More On The Endings Of Poker Tournaments

Previously I’ve written about tournament end games, and about how the best defense can be a good offense. In the “good offense” article, I wrote about an event during the Russian Revolution where a band of 125 anarchist cavalry soldiers were surrounded by twenty times as many communist opponents. The 125 attacked and routed their enemy.

Let’s examine that a little closer. Suppose you were one of the anarchists. You would know that the communists were completely treacherous, brutal and untrustable. So what would you do? Surrender sheepishly? Simply fall on your sword and die? Not much life expectancy in those choices.

The most sensible course of action would be to attack, and fight ferociously for your life. Your chances of winning, and surviving, would be small, but they would be greater than zero. Even one in a million is better than zero in a million.

In this way, being one of the 125 attacking anarchists would be pretty easy. You just have to fight with everything you have, with no illusions about your dim hopes. You might die, but taking some of the people wanting to kill you with you would have some appeal in itself.

But now put yourself in the shoes of a communist soldier. As one of 2500 men surrounding a force 1/20th the size of your own, you’d have to feel pretty good. But now imagine those 125 doomed anarchists charging straight at you!! All of sudden you don’t feel so secure. One hundred twenty-five desperate men willing to do anything, no matter how brutal, to try and survive are now hurling themselves directly at you. You may think that your group of 2500 will still prevail, but do you want to be one of the 80 or 120 or 350 of your group that dies in the battle to kill the 125?

In the historical battle, the 125 sent the 2500 into headlong retreat. Even though the 125 were greatly outnumbered, there were still enough of them to inflict much mortal harm on the specific individuals who directly tried to kill them.

The poker tournament lesson here is that you must not go quietly into the night. If you are going to lose, go down fighting. And then also, even when it looks like you will lose, it is possible that you still might win. That means that you should not give up, but more than that, it is vital that you fight your battles when you are still a threat. Fight while you can still hurt your opponent. If you are short stack at a final table, every one of your opponents might think you will be the next to be eliminated, but that doesn’t mean they will want to put themselves at risk to eliminate you. They don’t want to be one of the 80 or 120 or 350 to die just to kill you.

Royal Vegas Poker RoyalVegasPoker.com

There are several aspects to this. First, don’t blind yourself down to a pathetic stack, like a single chip. Somebody with one chip will never scare anybody. You want to be seen as 125 desperate, raging anarchists, not a one chip cupcake. Hurl yourself into battle while you still can wreak havoc like 125 anarchists.

When it gets down to head-up this concept doesn’t really exist, but when you have at least two opponents make it so your opponents know that killing you may hurt or wound them significantly. Be aggressive, exude recklessness even, and do it while you still can damage your opponents. If you are three-handed, and they both have 100 chips while you have thirty chips, neither of your opponents will be anxious to play pots with you if you are aggressively attacking. But if you only have five chips, you won’t scare either at all. Your game boils down to simply having to turn over the best hand time and again. Better to attack and get your opponents to retreat. Make them scared of you.

Of course this means that you will lose earlier sometimes, but I’m not advocating a reckless style of play overall. I’m just saying that you should make your “final” stand sooner than most players tend to. Make it so your final, desperate battle for survival is even less appealing to your opponents than it is to you.

They may get you, but make sure it is after a fight.

Women’s Role in Church and Society

Following is a list of question that, I believe, can lead to an
in-depth discussion on this most vital issue. I hope you can
take advantage of this opportunity to avail yourself of these
questions in any appropriate situation. After this, I added a
few comments of my own.

QUESTIONNAIRE ON WOMEN’S ROLE IN CHURH AND SOCIETY

1- Should women be given equal opportunity along with men in
employment in all cases? What about the military? What about
sports? If not, explain.

2- Should women receive equal pay for equal work alongside men?

3- Do you feel one should lower the quality standards in a
certain situation solely to prevent gender discrimination?

