| hi! I'm a single mom that will be looking at retirement in the year 2006. as of now I have been studing and practicing the many arts and skill of gambling. This is not a easy task to take on and i believe i have the creditional to do this. I have only one supporter in this venture and that is the love and blessing of my only kid . I have started out with blackjack and found out i don;t have the indurances for the game.(details later) I keep myself inform with the Casino Players mag. and then poker was in my blood. I was a natural. My frist game was $20and the seat was the far left of the dealer. (thank-god)since i needed his help with what to say on the bets. well I had only one game to play and i was down to $3.00and my seventh card . (seven card stud) I had to leave right away from the game along with the pot I was almost late picking up my daughter from cheerleading game. a 45 min. drive. Oh yeah the pot i won was $45.00 with a straight flush of dimonds. the other guy betting against me only had a straight. Believe I know how many games it takes to come across such a hand. well here is the sad part . I'm afraid to enter any more poker games because I don't know how to call the hands. The good side of this story that I discover Caribban Stud Poker. I can't believe how easy it was to play a high percentage game in the casion faver and come out beating them. For ex:: $80 4hrs of play predicting the dealers face card with just the hand I have and playing knowing...... his hand to play or not. walk out with $275.00 ($75 extra from the wining the comp swipe). So was this just a fluke? went back the next morning look over the shoulder of the other players and moved from seat to seat to find where is my best prediction are played. I am about 40% accurate) which puts that 5.26% edge in my pocket. ( nice big pocket money) It also scare the hell out of the dealers. I wasn't getting to good of a looks from the floorperson either. I made sure I was real quiet when I was looking over the players shoulder so I won't freak them out. Now I just go to practice at the tables to keep myself sharp. when the money start to roll in from my 4 part time jobs. and practice at home with Hoyle casino. Love taking my chacterand busting her down from thousands to $200, play to see how for I can reach on the game. Well that it's. This has been bottle up inside me and there is nobody and I mean NOBODY to talk to about this amazing ability I have and can share with. Gambling life is a very loney life and i can understand that and willing to face these challenges. Thank you fro reading my story and if there is a chance for you to accept miltary programs that will pay for any of your schools you have i would like to be a future student. HIT THE ROYAL FLUSH!!!

| Hello Melody, I am not sure what you mean by your amazing ability. If you are talking about some kind of a psychic ability to predict cards I am troubled by your post. I won't get into a debate that can't be won. No one can prove you don't have this ability. I can say that if you deeply believe you have this ability, and you are wrong, you will lose everything you own. I want you to think about this every time you are out there gambling. I need to see something that says you are learning how to win through skillfull play before I am willing to offer any direction on how to accomplish this. If you want to learn something you need to have the desire to do so. If your only desire is to win through luck or some kind of psychic ability you will not take the time to properly analyze winning play formulas for a particular casino game. Doing it halfway only results in someone who thinks he can win, not someone who actually can. The result of this course of action is a pathetic drain of assets, less severe in its slope than someone who knows nothing, but ironically more certain in its totality. True believers don't ever stop. You have to concentrate your efforts on knowing, not believing. Best Regards, Count de Monet | ||

| if you think that you are going to be able to beat caribbean stud poker in the long run by being able to predict cards i think you might be in for a rude awakening. if you dont have the endurance to play blackjack, then you probably will not be able to beat any beatable game in the long run since there are very few such games and the skill and practice it takes is significant.

| Melody Your post makes me sad. I grew up in a relatively poor community, and when small casino opened up, many people became much poorer. Besides loosing money, you WILL loose the love and respect of you children. In your post, you said you were late for picking up you daughter. If you don't change your attitude soon you won't have a car left to pick her up. I know you don't want to hear that, so think about this. How many times in history has a casino lost money during a year? Not once! Why? Because they don't gamble. Every game they offer is garanteed to make them money. You may win in the short run, but it won't last. It never does. Carribean Stud is meant to be played recreationally for a short time. The longer you stay the better the house odds. It doesn't pay off enough. If you do the math between odds of making a hand and the payoff, its a loosing game for the players. Always has been, always will. | ||

| You have just experienced the well-known "Beginner's Rush". It will not last. If you want to make some money in the casino at modest limits ($10<) learn to play seven stud high and high-low. Stay away from house games such as Car. stud | ||

| hi melody as u can c from the answers this site is designed for pokerplayers and the pokerplaying progamblers. The reason why we can continue playing and make profit is in fact because especially poker and to a degree blackjack, I don't play it except for fun, are skill games. Believers like urself only brings up the profit in the long run...the guy u beat with diamonds will probably take back ur roll and some more if not careful with pairs and trips and straights..doesnt matter if u make a straightflush 2 times a month. | ||

| I think that everybody here is being particularly mean to you, just because you are a beginner and inexperienced in poker. I would be more than happy to sit down at a Texas Hold'em table any time. Come and play in Brantford at the 5-10 some time. As for the rest of the people here, it is always fun to bash a beginner who doesn't know anything about poker, but it is these very beginners that are the life blood of the game. The best can only make money when there are a lot of amateurs in the game and the amatuers can only make money off the giant fish. Without new blood, everybody would either run out of money or become competent, and either of those things are the death of the game. Such is life in a parasitic brokerage like our little game. | ||

| When someone starts hinting at psychic ability at playing Carribean Stud, I start looking for the link to the website where she's selling her "can't lose!" strategy cards..... ... and the responses to her post were generally acceptable (i.e what she deserved?), based on that IMO. I don't get the impression she's serious about learning poker, but I could be wrong. I'd like to see something a little less scary from her before I would take her seriously at all. | ||
