of hand, being an open ended combo draw...
But these are just some examples. As always, there are tons of factors. Villains, your cards, their cards, the gap in skill, the gap in luck, how you do in certain, what leaks you have, what leaks your opponents are able to exploit, etc.
To answer OP's original question, tournaments and cash games are two different beasts. Depending on whether you play live or on-line will make a difference (my live game is much better than my online game, in one I'm a consistant winner and the other a consistant loser), but that's not for me to discuss at the moment.
I've taken enough time writing this overly long and very specific answer to a general question.
re: Poker & Can a weak tournament player make a good cash game player?
Yes, that's part of the reason that the "online poker is rigged" conspiracy theory is so popular. People that can regularly crush live poker games come and play online and lose, and need to find an excuse - sorry, reason - for why they lose online when they do so well at live games.
re: Poker & Can a weak tournament player make a good cash game player?
At the start (for the 20 or so hands you are deep-stacked) you have zero % equity in the tournament. At the start you know exactly how many chips you need to win (its all of them) so you know you need to double up many times.
it's unusual to get the money in an be much more than a 70% favourite.
What happens when you multiply 0.7 by 0.7 a few times? you end up with a very small number. Thats the odds of you winning all of these doubleups!
Now the mid stages where you are close to the bubble or ITM, the ICM starts factoring in and you get these lovely debates about the merits of folding AA preflop.. which of course noone really does.
Then the end stages are where the blinds are so high that play is governed by M and things like the sage system.
It certainly requires skill but most of the tournament you are so far form the end that there is no strategy, you are just playing poker with mid sized stacks which isnt all that skillfull.. you are playing a game where you are pot committed by the turn.. there just aren't the implied odds or remaining stacks to get all that creative.
And by the end its a lottery you are forced to shove things like K7s (I get K7s.. I shove... oohh the skill!)
But yes the mid portion of the tournament dose indeed have quite a bit of strategy in it, but to get there you have to multiply 0.7 by 0.7 by 0.7 a few times

Lord Poozzab... or "Danny-boy" as i'm affectionatly called.
I'd like to be called "Lord Poozzab" but as it's so preposterously unique to the point of people stoning me or rioting me out of town, I think I'll stick with a simple "Daniel Lees".
"Daniel" comes from my father. Though his name was Robert like his father, while my mother was pregnant with me he was out to sea with the navy. (In the navy! do-do doo-doo motherland! In the navy!) Well, one night, drunk at a bar, he got on stage singing karaoke and sang "Daniel" by Elton John, you know. The one about that spanish blind dude that couldn't see and was riding off into the sunset on a donkey? That one? Yea, my pappy sang that and called my mom up asking about "Daniel". She was confused, and he informed her that that was the name he'd decided was to be mine.
So, i'm birthed, and they're both in the delivery room, and my wonderful mother had just passed me from her womb. Everything is fine, until my mother says "call my mom, don't let her be worried if anything bad happened." My dad said, "I'm not calling her until we decide a name for the boy."
I'll let you know that I have an older brother, and he too was given a huge bit of grief over when birthed. My father wanted his way of naming him, and my parents refused to agree to anything before the fact. Stubborn people, huh?
Well, my mother says, "No. You call my mother right now, and tell her." My father is a very tough man, having been in the navy and not. He refused and said, "Let's call him Daniel." and my mother said "no. Let's name him Thomas. Gregory Thomas."
My father looked to the nurse and demanded, "Give her another hit of morphine." Zonk! More drugs! my mother couldnt' fight it much more, and so my name came to be Daniel.
"Lees" comes from my great Grandma Dory (may she rest in peace) who's last name was Lees until marriage. Me inheriting it wasn't all that special, but I got lees cause my brother had it and my father didn't want me to feel like they loved me any less than them. (Father is Robert Lees, brother is Jeffery Lees, I am Daniel Lees.)
My last name is cause that's my family's name. No sense describing it!
"Lord Poozzab" and "Pozzy the Great" come from an experience in 6th grade I'll never forget. my friend Pierre and I (who I've known since 2nd grade and before) were in this one class where we were on computers for 2 hours. I'd get my work done in an hour and wouldn't have anything to do for the rest of the month so we sat around and laughed and played. It was awesome. Well, one day we had to design web pages on a website called freewebs, and I really didn't know what to use for my username. So we were shouting out silly little immature things to use as usernames like "poophead" and what have you, and he said "how bout "Zab? that's funny" and I said "Poozzab! Ha!" (i'd accidentally typed it into the box from poo something). I looked at it, giggled, and it just felt 'right' for some reason. God only knows there are things that are perfect and destined for a single person to use for ever, and I'll probably always be sononymous with this name.
So remember me as either "Lord Poozzab" or "Daniel Lees". Both good names, significantly related to myself.
Oh, and I forgot. My great Grandmothers name was Dory Lees, and because DLB when married. My initials? DLB. She gave me a picture she got when she was born with her initials on it because we had such a bond. (It's a sad clown. Hooray!)

