Playing a game of poker requires a lot of discipline. In a way, discipline is extremely important in every sport. Whether it’s a game of football, baseball or soccer, an undisciplined player cannot go too far. Therefore, all poker players must train themselves to follow a strict poker discipline.

Rational Decisions

In poker, landing with a good hand is one of the most exciting things for a player. But this excitement is exactly what makes a player lose a good hand. A poker player should always stop himself from getting too excited after landing a good hand.

Most players take rash decisions when they think that they have got a winning hand. They make irrational moves and bet more than they should. The poker discipline tells us that every move made by a player should be calculated and not driven by emotions. Presuming that he has the best cards, often results in disaster for a player.

Firm Decisions

Players must stick to their decisions. Players, who are a little tight on the budget, should choose the hands carefully. Do not go on bidding on every hand in the hope of a miracle because miracles are very rare. Use your brain and not heart while making decisions in a poker game.

Ending a game well is as important as starting it at a good point. A player must know when to fold his cards. This decision should be made after taking the situation of the game in to consideration. However, a player must have a strategy in his mind as to when and how he should leave the game.

If you are a new player, then it can be difficult for you to get used to these disciplines. Nevertheless, these are a key skill required to become an expert poker player and should be learned as soon as possible.

The rules for playing a Texas Hold’em game and Pineapple poker are same. These can be played both online and at a classic casino. There are only few differences between these two games. First difference is that the number of hole cards a player receives when blinds are posted is not similar to Texas Hold’em game. In a Texas Hold’em game player starts with two hole cards but in pineapple poker player starts with three hole cards.  Second difference occurs at a later stage after the flop. At this stage a player has to discard one card. Pineapple poker is quite easy to play. Winning hands are more in this game when compared to Texas Hold’em poker and Omaha poker.

Pineapple poker is more exiting. It allows players to draw maximum profits from the game. The three hole cards available for the players give them good starting hands and help them with more hands during the flop. In this game players can place their bets in the same way as they did in Texas Hold’em game. They should place their bets in the first round ad the time of receiving their hole cards and should place bets in the second round after the flop. After the flop round players should discard one hole card.
Here is a detailed description of the game, which can help a player in making a winning move. This game begins with the blinds being posted. First a small bind is posted by one player and a big bind is posted by another player. After this event the dealer gives three cards to each player. These cards are called as hole cards. They are dealt face down so that the opponents won’t see other player’s cards. Once these cards are dealt the betting begins. In this game players have chance of seeing the flop and placing their bets.
 
Once the first round of betting is completed the dealer deals three cards on the flop to the community. These community cards are shared by all players at the table. These cards will help the players in making their best hand. Now the second round of betting begins and each player should discard one card from the deck. Here is a simple example showing players move at the time of second round. Let us say that a player has started his game with 8s-8h-8d hole cards and the flop has 10h-8d-9h. Here each player has to take a decision of removing one card from the hole cards. If a player wishes to keep his flush draw open than he has to discard one of 8’s of his hole cards. If he wishes to keep the combination of 8’s than he has to discard key card in the flush draw.  
Once this stage gets completed the turn card is dealt to the community. When turn card is dealt players should raise their betting’s.  When players raise their betting the last community card is dealt. This card is called as the river card. The maximum number of bets allowed per player in each round is four. These betting’s would consists of various options like bet, raise, re-raise and a cap. Cap is used to describe the third raise. Cap allows a player to place his final bet. It stops him from further raise. Once the pot is capped players have only two options: they can call or fold.
Till this stage the structure and variation of pineapple poker is similar to the Texas Hold’em game. The change comes in the last stage of showdown. When players makes to showdown they have several choices to choose. These choices can make the game interesting and fun. At the time of showdown players have five cards for making the best possible hand. Players can choose two hole cards and three community cards or they choose one hole card and four community cards. If the best hand they choose involves five cards on the board than players can play the give community cards as their best possible hand.
 
Pineapple poker is a strategic game in which if a player uses proper skills and follows proper rules the game will turn in his favor. Though this game is similar to Texas Hold’em the players need few warm up sessions for learning the game. It needs few planning skills. Players should be able to analyze their initial steps properly so that they won’t face any backlogs in their final stages.

