    As nothing beats a Royal Flush, it is the most

    The Forbidden Game

    My earliest memory of poker  goes back to my
    childhood. I was one of thirteen children, we all
    learned to play card games. In winter especially,
    a good card game was the cheapest form of
    entertainment. I lived on a farm in rural North
    Carolina. We did not get electricity until 1960. We
    never got in door plumbing. There was no television.
    We played, whist, tonk, pitty pat, 500 gin rummy,
    crazy eights, 21 blackjack, hearts, a juvenile form
    of concentration, spades and poker. We had card
    playing rules. Among them were, no poker, no cards for
    money, no card games during thunderstorms,
    and no card playing on Sundays.  We were told that
    lightning would surely strike us dead if we played cards
    in a storm and that God would strike us down
    as the sinners we surely were if we played cards on
    Sunday. We never played cards of any type during
    a storm.

    Poker was one of our favorites, because it was taboo. It was the game of
    male adults. My father, brothers and the men played this game as a
    bonding tool. The games were loud and the stories were bawdy. Kids were
    not allowed. This made these games the most popular ones to watch and
    learn. It was entertaining and dangerous. It was also the game that we didn't dare
    allow our father to witness us playing. We quickly tumbled the cards
    together and started a less taboo game when he was around. We didn't know
    that some of the violent arguments between my mom and dad could
    be traced back to poker games. We didn't know that his many
    disappearances were to Atlantic City where he lost much of the money we
    earned as a farming family.

    As an adult, I have frequented casinos around the world. I am always
    surprised to see how many people play poker for money in a casino and
    they never play any other time. I have questioned many people about this
    practice and they generally laugh at my caution. I usually laugh with them
    because the joke is really on them if they cannot afford the money that they
    are losing.  Real poker playing requires practice, skill and luck.  Losing
    money that one cannot afford can cause many and varied personal and
    family problems.  Gambler's Anonymous is filled with thousands of persons
    that are caught up in the moment and cannot help themselves.  I think my father
    was one of those people.

    Video Poker is a new thrill for some. Old timers like my father would have
    rejected it for the lack of human contact, but it can hold many hours of fun
    for some.  I have a friend in St. Martin that can always been found in front of
    the video poker machine in her favorite casino preparing for the big
    tournament where she pits her wits against other human players.  She
    claims that the video poker helps to keep her sharp for the real games.
    What can I say, she seems prosperous.

    On line video poker is another outlet for poker lovers.  I use the instrument
    above to practice and brush up on my game.  I have never lost the amount
    allowed. I do okay when I concentrate and think about what I am doing.  
    Poker is a serious thing for me.  It has not become an obsession, but I do
    have some friends who frequent Atlantic City and Vegas that I have
    suggested they take a look at the 20 questions to ask yourself
    about gambling.

    If you insist on playing.  Practice and Polish your skills. Have fun. Stay
    informed. Check out some of the literature, dvd's, computer and video games or
    scroll down to the YouTube and watch some of the collected videos. Keep your
    head. Know when to stop.


    Practice. Memorize the hands before playing anywhere for money.

    Gambling Advice: The Ramblings
    of a slot junkie...

    I love Atlantic City, New Jersey, All of it. My Grandmother took me there when I
    was 17 and newly migrated from the south. I was wide eyed and eager to see
         the place that my father disappeared to at least twice a year and always in  
summer. The history is a fine film in black and white. The idea of the place being
a mecca of pleasure for over a century is intriguing. The story of the development  
of the boardwalk and the mansion that once stood over the ocean was an   
intriguing history lesson. It was said that water and the sea air had healing affects
on the human body. The vision of those early days often cross my mind as the  
reels of my favorite slots come to rest. I walk the boardwalk to clear my head and
feel the wind on my face and it is a refreshing experience.

          an Internet gambler.  Know that online gambling in the US is illegal. Paypal and  
Amex do not accept business from gaming sites. It is always a good idea to check
the background of any company before depositing.  Many scams in money   
laundering are suspected. If you must play, be an informed player.

    Get Up and Walk Away

    Regardless of whether you are gaming at Donald Trumps, Bally’s, or online one
    must have a plan.  Never  gamble blind. Set aside a specific amount of money
    to risk. When that amount is gone, get up, go outside, take a walk.  
    Get some air. Think about what you have lost or spent. When you put a certain
    amount in the machine and it  is doubled. Take it out. Perhaps begin with a stack
    of  5’s,   10’s or 20’s depending on how much you can afford.  Each time it is
    doubled, remove it. When the cash is gone, cash in the tickets and leave the
    casino.  If you are sitting at a machine that is  obviously losing, go home.  
    Tomorrow is another day.

    A long time gambler and friend in St. Martin once told  me never to gamble on the
    day they remove the cash from the casino and reset the machines. Find
    out  when that is. Christmas week I spent time in Atlantic City. I  wagered much
    more than I should have, perhaps it was because I had something on my mind that
    I should have dealt with. There were many times when I could have removed my
    money and gone home breaking even.  I didn’t leave the casino until I
    had gone way over my allotted amount. I decided that I was not going to worry
    about it. It was the first time that it had ever  happened.

    When I arrived home and opened the mail I found a check for the exact amount
    that I had advanced to me on my credit card. You have no idea the feeling that
    came over me. I guess I was forgiven that lapse of judgment.

    I realize that may never happen again. Casinos on this page approved by the
    Khanawake Gaming Commission.  Kahnawake is one of 8 communities that
     make up the Mohawk nation. MORE kahanwake information.
