To Win a No-Limit Hold’em Poker Tournament: Don’t Look at Your Cards

February 21, 2014

Mill Valley, CA (PRWEB) May 7, 2008

If you’ve ever played in a no-limit hold’em poker tournament you know that you can go a long time before getting good cards. As you wait and wait, your chips stack keeps getting lower and lower as the blinds and antes increase. What should you do?

Don’t let your lousy cards ruin a smart play. Tournament Poker: 101 Winning Moves explains that if your chips drop below fifteen times the big blind you need to make a move. The "no-look" blind steal is when you are in a late position and everyone folds to you. Rather than looking at your cards, just raise to steal the blinds.

Does this play work? Absolutely! Just don’t get caught…

"I used this move and raised the blinds. To my shock the player in the big blind called me out and said, ‘You didn’t look at your cards.’ I was taken aback," explains Mitchell Cogert, the author of Tournament Poker: 101 Winning Moves.

"Of course the best course of action is to ignore and then deny. Which I did," continues Mitchell. "But my opponent wouldn’t let go. When the flop cards hit the table and my opponent checked, I resisted the temptation of looking at my cards and just bet. My opponent wouldn’t fold. He just kept looking at me maybe thinking I was going to confess."

"Finally, I said ‘I’m not an idiot, of course I looked.’ Yeah, he folded, but from then on whenever I make this move I just pretend to look at my cards."

In Tournament Poker: 101 Winning Moves, Mitchell conducted a search of almost 20 years worth of poker materials to compile the first reference book for no-limit, hold’em poker tournaments with one hundred and one moves used by the experts. And he includes a few interesting stories of his heads-up battles against the top poker pros. And poker players love the book:

"I have read over thirty poker books in my life and I can honestly say that this is the most important one of them all. I only wish I could have read this sooner!" — Dayton2Vegas.com

"I just wanted to say that your book is SUPERB! Even after reading Harrington and Sklanksy, I wasn’t very good. Your book showed me the way. I now play a very aggressive game and it works. People at the local casinos tell me I play like Gus Hansen, which is never a bad thing."     — Jules Carter    

Tournament Poker: 101 Winning Moves is an invaluable reference book for the poker player who wants to know what the poker pros know and strives to be a winner. The book is comprehensive and easy to understand with moves for pre-flop, flop, turn, river and heads-up play. The e-book is available today and the paperback will be available later this month on amazon.

The book is written by Mitchell Cogert a successful strategist to Fortune 500 companies and author of Play Razz Poker to Win. A series of video No-Limit Poker Tournament Quizzes will highlight a few key moves in the book. For media information go to apokerexpert

Free shipping is available and the three piece poker chip sets are being sold for $19.99.

Customers at Nevada Jacks have also been clamoring over the 300 piece Obama chip set, which is the perfect number for a standard home poker game. Also included are a durable aluminum carrying case, one deck of Nevada Jacks branded playing cards, and one Obama dealer button. There are 100 poker chips of each color, which will make for a memorable home game or other poker tournament. There are limited quantities available and, in order to ensure delivery in time for the holidays, interested customers are encouraged to act quickly while the special-edition chips are still in stock.

Nevada Jacks has also packaged a dozen plastic playing cards together and slashed the retail price by 50% in order to provide easy-to-purchase stocking stuffers. The cards carry the Nevada Jacks brand and are of comparable quality to Copag cards. Plastic playing cards carry a longer life span than their more traditional counterparts and can hold up to spills and other mishaps that often pervade traditional home games.

For an affordable present for the poker lover in your life, Nevada Jacks is offering a 500 piece Tri-Color chip set for just $39.99. The chip set, which is normally listed at $199.99, comes with everything needed to run a large-scale poker tournament, including 150 black chips, 150 purple chips, 150 green chips, 25 red chips, 25 white chips, a sturdy aluminum case, a deck of plastic cards, and a dealer button to keep track of the action. Free shipping is available via UPS Ground and orders placed now will arrive in time for the holidays.

LetÂ?s Get Personal(Ized) Online

February 18, 2014

Buffalo Grove, IL (PRWEB) August 11, 2004

Trendsetters, fashion divas and creative spirits, we have the website for you. With over 2,000 unique personalized stationery and gift products, thereÂÂ’s something for everyone. Just ask ABC-TV celebrity personality Star Jones! View a personalized note card featuring her shoe closetÂÂ…complete with stilettos or her engagement party invitation and thank you note card. You can have the same personalized notecard with your name on itÂÂ… or create your own design! And, itÂÂ’s not just about personalized stationery! At TheStationeryStudio you can find a custom product line that is extensively cute and personalized to your taste.                        

