Dr Seuss Party Wording

Chapter 129. "TO PLAY POKER?

Poker is a card game they call "bet" (and this is clear to my personal observations).



There are many forms of poker, the best known being known as POKER COVERED, which is dealt 5 cards face down, and there are a number of discards, which strips the cards do not serve to make the best hand and you are such replaced by others, with which you tried to make the winning combination (looks like this ONCE).

Another popular method is Texas Hold'em, which is dealt two cards face down and you have to make combinations with other five cards are placed in the center of the table, these last face up.
These cards are distributed as follows. First the flop, which put the first three cards, then TURN, which gets one more card and finally the River, which reveals the last card.
You have to do a combination, including the five table and your two, the best move of up to five cards.

And this is the type of poker that I like and I'll talk.

The first thing is to choose who is the dealer, or dessert, that is, the last bet.
This player will always be set for the rest of the players and the cuplier with a tab.
This tab is passed from player to player, in clockwise the relog, as they finish their hands.



The way to know who will be the dealer is taking the highest card. Who take the highest card is the dealer.

Once this choice the dealer or dessert begins to play.
There are two people at the table who are forced to bet without seeing their two cards, called Small Blind and Big Blind, which are respectively positioned at the left of the dealer or dessert,
These two players have to put your bet will or will not continue playing at the table after seeing his cards.
Let's say the small blind is required to put 10, because the big blind has to put 20 (always twice as big small).



From there, everyone will want to bet at least to match the big blind bet. Like the small blind. Once everyone has posted, if anyone has upped the ante, the last word belongs to the big blind, which can raise the bet or fold.

At that time, the first community cards dealt, or flop.
At this time a round again of betting, players can bet or check.
When all players have matched or passed, shall be allocated the turn, followed by another round of betting.
And finally the river is dealt, and then another round of raise, call, pass ... Once completed
bets, as long as there is a minimum of two people who have matched, the lifting of the letters and, logically, the one with the highest hand wins.

And the order of moves is as follows:



highest card. Bearing in mind that whenever the highest card is the ace, followed by the king, queen and so on up to 2.



couple. As you can see, two of a kind.



Two pair. What's a double date. Two pairs of identical cards.



Trio. Need I say they are three of a kind?



Escalera. A sequence of consecutive letters need not be the same suit.



Color. Five cards of same suit.


Full
. A combination of trio and couples.



Poker. Four of a kind.



straight flush. A consecutive series of letters whether they should be the same suit.



Royal Flush. A series of consecutive cards of the same suit, starting from 10 and finish in as. (If you get this hand in a game you can bet all the money, the house, the car ... that in Texas Hold'em is the hand that has more value)

The Texas Hold'em is played without wildcards. I personally like to play without wildcards. But there are ways in which poker is played with them.
In the event that play with them, the wild card (I do not think you do need to explain, but just in case) has the value of any letter. Playing with wildcards
, the highest ranking hand is:



The repoker. It is a combination of four cards of the same but the wild card.
If you play a wild form of poker, if you get a repoker DE ASES you can bet all the money, the house, car, husband, wife, children ...

After learning the moves always have doubts ... What to do if two people at the table have exactly the same play?
Very simple. One play can do it using either your two letters and only one of them.
Let's say you are in a color table composed of the letters 8, 10, 4 and 2 of spades, and a King of clubs. One player has his hands is a jack of spades and 9 of hearts, and the other a 6 of spades and 9 of clubs. In this case the hand is divided between the two that the highest card, the King is on the table. If one of us had had AS AS holder that would win the hand. If instead of a KING-table, had a letter J below the first named player, that player would win the hand. Have you understood?