4- Who has the major responsibility for nurturing a child in a
marriage; Or financially supporting the home: The man or the
woman? Why A) What is the prime purpose of a marriage? B) What
are the economic factors that could affect your conception of
what a marriage arrangement should be, and what could be done to
change this situation if it needs changing? C) What are the
career interest factors that could affect your conception of
what a marriage arrangement should be, and what could be done to
change this situation if it needs changing?

5- Are the woman’s major responsibilities in life to have
children and take care of the home?

6- What are the physical and emotional differences between men
and women that might affect their role in life?

7- What might be the role of a woman in Church? What about
ordination to any of the following offices: Deacon, Elder,
Pastor, Priest or Bishop?

8- If man were to rule over woman at the beginning of time
because woman came from man according to Genesis 2:21-23, why
did God say that man should rule over woman after the Fall (Gen
3:16)? A) Could you say that man and woman became equal or
helpmates once again after the death and resurrection of Jesus
Christ (Gal 3:28)?

9- Could one of the reasons why Jesus only chose men as Apostles
be that even though the Gospels are in the New Testament, they
are really part of the Old Testament whereby women were still
thought to be submissive to men as a result of the Fall?

10- Doesn’t being the head and being submissive in and of
themselves create an inequality?

11- In reading Paul’s letters, should you consider that
everything that Paul wrote as being a universal truth, or should
you distinguish within his writings what’s universal and what’s
locally situational?

12- If women are treated more as unique individuals, instead of
as sex objects, would this lessen the need for pornographic
scenarios some men have?

13- Do you believe that as more and more churches use ordained
women clergy, women clergy would be more acceptable within
Christian religious circles?

14- As more churches accept women clergy, do you feel
Christianity offers women more equality than any other major
world religion?

15- Do you feel a woman pastor could more effectively counsel a
women counselee than a male pastor could? Why, or why not?

16- Do you feel that if more and more Christians experience the
pastoral leadership qualities that some women possess, that
women clergy ordination would become less and less of a divisive
issue within the Christian Church?

17- Do you feel one should never be judged solely by gender as
to what one can or can not do in life? I do, but what do you
think?

On Internet, I asked question # 1, and received 9 responses,
which were really mixed in opinions, but I do feel that there
should be an equal opportunity for women to be employed in all
professions without lowering the entry standards in such
professions, and even if some professions don’t seem to lend
themselves to femine abilities. They should still at least have
the opportunity to prove otherwise. And women should also
receive equal pay for equal work as well. But if they just want
to be housewives instead, that’s OK too. What do you think about
this whole area of concern?

A 2nd Internet Question: WHAT IS THE ROLE WOMEN SHOULD PLAY IN
LIFE?

Corbin says: Although a number of respondees mentioned that the
role of men and women can be different depending upon the
circumstance, which I agree with, I believe women should be free
to pursue any activity that they so desire, and feel qualified
to undertake. In looking at Scripture, it states paraphrasing
“In Christ, there is neither male nor female” (Gal 3:28), so
that much of what it says about women in Scripture could be a
situational local truth according to Paul, and not a Universal
Truth. Many on these websites also interpret Scripture literally
in that every word that’s in the Bible comes from the mouth of
God. I disagree in that the Bible, I believe, could be thought
of as a baby carriage carrying the baby, and we have to
distinguish between Universal Truths (the perfect baby) and the
situational local truths (the baby carriage, which can have some
errors on it) concerning the role that women might play. And why
Jesus only chose men as Apostles instead of women could be that
theGospels were written as really part of the Old Testament
whereby women became free again after the resurrection. What do
you think?

The Mobile Freelancer: Freedom to Make a Living from Anywhere

There has been a huge amount written about the benefits of
working from home.

Individuals run small businesses from home. Large corporations
even set up home offices for many of their employees.

Right now most freelancers work from a home office. Some may
invest in modest office space, but most of the freelancers I
know work from their homes.

It’s good to have such a short commute time in the morning!

>> But what if you want more?

