Welcome mobsters, if you are reading this blog for the very first time, I thank you for your initial interest. I think that if you give it a little time, you will find something that will peak your interest.
I am a semi-pro poker player and an author. I am currently working on several projects for publication, and will be discussing them on occasion in this blog. If you are a fan then I warn you,[...] Read more » Poker Tips, Bankroll Management and More (PART 17)
Prices gone up on all food products everywhere this year. Sometimes it's weather related (bad crop, shortage etc.), sometimes the market playing 'push or fold' with the potential investors and shareholders (you know - coffee and cocoa bean, sugar and corn products etc. - these products always priced by the market for the wholesaler in the food stock exchanges).
And say thanks to the gods you don't live where I live (Hungary - the heart chakra of Earth), since we have 27% sales tax (!!! I am not kidding !!!) on everything here, including food products and every other consumer goods, so I am literally bleeding money real badly whenever I want to eat something I can't make myself at home...

The bluff is a big part of any poker players arsenal but only if used sparingly can it be effective. If you bluff too often, other people can see right through it and are waiting to check raise you
If you have a strong read, that your opponent is weak, you can throw out one bigger bet (3/4 of the pot+) and you will see, that lot of the times, he will fold, especially on scary boards.

holy shitting balls. 27%?? I thought the UK was terrible with the 20% rate we have recently (usually it was 17.5%) and that burns a hole in the pocket. I hate seeing my receipts and seeing the government take most of my money.

G'day mates
It is only going to get worse as the USA dollar collapses and the worlds economies crumble along with the US currency. The world is getting sick and tired to the US$ as the worlds reserve currency. Hope you all are preparing for the bad times to come. best wishes to you all be cool
You kind of answered this to yourself. The dollar can't collapse since every major countries economy depends upon it's well being. Their debt chaining them to the chinese, german, french and scandinavian goverments directly - so until the FED not going to give up the right to print money, they will be alright. Nobodys interest making the USA go bankrupt, since that would bring not just economic but other major issues with it - and nobody wants that. Yes, some clean slate or another banker (or stock) bubble inevitable (just look at how the tech companies grow it's ridiculous), but the dollar won't collapse anytime soon.

G'day mate
The dollar is already in a controlled collapse. The US$ is only worth 5% of its value from 1972. I recommend you watch "The hidden secrets of money" by Mike Maloney It is a very interesting youtube series be cool
