Poker Training Materials

Posted on 21 February 2012 by Daniel

If you are an aspiring online poker player, then you need to always be learning.  There are numerous online training resources, but sometimes the overload of information makes it hard to determine which ones you should try.  Below are three recommended options for poker training software.

 

Poker Zion

Poker Zion has one benefit over other online poker coaching programs.  It offers you a structured approach to becoming a better poker players.  Whether you’re a rank beginner or have some experience, this site will improve your game.

 

Training programs are split up by micro-stakes and small to mid-stake.  Players received emails each week in their inbox with that week’s material which is essentially a set of videos.  Videos cover a variety of topics ranging from the basics, to advanced gameplay, and even how health and nutrition help you become a better player.

 

Poker Leak Buster

Poker Leak Buster is more of a specialized training program that analyzes and fixes poker leaks.  How it works is that the program analyzes your Hold’em Manager or Poker Tracker 3 database and looks for leaks and potential leaks.  Once leaks are found, you are given videos to watch that will help you identify and correct the leak in your game.

 

This software is a great value for those that have a relatively solid game but want to find ways to either increase their profits, take their game to the next level, or determine whether their downswing is variance or a fixable issue.

 

Ace Poker Drills

Ace Poker Drills is a three component program that is great for learning the concepts of odds and outs, pre-flop play, and hand equity.  The odds and outs drill will train you how to quickly spot and count your outs and figure out odds.  The pre-flop trainer works similar, but actually gives you actual game play situations where you must choose whether or not to play the hand.  The last section, the equity trainer, will teach you how to figure out your equity in hands based on various situations.

 

This software is one that is best geared towards beginning and inexperienced players.  With constant drilling, figuring out odds and equity can become second nature.  However, one must work in order to master these concepts.  This is one of the better poker training software tools to help you improve your skills in these areas.

Luxury Safari to Lake Bogoria

Posted on 06 February 2012 by Daniel

Among the many amazing tourist attractions in the beautiful land of Kenya is the breathtaking Lake Bogoria, which is salty and is on The Great Rift Valley’s floor. Its main attracting factor is the Hot water springs and geysers, which spring from underground and feed the Lake with water. In addition, there are thousands of birds, the most significant being the beautiful pink and white flamingoes, which color the Lake’s shores brightly. There are also many species of insects, and other unique flora and fauna. The lake is located about 220km from Nairobi. A visit here while on your Kenya safari would be most valuable.

The climate in the lake’s environs is hot and wet while the vegetation principally comprises of shrubs, grasslands and riverine forests. It is however scattered in most areas. With this kind of climate, tourists will find it convenient to carry light clothes, which will provide comfort in the warm weather. However, if you decide on an overnight safari, then one warm clothes will come in handy during the night. It is also advisable to bring along some mosquito repellent, to keep the annoying insects at bay. The people around the Lake mainly engage in pastoralism, though beekeeping is also very widely practiced. Visitors will rarely leave here without carrying for themselves a jar or two of the wild and sweet honey.

The hot springs and geysers result from unbefitting heating of the magma near the earth come which forces the water outward. The main contrast between a geyser and hot water springs is that a geyser emerges with a lot of force and energy and being very noisy while a spring emerges quietly and much softly. The water emerges with a temperature of 98.5oC. The steam that emanates from the springs and geysers is said by the locals to heal certain skin diseases. Tourists can engage in fun activities such boiling eggs in the extremely hot water. This is done with nets with handles. The body remains of dead birds especially flamingoes are scattered all around and the deaths may pop up due to burns.

Further ahead in the near distance is an admirable range of ridges and they provide a spectacular spot to shoot movies in the wild. It is such a wonderful and lovely place to take memorable and unforgettable photos, to take home for precious memories.  There are posh, luxurious and comfy lodges around, eminently notably being the Lake Bogoria Spa Resort. This would be a perfect place to have honeymoon in Kenya. The lodges provide specially cooked meals which are largely delicious, not forgetting enticing. They have comfy lounges, rooms and have verandahs where tourists can rest while enjoying the spectacular and breathtaking African sunset, amidst the singing of birds and smug evening breeze. There are also spas for manicures, pedicures, besides other beauty treatments.