With smaller, more powerful laptops, improved internet
connectivity worldwide and a host of cellular and web services
to choose from…we’re no longer confined to working from home.
Now we can work from almost anywhere.

This opens up a host of new possibilities in our lives.

* We can travel the world, and still keep working

* We can live almost anywhere, out in the country or even in a
different country

* We can travel to visit clients, attend seminars or pitch for
new business in other cities without losing touch with our
current work and customers

The list goes on and on.

>> Our only limitation is our fondness for old work habits

As freelancers we are literally free to work from most parts of
the world.

So why don’t we all strike camp and explore the world?

There are many practical reasons, including the needs of other
members of our families and communities.

But be careful when you list the reasons why you absolutely
can’t work from anywhere other than your home or office.

How many of those reasons are absolutely unchangeable, and how
many have you listed simply because old habits die hard?

* Is it truly impossible for you to work for a while from a
rented house in Southern Italy?

* Is it absolutely out of the question for you to rent a cottage
in the country for a month or so?

* And is that dream you had about moving to Mexico or Panama
really and truly impossible?

With any one of these options, you can plug your laptop in and
keep working. And nobody need even know where you are!

>> Some more modest ambitions

Even if you don’t want to use mobile technologies to make
dramatic shifts in your life, you can still get out from behind
your desk from time to time.

You can work from the park, from the beach, from a local coffee
shop….from an airport, on a plane, from a city you are
visiting. The possibilities are endless.

>> As a freelancer, you are free

That’s what we are, we’re FREElancers. And now we have access to
technologies that allow us to unplug and work from just about
anywhere.

Isn’t there an opportunity here to make our lives a little more
interesting and adventurous?

From Spouses to Lovers *again*

tune-up a stale relationship in 3 easy steps
Being taken for granted happens in any long-term relationship, friendship or marriage. With the busy schedules and outside concerns faced by married couples, compounded by children, it’s easy to let little things slide — the first to go usually being together-time and intimate niceties.

There are simple ways of rediscovering the person you married, getting back to the days when a conversation was more than a grocery list, a shouting match or a wall of silence.

Be Polite

When you are engaged in hostilities with your mate, the gloves come off pretty fast. At times, you’re probably nicer to your egotistical boss or co-worker than you are to the father of your children. Try using the same level of socially accepted veneer at home and see what happens.

Engage in some small talk; something funny that happened at work; an interesting article you read in the newspaper; a proud moment in the day of your child. Not every conversation with your partner has to be significant or pertain to underlying relationship issues, but it is important to have some peaceful verbal exchanges.

And it’s just as important not to think rude thoughts: when you automatically refer to your better-half as that “so-and-so”, even silently, you are being very counter-productive (although probably honest). Pretend your thoughts are amplified and heard by all.

Smiles are Contagious

If your (umpteenth) request about garbage removal (or bathing the kids or fixing the leaky faucet or whatever) is being ignored, do not allow yourself to be enveloped in the standard scenario of escalating arguments, demands, and blame. Heave a huge grin onto your face, grab the recalcitrant’s hand and white-lie heartily: “Here, I’ll help ya! I’m all gung-ho!” Once he’s on his feet and you’ve pushed him into position, it seems that gravity takes over and the job gets done.

I admit to once leaving the 20 (or so) full bags of stinking garbage in such a way that they blocked access to our front door. My husband couldn’t help but roar with laughter at the sight and my “hint” was taken.

Injecting humor into annoying (or worse) situations can be a wonderful de-fuser; I even sometimes have the presence of mind to pretend not to hear my husband make an uncalled-for remark, plastering a vacant smile on my face and saying: “Pardon me?” You don’t have to haul off each and every time, you know!

I am in no way advocating a rug-mat approach here, by the way. Your first aim is to make life, as it is, more pleasant for yourself - if that means not reacting to every single goad, and giving your husband a second chance to behave himself, why not? Once you are able to communicate in a meaningful manner with each other, you can deal with individual issues (perhaps one being hurtful offhand sarcasm).