Well. I do not want to encourage anyone here to make authentic atrocities playing this game, which is just as fun as treacherous.
But at the same time, if you entered the bug, or already do, to play this exciting game of cards, knowing that it is very important that we bear a value to the chips. Play poker with worthless cards is like playing basketball without a basket.
not tell you that you apostéis all your savings, but a couple of euritos, dinner, drinks ... something that makes no sense to play like crazy. (Attention poker players in the Facebook)
If someone has already tried and played poker really mean what I say. Playing poker on facebook, or any of these pages on-line games, in which only strips worthless chips is not worth learning, or to train or anything. That's not poker. I am very sorry if anyone thought that having thousands of millions of chips in one of those games, without having ever played a real table, playing wise.
When playing poker for real learning. Real people. Looking at his face instead.
Trying to guess what she wears. Knowing that not necessarily the one with the best hand will win. It is a psychological game that is not throwing chips at tun tun.
quite a few years I've been playing poker, always with friends and never more than 5 euros per game, and after so many years is now when I learned to play well.

is very important to vary your play so that your opponents do not know that you are never done.
mark you should not bluff with all your money. Bluffing is fun but can be very harmful if abused.
abuse is advisable not to raise the blinds. From there you can improve your game considerably. (Another sin of which I call "players facebook").
If you have lost a strong hand (enough of your money) it is advisable that the next you retire and recompose your game, and that frustration can cloud your view.

Well, it's all the pescao sold here. Playing poker
head, among friends, with a drink and a chat can be, in fact it is a wonderful way to spend a quiet night. Care
meteis with whom you play. Again, I repeat and I risk to be weighed, but this game can be fun or your ruin.





And here an example of how many times reality and fiction go hand in hand.

Ct Regodstry Of Deeds

Chapter 128. 16 / 9 4 / 3 PLEASE DO NOT tear me down

The cinema was invented by the Lumiere brothers in 1895, so far unclear.
The first film was shot: The workers leaving the factory, hitherto entirely clear.

A movie is neither more nor less than projected still images one after another, 24 per second, giving sensational movement.

People fled in terror with the projection of a train approaching the screen, since they believed that this was going to leave it and running over everyone.
A great invention.

The filmmakers made films and people saw them on film, so far unclear.

Then, in the mid 20's, television was invented, with very rudimentary systems. And
mid-twentieth century we have the television, almost, as it is known today.

That's when he started a "war" between television and film.
And in 1953, against this powerful enemy conbatir film, Henry Koster directs The Robe, the first film shot in cinemascope.

And what is the cinemascope? Well
is a film that compresses a normal image, which when decompressed during projection can achieve a ratio which can vary between 2.66 and 2.39 times wider than high.

The film showed us panoramic images, rectangular, wider than long, images that filled our eyes.
What television did to avenge such an act?
mutilate.

me explain ...
Here in this picture looks different types of image that we can find:



More or less what we are seeing right?

Visualize because it is a movie screen.
is a big white rectangle hung on a wall, and we can find, usually with these types of images:


Sample image
2.35 / 1 O that is, 2.35 times longer tall.



Example 1.85 / 1 O which equals 1.85 times longer than high (the aspect of modern image of the televisions in 19 / 9)



Example 1.33 / 1 or which equals 1.33 times wider than high. (The picture looks old television 4 / 3)

few years ago, when a movie is spent its passage film to VHS obsolete, was literally crippled.
Well, there are two ways to pass a widescreen display, either 2.35 / 1 or 1.85 / 1 TV format 1.33 / 1.
One is to leave it intact, as the director's plan and put that many people have defined as "annoying scratches up and down the screen, or cut from one side to another to make a rectangular image in a square.

Here are some examples of the latter:





There were a few directors who opposed his film was mutilated, people like Steven Spielberg, who demanded that the list Schindler VHS hit the market in its original aspect (1.85 / 1), Mel Gibson, who did the same with Braveheart (2.35 / 1), or George Lucas himself in the latest editions of the trilogy galactic VHS (2.35 / 1 .)

