Knowing the right game to play can give you an edge before you've even started playing. Chips make you bet more. There's some pretty simple reasoning behind this. Of course casinos want you to gamble away as much money as possible, and this is an easy way to do it. If the things being bet aren't actually paper bills, then players are more likely to put up more of it. Chips aren't the only currency used to do this though, as things like tokens and cards are often used to the same effect within the walls of casinos.
After all, if the things being wagered don't really feel like actual money, you're less likely to care about it, and are therefore more likely to frivolously toss it away without feeling as guilty, like playing Monopoly. Not to mention, chips' bright and distinct color make them more visually appealing, and giving the whole system a more lighthearted and whimsical feeling, all the while large sums of cash are being tossed about. If you want to consciously fight this urge to treat this money like less, try counting your chips to have a more concrete idea as to how much you really are spending on games during your stay at the casino. Sometimes. it is better to watch the game season 7 episodes. The truth about dealers. Being a dealer at the casino can either be a good or bad thing because for one, the dealer gets to gain experience about the table games and strategies. However on the other hand, they can often be treated poorly, and even be untrustworthy themselves. The job of the dealer is not only to move the game along with ease and efficiency, but also to make sure players get sucked into the game even more. Because of this, he or she might act very overly friendly and fake towards participating patrons. In reality however, most of these people do feel for players and wish that they could win money. On top of this, another motivator to keep being kind and friendly is the fact that dealers mostly make their money off of tips. Similar to waiters and waitresses, their paycheck reflects on customer service. There is a dark side of this job, and that is the temptation of all the money and chips being circulated throughout their hands. On many accounts, dealers have been caught trying to steal money from the casino, and this is an obvious no-no. Sanitation can be a concern. Poker chips are handled by countless numbers of people through undetermined periods of time. It isn't hard for them to come into contact with plenty of germs and bacteria. All it takes is a single person to use the bathroom without washing their hands before the chips become sanitarily questionable. Not to mention all those who enter a gambling establishment with diseases already. And many people in such a tight space makes the transmission of their sickness easier. Also, it's far too common that players get too caught up in their games to make the necessary toilet break.

So, New York City is a foodie city. And, of course, one of the most famous things to eat in New York City is the pizza, New York pizza, famous around the world.
Pizza by the slice, pizza by the whole pie, definitely make sure you eat plenty of pizza while you're here. Some of the best whole pizza places, there's Lombardi's in Little Italy, and then there's Grimaldi's in Brooklyn, underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. If you go to those places, make sure you take a friend, 'cause you can only get a whole pizza at those places. There's plenty of other pizza by the slice places in the center city https://uscasinosguide.com/bonus-slots/. Check those out. Make sure when you get the pizza by the slice that you put on Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, chili peppers, and oregano, those kind of four toppings, classic in New York pizza by the slice establishments. Also, New York City has a lot of food carts, and I'll tell you, for the most part, you should avoid the carts. They can be pretty sketchy, but, the Halal Guys has a pretty cool cart and the lines are often really long for the Halal Guys, so, check that one out. Look it up on Yelp, they've got thousands of reviews, and the Halal Guys really is that good. New York City is also famous for pastrami sandwiches. Katz' Deli, famous place for pastrami. Get a pastrami sandwich on rye. Also a great place for food is in China Town. China Town has great Chinese food. There's this place that has a bunch of locations in New York but they have it in China Town too, called Xian Famous Foods. Chinese foods from Xian, spicy noodles. Check that out, also, check out the dumplings. Bagels are pretty popular in New York City. Get some bagels with lox. Also, New York hot dogs, if you wanna try New York hot dogs, definitely skip the carts, but stop by this place called Gray's Papaya. They've got a few locations in Manhattan, but they do hot dogs and papaya juice, so get yourself a hot dog and a papaya juice from Gray's Papaya. That'll probably be one of the cheapest things that you eat when you're here in New York. And finally, make sure you get some New York cheesecake. That's right. All right, well hey, I hope you enjoyed this video. If this was your first time watching my channel, please click here to subscribe, so that you don't miss any of my new videos every weekend. Or, you might follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+. Links are in the description below, or click here and here to watch some of my other videos from New York. You'll find links to those in the description below as well. All right, bye bye! There's lots of museums in New York. There's the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, and a lot of these museums, pro-tip, have a suggested admission, but if it's a suggested admission, you don't actually have to pay the full suggested admission.