There is another pineapple game for players. This is called as hi-lo crazy pineapple. Here the pot is split between the best high hand and the lowest low hand. In order to play this game and get a qualifying hand players should have 5 unpaired cards, eight or lower for qualifying to low. In this game straights and flushes do not count against low hand and they can be used for high and low. For example if a player has AA in the pocket and the board consists of 2, 3, k, 5, 7 than high hand will be AAK75 and the hand you get is A2457. Here the best worst possible low hand is 45678 and the best possible low hand is A2345.

Interview of Jamie Gold:
An interview with Jamie Gold the WSOP poker champion of 2006 has inverted the world of poker. He admitted to the reporters that he had violated the game rules twice and has won the championship. He had actually broken two separate rules during the tournament. During one incident Gold admitted that he had exposed the hole card to another player. During another event he had told the opponent after he had placed a bet that Gold had the top kicker. Cash games actually are ring games and both these kinds of revelations are accepted in such games.

Penalty for Gold
If the game officials had really witnessed this violation of rules at the WSOP then he would have been made to incur a penalty. The penalty is that he would have been out of the game for 10 minutes for each incidence. And had all this happened another player would have been the champion instead of Jamie Gold. Once this interview was published an official investigation was launched by WSOP. Hours of video tape was also reviewed. During the consultations with the WSOP, Gold was pretty truthful and cooperative about the set of laws he had broken.

This is the fifth year on the school where I work. My students are between seven and thirteen years old. I like it quite a lot here, the head principal is good at his job and the other teachers are decent people. Particularly one is very enchanting…
Apart from that, the house is nice and the students are fairly engaged in their work. However, I wish that the school was closer to the city. I have to go up more than two hours before I start working in order to unlock the classroom in time. It takes me almost an hour to get to the school building. I could probably rise a bit later in the morning, but I want to have time to read the morning paper and have a decent breakfast. A long shower each morning is also important to me. Having to rush to work is the worse thing that I know.

Imagine how many classes filled with students have passed while I have been working as a teacher. The class I am teaching now makes me proud, and of course there are students that you worry a little bit about or are a little extra impressed by.
As a teacher it can be nice to know that there are students that care more than to play poker during class. Not to say that I don’t like poker, because I do, but there is a time and a place for everything. Yesterday there were two kids playing poker after the class had started and told them to quit immediately. But not before I had showed them a poker trick or two…

Apart from that little event, I am happy to see that parents seem to look after their kids well and make sure that they actually do their homework. It is always nice to see ambition work its ways.
The other day I got a visit from a student that graduated over for years ago. Amazing – before me stood a tall, beautiful twenty year old who smiled like we knew each other. When I finally understood who it was, I felt embarrassed and gave her a hug. I remembered her as shy, a bit chubby and silent. Now she had blossomed, maybe more than anything on an intellectual level. We talked for a long time, and I felt really proud and happy to be a teacher!

It has been a lot of work lately but now the weekend is here. I can’t tell you how much I have longed for it! My plans are simple: I will be going away with my parents and siblings to the summer cottage that we own together. It will be so great to sleep in, go to the beach, lying in the grass, talking walks, being in the nature and eating good food.
What I long for the most is to be in the water; swimming, diving… I deserve a looot of leisure time now that I’ve gone through this long, cold winter. However, there is one problem with this trip. In the summer cottage, there is no Internet, which means that I wont be able to play poker online. A year ago I could manage some time without online gambling, but things have changed since then. The risk that I wont have any Internet for the whole weekend really bothers me and I cannot get this problem off my mind.
I play more poker now than I have done in years, and I am having so much fun with it. I used to think that online poker was better suited for people that didn’t want to socialize (which I do), but there are so much more to it. And it doesn’t have to be isolating at all. There are many reasons to why I prefer it to playing poker IRL.
Long story short – hanging out at the summer cottage won’t be remotely as fun as it used to be now that I am cut of the Internet. I will probably constantly try to figure out ways to get online, instead of enjoying my free time in the sun.
I guess that it is possible to get to the nearest city to use and Internet café there, but my family will certainly object to it.
They don’t believe me when I say that I have both the will power and the strategies to win big one day. If they did, they would probably allow me my online time…

Either way, I guess I will have a good time at the cottage. The weather reports are promising great weather and the water should be warm by now. I cannot wait to get in it! Maybe that will even take my mind of the poker…