Then God came to see us movie lovers with the release of the DVD format home theater respected by 99.9% of its titles on widescreen movies.
Only very occasionally can find titles like Insomnia by Christopher Nolan, that of a 2.35 / 1 have left us in a 1.85 / 1, or films such as THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, which directly has been completely crippled.

avenging Television is still less maim scale television series like House, Grey's Anatomy 24, which have to be issued at 1.85 / 1 was issued at 1.33 / 1.
(For those of you a TV-16 / 9 you can put the image in 4 / 3, and everything you see in black is what you are tango).

So film buffs or people who do not want to direct anyone to decide that much of the image must see in a movie, choose movies that respect the original image aspect and stop nagging.



I hope you found it interesting the subject.
I put here an example in motion.



And here one in which directors such as Martin Scorsese, Michael Mann, Curtis Hanson and Sydney Pollack explains how bad it is to remove the widescreen format movies.

My Doctor Says I Have High Cholesterol

FILM Chapter 127. DESTROY ALL THE TIME.

to paraphrase my brother in his brilliant post , can a movie go too far?.
By radical, clear-cut and definitive ... SI.



irreversible Gaspar Noe ... Say
disturbing is an understatement. Say
disturbing is an understatement. Say
provocative to say the least.

So what of this movie? I have
not clear. It is always better to see a movie to hear about it ... and no doubt this is a film that gives a lot of talk.

Starring Monica Bellucci , Vincent Cassel and Albert Dupontel , worried the audience from the first second of film, making you feel uncomfortable, disgusted with the human being in every sense.
A movie that makes you feel like the same characters. A film that is difficult to bear.
Not pretty, not is harmonic. It's uncomfortable to watch. It's sickening. It makes you sick to your guts. (Literally as well, as there are scenes that have a frequency of sound that makes your insides dance the hula - hop).



A rape scene in real time, and without cuts. See every disquieting minutes cruel act.



A scene where a guy smashed his head with a fire extinguisher, also without any cut. (Blessed are computers in the service of directors with sick minds).

A film that seems to me to be seen. Must be experienced at 100%.
has to be swallowed, digested and expelled from the body through the hole is where the back loses its good name.



Irreversible.
Because time destroys everything.
Because some acts are irreparable.
Man is an animal.
Because the desire for revenge is a natural impulse.
Because most crimes remain unpunished.
Because the loss of the loved one destroys like lightning.
Because love is the origin of life.
Because all history is written with semen and blood. Because
premonitions do not alter the course of events.
Because time reveals everything.
The best and worst.


my friend tells me Jon has found a place so you can watch the movie online , so I will put it here, but hey, seeing a slightly above, the quality leaves a tad be desired, not to mention that the film is in a lamentable 1.33 / 1 instead of its original appearance is 2.35 / 1 (for which you do not understand this, inform you that I explain in the entry on Friday).

My Baby Finger Is Numb

Chapter 126. And off we went to El Escorial (NA, half hour drive)

Well, here we go ...
This Weekend was the Third Meeting of miniatures in El Escorial (Madrid).
And knowing that there was my good friend Dani stating figures that had, brilliantly painted, we went to see him there.



We my brother and me. In half an hour we planted in that place like no other. And that we came across a bike race and the civil guard we had bordered the shoulder of the road until you pass the head of the race, the peloton and taken down, all is said, wore a slut who could not with her.



And here are my brother and I enjoy the wonderful views (well, after the photo, when we turned around and looked at the views), which had from the terrace cafe at the center where the meeting took place.



not remember exactly what happened to the look with this perverse and evil look, but hey, sure thing I was told ...



Dani had exposed three wonderful figures, which were:



That piece of Predator, which is impressive as in photo, see it live and live and is breathtaking.
A red demon, which is also wonderful.



the other hand no less wonderful, Headless Horseman (here with the head of Christopher Walken) from the film Sleepy Hollow.



And how could it be otherwise, stunning Predator took a prize more than deserved, that what I said Dani was the Silver Award.
Come on, I would have given the gold, but good.

And we went there after seeing so many works of art, even have a Pepsi.
We went to Media Markt and bought Majadahonda Irreversible, Gaspar Noe, of which we speak later.
Well, Kind regards to all of you