It's kind of like a donation. You can pay whatever you think you want to pay at a place that has a suggested admission for the museum. Some other neat attractions, Chelsea Market. If you're down by the High Line, check out the Chelsea Market, it's a cool, kinda like food hall. People say that Chelsea Market is what started the food hall revival in the US. The New York Public Library is famous, check that building out, go inside. And then of course there's the iconic 5th Avenue shopping, which is... Well it's down a few blocks that way from where I'm standing. All the iconic New York things are on 5th Avenue, so make sure you check that out if you like shopping. All right, the ninth thing to know before you come to New York City is about hotels. So, earlier I said hotels, not just hotels, but everything in New York City is really expensive, including the hotels. Hotels here charge way more than anywhere else in the US and often you don't really get a very good value, just because it is so popular to come here. If you wanna save some money, then don't stay on Manhattan, stay in some of the outer Boroughs. Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island. You could even stay in New Jersey and take the path trains into the city. I've done that before, it's pretty easy. If money is no object I will tell you the Park Hyatt, which is just, one, two blocks away from where I'm standing is quite amazing. I've got a video review of the Park Hyatt. You can click one of these cards over here to check that one out. Park Hyatt normally runs for like $750 a night, but if you've got Hyatt points you can book it for free with Hyatt points. Also, the JW Marriott at Essex House is right here by Central Park as well. That often has points reservations. If you wanna stay in Times Square, I'm a Marriott guy, a lot of people hate the Marriott Marquis, I actually kind of liked it when I've stayed there. It's cool if it's your first time to New York City to actually stay in Times Square in the center of all the activity. Marriott Marquis is like a few thousand rooms, it's one of the biggest Marriotts there is, but it really does feel in the center of the action. Okay, the tenth thing you need to know before you come to New York City, and this is the last item is about food! Now, Chris, how could you wait 'til 10 to mention food? But, I'm not ending without talking about food. It's also really neat when it's all covered in white, a winter wonderland. In the summer you can take boats out on some of the lakes. I think I mentioned it before, though, there's no subway across Central Park or that runs through it, so if you're going through Central Park you'll be doing a lot of walking, but it's neat if you're spending a week in Manhattan to get away from the noise and the cars and things like that and just experience this greenery.
But, you know that you're close to civilization, 'cause the high rise buildings are out there just in the back. The other really neat park in New York City, it's called the High Line, it's one of New York City's newer parks, so a lot of people don't know about it. Well, actually a lot of people know about it, but a lot of new visitors to New York, or people who lived here and haven't been here recently don't know about it. It is a disused portion of elevated rail line that's been converted into a linear park. I've got a video on the High Line, you can click here for the info card, or on this side, wherever it shows up. Or, find the link in the description below to watch it at the end after you're watching this one, but it's a really cool attraction. If you're gonna go visit the High Line though, don't visit it on weekends because it can be super, super busy down in Chelsea, but it's pretty neat on a week day when it's not overly packed. The eight thing to know before you come to New York City is about the Big Apple attractions. Yes, New York City has many big attractions, so some of the things you won't want to miss while you're here is the Statue of Liberty. But if you're going to the Statue of Liberty, make sure to book ahead of time. There's ferries you have to take to get there, there's limited tickets, and then there's more, even limited tickets to actually go inside the Statue of Liberty. Make those months in advance. If you can't get tickets to see the Statue of Liberty, well, that Staten Island Ferry that I mentioned, ride on that, it'll take you close to the Statue of Liberty, you can at least get your pictures nearby, and that doesn't cost you any money. There's the Empire State Building. But, if you want to see the Empire State Building, well, you can't from itself. The Empire State Building has really long lines to go up to the observatory. I would recommend the top of the Rock, which is the observatory at the top of Rockefeller Center. That one has an open air viewing area, and I actually think it's a better observatory with less lines than the Empire State Building. There's another new observatory at the New World Trade Center. That one's pretty cool 'cause that building is just super, super tall. It can be pretty expensive. Pro-tip, if you're military, free admission to the World Trade Center Observatory at the top there. I've also got a video on the World Trade Center Observatory. Click one of these cards or find the link in the description to watch that. We don't play phone games very often. - Crane Game.

