Hooters Hit The Poker World

A lot of men around the country have enjoyed dinning at Hooters and now they can enjoy gambling at Hooters. The famous San Remo Hotel and Casino is now known as the Hooters Casino Hotel, a casino with women and food that men can drool over.

When I first heard of this I thought that it would be worth the trip the Vegas to check out this new travel destination. The hotel has 700 guest rooms, nine restaurants and bars and of course a Hooters restaurant. The Hooter Girls are given bright orange trucks to drive around the property as well.

Hooter girls have added new skills to their resume by taking on new jobs, they are now card dealers as well as sexy servers. The resort employs 250 Hooters Girls with various jobs. They are planning on bringing in a lot entertainers into the casino to entertain their growing amount of visitors. By looking through the information on the Hooters Hotel I can see that you’d better be able to party if want to spend some time in this Las Vegas hotspot. Parties in the bars and at the pool side will probably keep you busy, not to mention the fact that the place is surrounded by famously beautiful Hooters Girls.

There is a Dan Marino’s on the property, which is open 24 hours a day with a buffet happening at all times. It’s one of the more popular places to eat in the area.

For a casino in the heart of Las Vegas the prices to stay at Hooters Casino Hotel are geared for the blue-collar American. You can get a room in the hotel for around $100 and the restaurants have the same prices as the others in the chain. So not only is the Hooters Casino Hotel full of hot women, it’s also cheap.

The New Hold'em

I thought that it would be interesting to come up with a new kind of poker. Texas Hold’em is great and everything, but it would not hurt to mix things up a little bit and try something new.

The first thing would be the addition of a wild card in a poker game. I know a lot of traditionalists may not like this idea, but imagine how interesting it would make the new game. You could use jokers maybe, if someone had a joker in their pocket cards they can change that card to whatever they wanted to make the best possible hand. Now that would throw someone’s game off.

This is not an entirely new idea, but I would allow people to ask their opponent what cards they had after the hand was done. They would only a have set amount of times that they could ask, but again this could make the game a lot more interesting.

How about this for an idea? During each hand one player is given one extra card. I mean it is possible for a player to have one extra and still not have the nut hand, just really unlikely. Here’s another element, if someone wins a hand against someone with an extra card in their hand, they get double the chips from their opponent.

So when it’s poker night next try out these modifications to the game of Texas Hold’em and see how they work out. You never know you may actually win for a change.

I Love Playing Aces

Poker is a game that is played by a lot of people from all over the world. Since there are so many people playing the game today there are a lot of different strategies out there on how to win the game.



I was playing in a tournament last night and I made it to the final table with a decent amount of chips. There was someone sitting beside me at the table who did not have too many chips left in his stack. He was fairly quiet during much of the game and he went all-in before the flop. I had an ace and a two and I thought I would give it a try. I have this thing with aces, I can’t seem to fold them. My hand wasn’t that bad, but he had a jack and queen suited.

I admit that I had the lesser of the two hands, but I think it was a good call, I had an ace and I could have got a low straight. It did work out for me, the board showed an ace and two early, giving me two pair and the pot.

The person I was playing against was not a fan that I called an all-in bet with my hand. Like I said, I have a hard time folding aces and I had no idea what he had in his hand.

Looking back on it I think the game ended for me not too much later than that victory. Ironically enough I made an all-in bet with queen, jack in my hand pre-flop. It did not work out very well for me when two people with better hands called me.

James Woods on ER

I am a huge poker fan and I am a huge fan of celebrity poker player James Woods. It’s been a long time since I've watched ER and I saw it last night because James was on it.

For those of you who did not see it, I have to say, you really missed out. In the show James’ character was in the advanced stages of ALS, aka Lou Gehrig`s Disease. Let me tell you, I don’t know anyone with this disease, but I feel like I do now, just learned a lot about it from watching an hour-long television show.

James was awesome in this role, he really most have done his homework because his character seemed real and made you really feel for him and his wife.

It’s rare when you get to watch something like this on television. The type of program that leaves you thinking way after you turn the channel.