Their products have drawn national attention in features by The Wall Street Journal, NBC-TVÂÂ’s Today Show and ABCÂÂ’s ”The View”. With over 150,000 visitors a month (and growing!) they have a dedicated customer base which they continue to delight with the best-of-the-best in unique, custom and fun personalized gifts and stationery items. ”For some of our customers,” explains Renee Redman, owner of TheStationeryStudio, ”our site can be addicting. Once you create personalized items you want to return for more.”

As a niche website offering the ”hard-to-find” but ”need-to-get items”, TheStationeryStudio.com has emerged as one of the premier websites dedicated to personalized stationery, note cards, birth announcements, moving cards, personalized poker chips, acrylic and ceramic gifts, Louisville Slugger baseball bats, wedding invitations, gift stickers and custom gifts. Started in 1992, The Stationery Studio was once touted as a local hotspot for creating dynamic custom invitations and announcements. Often, their customers would pick up a personalized gift item while they were there looking for birth announcements, bar/bat mitzvah or wedding invitations. To provide a flexible online catalog for their out of state customers they created a website in 1998. Over the years it has grown into an online powerhouse focusing on unique specialty ”knock your socks off” personalized gift items for customers all over the world.

The spectrum of popular-priced items that can be ordered is extensive and there is truly something for everyone. LetÂÂ’s take bathrooms for example. For many, their powder room isnÂÂ’t complete without personalized paper guest towels with their name and the phrase ”WhadÂÂ’ya expectÂÂ…Linen?” Their childrenÂÂ’s presents must have the cutest gift stickers on them. A note card needs hand-lettered calligraphy address labelsÂÂ…and many will only use customized ”From the Mommy of” note sheets for correspondence to school.

”We canÂÂ’t get enough cute things to offer,” explains Redman. ”WeÂÂ’re constantly adding to our selection and there are many personalized gift ideas for all holidays.” This year, make your friends green with envyÂÂ… put your favorite pupÂÂ’s name on a ceramic dog bowl or sew ”fashioned with love by” woven labels to handmade personalized giftsÂÂ… or place a monogram on elegant, but affordable custom stationery wardrobe note cards! This summer, send your favorite little ones off to sleepover camp with their own custom postcards and stationery. Put the grandkidÂÂ’s center stage on a sweatshirt or ceramic platter imprinted with the phrase ”We Love Grandma & Grandpa” and all their namesÂÂ…and donÂÂ’t forget to order a birthstone bracelet for the little lady in your life.

One of their customerÂÂ’s favorite areas of the site provides a huge selection of adorable stick figure stationery, announcements, invitations and gift items. ”They are completely unique and personal and they allow our customers to express who they are and who they want to be. The customer decides exactly how the personalized stick figure notecards and gifts will look. We have the artwork drawn to the customerÂÂ’s specifications and they are limited only to their imagination!”

As the largest online dealer of personalized stick figure products in the U.S., they offer varied items with stick figure designs including stationery, notepads, birthday invitations, moving announcements, address labels, clothing, tote bags, gift stickers and post-its. ”ItÂÂ’s a golden opportunity to let everyone know how you want to look, your passion, your hobby or your profession. Whether itÂÂ’s real estate, jogging, being a princess, shopping, reading or basketball, the customer makes the decision,” explains Redman. Just ask Lisa Gubernick, Wall Street Journals Catalog Critic, she commented, …"But for that really special note, we were hoping for something more personalized ÂÂ- and The Stationery Studio had just the thing. Ordering online, we entered our child’s name and then "built" a stick figure to match, choosing general characteristics (boy or girl, long or short hair) and favorite activity (violin, baseball)….. Lily loved that she got to be pictured with "my stuff." We were entranced as well ÂÂ- and awarded these Best Overall."

Indeed, TheStationeryStudio.com is the place to find the hard-to-find gift. ItÂÂ’s a one-stop shop for all ages and all generations. If you love cooking, they offer personalized ”Cooked with Love” stickers you can place on your baked goods. If you love reading, there are gorgeous bookplates for all ages. Little indulgences like hand-calligraphied address labels and mommy pads are the reason their customers keep coming back.

”Another reason customers keep returning is because we offer exceptional value and excellent service. We try to provide the same special attention to all of our online orders that we would to any local customer,” says Redman. ”These are the kind of items you canÂÂ’t find at your local department storeÂÂ… or the mall,” she notes, ”specialty items like these are unique.”

Most gift items on TheStationeryStudio range from $20 to $40. ”We try to create an extensive selection of affordable items for our customers. This year we introduced online gift certificates in any denomination starting at $20 which can be sent via mail or instantly via email. They have been a big hit as they allow the recipient to make all the custom choices about their personalized gift,” she explains.

”We know from 12 years of experience how recipients appreciate the items we offer. In todayÂÂ’s world, itÂÂ’s important for many people to stay connected to their friends and family and these are the type of items that say that you took the time to order something special.” Redman adds ”ItÂÂ’s that personal(ized) touch that makes all the difference.”