Oh. - No, wait, yes, no. Did I do it? Ah, this is hard! Wait, damn it. Wait, okay, okay. I think I understand. - Let's go, boy. If that doesn't get it, I'm gonna be really mad. Come on. There it is! What? No, okay, hold on. There's something wrong. There's no way. That was perfect. I don't understand. It's almost falling off. - And stop. Overshot it a little bit. Oh, come on, come on. All right, fling it up. Fling it up. You son of bitch. All right, juicer. It just wasn't meant to be. - I have to win something today. Okay, we're gonna play the Snoopy Afro. Let's check out the angles. All right. Just there. Think I got a sweet spot. I think I got a sweet spot. Turn, bitch. Oh, [bleep]! Okay, we're getting somewhere. - Ooh, and then-- oh, wait. I'm already confused. Wait, did I do it right? Oh, okay, wait. How do I push it, though? There's eleven people watching me right now? Oh my God, no! They're like, "Oh, she doesn't know what she's doing." - Look at this fish. I want the big fish. Whoa, how the [bleep] do you win this? Get a prize when you land a ping pong ball in the red hole. Oh, this is so cool. - He's right there. End it right there. Oh, okay. We'll see how this one... Nope, I just stabbed it. Wait, wait, wait a minute. Ah! I was so close. - Oh, shoot. Ah! What is that? It's stu-- Oh, oh, oh. What? What is this? - What's happening? All right. We're picking up. We're picking stuff up. We got a couple. This seems good. All right, drop it. Drop it. Aw, [bleep]. I'm gonna win this. I think this is pretty good odds. - We got two ping pong balls instead of one ping pong ball. I think that's lucky. It got it! What, yes. - It was so close. Wait, wait. Did I do it? (laughs) I did it. That is so cool. - I don't even sleep with stuffed animals anymore, but I'm gonna make an exception for this guy. He's from Japan, dude. He's a foreigner. He needs someone to just love him in America and that's supposed to be me, but I can't get him! Oh my God. I'm so close! I'm so close. I've been going from the front to the back, is proving... Yes! I got it! - Oh, that's a good grab. That's some good action right there. Two side by side. Oh, we did it! Whoo, we got it! We got the fish. - I'm scared. There it is. Dude. It's just moving the box up and down. - (FBE) We're gonna have to call it quits. - Dude, all those coins for nothing. - Come on, baby. You gonna come home to me, baby. You gonna come to the states.

Yes, yes, yes. - (FBE) So, this just came in the other day for you. - Oh my God. - Baby, come to papa. - Oh, it came all the way from Japan? That's insane, so that must be where the crane was. All right, how am I gonna go about this boy? They taped it up real nice, too. - When you told me about this and when we first started playing the game, I thought it was legit, but not really. In the back of my mind, they might not send it, because it is a video game in Japan. - This end there and then just (laughs) Oh, look at him. - It's so cute. I haven't seen it, but it's so cute. Oh, this is-- they fit a lot into that little box. - Oh my God, it's so big. Oh my God, it's so big! What? Oh my God, oh my God. He's so soft, guys. Where's his face? Oh my God! - Oh my God, it's even better than I thought it was going to be. Look at his mouth. - It's a purse and it looks-- I don't know if this is a bear. - Come here. Pop your little ears out. Look, I can pop his ears out. Aw, look at him. - You play those games and you feel like they're rigged 100% of the time and it's not. - It's from Japan, man. That's so cool. Look at him.

Book Review: If you're in sales , you need to read this book!
Rating: 5 stars Hi Folks I just finished the book and I just wanted to say that if you are in sales and you want to sell, you need to own , read, and refer back often, to this book. This is one a rookie might want to carry with them for the first year of their selling career and refer to. Mr. Bettger, even though written in 1947, lays it down simply and to the point in how to get the sale done. I am a life insurance agent and I have put all of Mr.Bettger's advice and instruction into my daily work and, believe me, him being "DA MAN!" is timeless. I have met all bonuses and I have been agent of the month and I've seen, in my clients, some of the very things he saw in his back in the day when he was doing the job and I have had great success. The book is timeless and a great resource for rookie sales staff, as well as the folks that have been doing the job for a while and need a fire lit under their behind. It's a great read. Writing service is available fot you always. As one of the other folks said, it would also help you if you were not in sales. On top of the fact as he talks about all the experiences he had in life insurance sales, there is a historical value as he talks of knowing Dale Carnegie and some of the people and places and names of that era....It's an amazing book! If you want to get this thing done right,learn from the master... get the book! God Bless. So, that is it for today's article. Thank you so much for reading! I hope you liked it. If you did, and even if you did not, please share your opinion the the comments section below. I am very interested in what you have to say, it helps me to make my blog a bit better every day. Thank you again and have a nice day! AK is one of the trickier hands to play when playing No Limit Texas Hold’em. There really is no correct way to play AK but there are many times when players can over play AK and get themselves into a world of trouble. I am going to give you a couple spots in which I see people over play AK or perhaps ways to avoid losing your stack with AK. I am going to start with playing lower limits early in a tournament.