Similar body and texture to Breakaway Blend 99, color is wildly vibrant. Mouth entry is wondrous and seamless.
The tea is sweet, with no trace of bitterness (this is rare in the matcha world). Clean and harmonious. It's surreally good, better than anything we've ever tasted with the exception of the 99 and 100.
The crema is rich, thick, and delightful. If you've never tasted the 99 or 100, you would swear that matcha couldn't possibly get any tastier. A fantastic bargain given the quality. From Ogura, Uji (Kyoto), Japan's oldest and most distinguished matcha appellation.

The 97 was excellent! I am not a matcha expert yet. But I know what tastes good and makes you feel good...and this sure does.

I had never tried matcha before and thought I'd start off with the best ... and I was not disappointed! It is delicious, smooth and not at all bitter. I was skeptical of the 'heightened awareness' claims but not anymore. I know I was much more alert/aware without the typical caffeine jitters. Amazing. I purchased Breakaway Blend 97.

Every one of the teas I have tried are superb! The customer service is wonderfully "off the charts" great, and the packaging and quick shipping are just added bonuses.
The BEST!

Thank you Eric.

So smooth!

Out of the brands (very few admittedly) of matcha that I have tried, Breakaway has the best flavor at a decent price. And I have already told a few friends and co-workers about Breakaway.

After having my first cup of Matcha in Japan 12 years ago, I have sampled/purchased a multitude of Matchas and BREAKAWAY is far and away the best all around. I always recommend it to my matcha peeps, and the only thing that deters some from purchasing is the price. Those folks drop by my house unexpectedly and hope I will offer them a big ol scoop of Daphne blend!!

This matcha is the one I order when I know I'm going to be drinking it every day, maybe twice! It's very smooth, with a nice round flavor, and it seems to have a thicker crema, though maybe it's my technique that is improving. That thicker foam at the top is very satisfying to sip, and then than smooth sip of green liquid slips in, and hour is happily launched.

I love this stuff. I've made it part of my morning routine to make a cup and then go sit on the deck. It has such an amazing mouthfeel. I like to make it on the thicker side to really maximize the flavor.
Looking forward to sampling the other blends.

I'm a habitual fan of the organic matcha, but try out the others occasionally and was really pleased with how unique and delightful '97' is. A very refined cup of matcha that won't disappoint.

I'm a "beginner" Matcha drinker. I watched all the Breakaway videos and read all the directions. Blend 97 was definitely a great blend to try out first. I have my cold brew in the morning and my hot brew Blend 97 in the afternoon. There not a bitter taste that some Matcha teas and normal green teas have. It's smooth and perfect!

Let's face it-if I could afford it, I'd drink the Blend SE or Blend 100 everyday! But I can't...the Blend 97, however, hits the sweet spot between flavor and cost, and right now I think I'll go make a cup.

97 is my go to for drinking pure matcha with no additions. Delightful taste

I'm a first time matcha drinker and I'm so glad I started with Breakaway because there is no need to try another brand. The tea is really delicious and smooth. I look forward to my daily cup. Can't wait to upgrade to the 99 and 100. I plan to purchase the coldbrew packets to have when I travel.

Just had my first cup of Matcha today and it was a very pleasing experience. Smooth and rich. I have never had a green tea with taste other than a cardboardy unpleasantness. The Matcha 97 was completely different and I look forward to the realization of the relief of fatigue and stress.

I received the 97 Blend and upon first sip…WOW! I can't imagine what the 99 and 100 taste like! This is my go to hot matcha blend…that is until I try the 99 and 100. I love it! It's a must try!

This was my first Matcha try. I'm so pleased my first experience was great. I won't order with anyone else. Breakaway Matcha has great customer service and delicious Matcha. After reading reviews I opted for 97. Beautiful smooth taste!

The color, sweetness, and flavor of this blend is perfect for my morning drink. I have not tried the other blends but this one is very good. I will stick to Breakaway Matcha for its high quality and service. Thank you.

It's possible I have developed an (un)healthy obsession with matcha tea and have tried many different matchas from other suppliers. Breakaway Matcha is by far the absolute best in terms of texture, flavor, and overall service. I LOVE the 97 and 99 blends (still need to try the 94 and 100 blends). They're so smooth and flavorful with no bitterness that I've found with so many of the other brands. I could drink cup after cup after cup after cup and never tire of it. I also have to comment on the excellent customer service. Each package is wrapped up so nicely in their vibrant green paper and shipped immediately, with a personal note on the invoice. Hard to come by personalized service anymore and makes for such a nice touch!
STORAGE: always keep your matcha refrigerated until ready to use