From watching this I can see why James Woods is known for his poker skills. Any man that can act like that would be a deadly weapon at a poker table, I would really have no idea whether or not he was bluffing or not.

I’m sure that last night’s episode will appear on reruns over the next couple months. So if you missed and get a chance to check it out again you really should. From what I have seen of ER it seems like a fairly good show on it’s own, but night’s episode was something different.

Anyways, happy Super Bowl weekend!

The World of Freerolls

A good way to learn how to play poker online is to… well play poker online. Every poker site has play money that you can use to play against people from around the world



The best way to pick up online poker is to play freeroll tournaments. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, a freeroll event is a huge online poker tournament where people use play money to play in the event. There is usually a cash prize that winners receive at the end, usually the cash prizes are kind of small, but there are some bigger ones, besides it’s free.

There are a lot of advantages to participating in these type of tournaments if you’re a beginner, you get the excitement of a large poker tournament without the financial investment.

Some sites require you to have played a certain amount of hands on their site before you enter a freeroll and some may ask that you have a specified amount of play money on your account.

Hollywood Home Game added a new section, it lists all of the freeroll tournaments happening during the day. This is a good way to find out what freerolls are happening and information about them including the prize amounts, start times, registration times and requirements,

It doesn’t matter if you’re an on-the-verge poker professional, or if your just starting to take an interest in the poker, a freeroll is a great way to spend a night.

The Irony of Poker

I hate having good cards, at least if you have bad cards you know what you are dealing with and can play or not play accordingly. When you have good cards you get tunnel vision and start to think that there is nothing or no one who can stop you.

Last night I was playing poker and I was doing fairly well. My luck seemed to be going fairly well when I won an all-in match up against someone with my pocket kings against their pocket jacks, but it would not take long before irony to kick in.

The next few hands were decent hands and I played them until the flop revealed that my okay cards were actually junk. Then I got a great hand, pocket jacks and I started to bet hard on them.

I was surprised by how effortlessly my opponent was calling my betting and I finally went all-in and was immediately called. I laid down my pocket jacks and then saw his cards, you guessed it, pocket aces.

Nothing even resembling a jack came out on the table, in fact I believe there was an ace that came out. I know there is a certain amount of irony that comes out in a game of poker and all you can do sometimes is hope that it comes for your favor and not your opponents.

Like I was saying before, I think I would be much more successful if I kept getting marginal hands, the type of hand that really makes you question your ability to win the pot and will make you bid accordingly. Poker would be so easier if you could all the table cards ahead of time.

The Sport of Poker

With activities like fishing and bowling being classified as sports, many including myself would consider poker to be worthy of the title of sport.

I know there are few poker-related injuries and there is no televised draft for poker, but it is just as competitive and can take just as much training as baseball or football. With the money and fame that poker now involves a good player can earn as much or more as some pro athletes and some poker events are getting higher ratings than many traditional sporting events. It’s kind of hard to make sports picks with poker, but I kind of like the irony of betting of poker.

Poker is now a big part of any sports show and probably gets more coverage than sports like hockey and tennis.

Poker has an element of skill and chance and a good player seems to be able to persuade Lady Luck to work in their favor, despite a bad draw. People like Phil Ivey are regarded in the same light as athletes like Alex Rodriguez and Tom Brady in some circles. There are no trades, injuries, or drug testing to take away from the game.

When I was a kid I always wanted to be a professional baseball star and I think I would have if I could have got over the obstacle of having absolutely no skill at the game whatsoever. Poker is a different story, with enough practice and the guts to play the big events anyone could potentially reach the top levels of the poker elite.

The internet is one of the reasons why popular is so popular right now. If poker is a professional sport than I think it would be fair to say that online poker would be comparable to the minor league system in other sports. The difference is that literally anyone can play and eventually make it to the big leagues.

Anyways, I am sure that there are a lot of people who think that I am wrong about poker being a sport. Regardless of what your opinion is, poker is a game that will be around for awhile.