Touchy-Feely

When you’re mad, you don’t hug much. Being physically intimate is not at the top of the pleasant list, unless it’s a stress-relieving workout with the punching bag.

However, touching is an important aspect when re-establishing trust and communication in a relationship and you can start small. Like mussing his hair with your oven mitt; or getting the kids involved for a “let’s cheer up dad” group hug; or sitting on his newspaper and tickling the scowl off his face until he begs for mercy.

As you feel comfortable, you can drop kisses on his hand (an exaggerated thank-you for doing some chore); you can rub his neck as you pass the computer; you can ask for a foot massage when you’re both on the couch.

That’s it??

Yup - simple, but it’s enough to re-connect. You’ve got to take it from there, you know. Deal with the personal matters. But when you’ve got a polite, funny and hands-on guy to deal with, the whole ball of wax takes on a different hue, n’est-ce pas?

The Island Off Stony Point - Book Review

Keith Sinteris and his wife Malena (the brains of the
operation) hire three skilled accomplices (Stony, Bartolo
and Duane) to kidnap three hostages from a monastery
along with the holy tabernacle containing consecrated
“bread”. For all her planning, Malena had no way of knowing
just how awry the hostage taking could go.

Detective Jessica Harding and FBI Agent Rob Dexter are on
the case. Strong willed and quick witted, Jessica puts the
FBI agent in his place from the moment the two were
introduced. Intrigued, Rob cannot get her out of his mind.
With so few clues, the odds are stacked against the two
“good guys”, yet they struggle on while the immense
ransom demands continue to haunt the Catholic Church.

This is a well-told story line involving a mysterious home on
an island that has a distinctive secret. The author uses
scenes such as the fantastic cave hideout, the lung-busting
chore of stashing loot and a magnificent storm to heighten
interest.

There are several unique aspects to this suspense-filled
novel over others in the adventure crime thriller genre. For
one thing, the two women are the strongest characters -
both leaders and quick thinkers, but on opposite sides. The
Island off Stony Point certainly conveys the inherent
goodness of people but also shows the great lengths that
desperate and driven people will pursue. I also thought it
was interesting that this is actually the second novel
involving the leading hostage character, a Father Martin -
who was in Regis’s first novel, The Oculi Incident.

Kudos to author Regis Schilken for this excellent novel!

Killer Business Headline Templates - So How Do You Write Killer Headlines in Minutes? You Cheat!

According to Branding and Advertising legend, David Ogilvy: 5 times as many people read the headline than they do the body copy in a sales message. This means that unless your headline actually helps sell what you’ve got to offer, you’ll have wasted 90% of your time, money and energy.

Now, you don’t need me to tell you 90% waste isn’t lean! So here are some quick and dirty headline templates that will turbocharge the power of your business cards, websites, sales letter, press releases and spoken presentations! But before we begin - just a few tips to bear in mind…

1. Experience Shows That Simply Surrounding Your Headline With ” ” (quotes) can increase readership by up to 27%. Why? Because when you put it in quotes, people think something important is being said.

2. Use Title Case. ALL CAPS doesn’t get more attention - it’s just harder to read. Sentence case lacks importance so avoid that one too.

3. Tell The Truth. It’s very easy to get carried away writing sensational headlines but make sure you can back up the promise with real results.

4. A Logo Isn’t A Headline. Your logo, snazzy graphics, special effects or even photographs should never take precedence over a good headline. Even if you love your logo - the people who you want to sell to probably couldn’t care less.

5. Test, Test, Test! If a mailing fails to get a response, or people just aren’t responding to the messages on your website it is almost 9 times out of 10 down to a poor headline that someone thought would work, but didn’t check. For a new product/offering, we’ll write several headlines and spend 80 percent of the total writing time perfecting them. Then we’ll do an equally split test mailing to find a winning headline.

Right on to the sneaky templates…