When playing in the early stages of poker tournaments I always prefer the conservative side so I can preserve my chips for the later stages where I can make more profitable moves. Nonetheless when playing in the early stages there are many ways to play to ask without getting yourself into trouble. First off, when facing a raise from an earlier position it’s not a bad move to just call in these situations. Let's say the blinds are 15/30 and the initial raiser makes it 90 and you have 3000 chips in front of you; calling in this situation wouldn’t be a terrible idea. Upon calling you are seeing a cheap flop with not risking a lot of chips and if you completely miss the board you can get easily get away from the hand. I don’t mind this play at all as a matter of fact and I have been doing it more and more in recent tournaments Now if you prefer not to call and you would rather raise in this situation then all the power to you. Some people prefer the raise because maybe with a raise they can take the hand down pre-flop without any worries, they may want to create a certain image at the table or perhaps they don’t know any better or they may even believe once they receive AK they must raise no matter the situation. When playing online I see a lot of new players raise with the AK and then go broke when they completely miss the flop because they are unable to lay their hand down. This is what I mean by overplaying the hand and it happens to often. If you are going to raise before the flop with AK, this doesn’t mean you have go broke it if you miss the flop. Too often I see players have AK and when the flop comes Q 10 3 they try to make heroic type plays just to try and win the hand often times it's because they have Ak and they don’t know how else to play it. First and foremost, the market can and does dictate what is successful. Yes, manufacturers can influence the consumer (through marketing and advertising and the like), but the end choice falls on the shoulders of the consumer. If you're selling something that the market doesn't want, you're going to have problems.
Second, tastes change. The wine market may be calling out for sugars and oaks now, but in thirty to fifty years, this will most assuredly not be the case. Also, consistency is a favorable asset. For the longest time, wines have been able to sell themselves as having good years and bad years. With new technologies and the introductions of new enzymes to play with, this aspect is going to change within the industry. Yes, there will still be variation from year to year, but unless a winery can control that variance, they'll put themselves at risk each and every year. There will always be a market for high end wines, regardless of the technologies used to get to the results. Or to put it another way, good Bordeaux won't go away. But several of the wineries who produce good Bordeaux probably will. When people start talking about tradition, that's probably a good sign that they're worried about their job. If I had to guess at what the future holds for the wine industry, I'd take a look to the beer industry for guidance. You'll have several, if not dozens of big names delivering a very controlled product that tries to deliver the public what that public wants. Then you'll have smaller wineries that deliver to the public new (or in this case, old) tastes. My only concern is that some wines need massive aging to get those complex tastes, and that the financial risks might be too great for smaller wineries to be able to take them. Meanwhile, the world wine market is opening up for places in South Africa, Chile, New Zealand and Australia. Europe has to understand that this box is already open and they have to deal with this influx sooner rather than later. Because later will probably be too late. Let it be said, on the record, that when it comes to economics I am a free-market advocate with several caveats, some of those being:
1) Producers must be paid a wage that allows them to feed and house their family well, and provide them further economic opportunities. 2) Regulation of the product if said product has a low to moderate probability of harming consumers if it were to go unregulated. I mention the above, as I'm about to discuss globalization and the wine industry, and it's best to understand my perspective so you know where my biases are. There is a wonderful article from the German Magazin Der Speigel, entitled In Vino Vilitas with the by line "European Wine Fighting for Survival". The article shows the state of the European Winemaking community from several perspectives, many of which make it difficult to choose whom one should cheer for or against. I say the above words with difficulty, because part of me likes the tradition of wine, often more than the wine itself. I like to sit in front of a fireplace with a glass of wine and play online casino. Therefore when you have the French wineries upset because there are non-French wineries that deliver a consistent product using non-traditional methods(read American methods), it's difficult to feel sorry for them. It's even more difficult to feel sorry for them when their own population is turning away from their wine tradition. And yet, I can't cheer for the new companies either, who have no problem with developing a postmodern French wine mythology in order to take advantage of the non-European consumer's ignorance of what French Wine has meant in the past. In reading the following paragraph from Der Spiegel, I couldn't help but feel as if these companies love to patronize to their audience. Not only do I find the above patronizing, but also offensive to those who know a fair amount of French history, or at least a bit of the book by Dumas. From my own perspective there are several points which every company needs to understand, specifically in the global economy. |
