A rabbit one day managed to break free from the laboratory where he had been born and brought up. As he scurried away from the fencing of the compound, he felt grass under his little feet and saw the dawn breaking for the first time in his life.
In a 10-20 Hold’em game at the Mirage, a drunk was begining to get out of hand.
“Well that was one pussy-pink river card from you dealer!” he bellowed after missing a flush.
The dealer beheld the drunk gravely; “Sir, there is a young lady at the table. If you don’t control your language, you will have to leave.”
On the next hand, the drunk doesn’t improve his set on the flop and looses to a straight. “Jesus Christ! Why don’t you just light my fucking wallet on fire pinhead!”
The dealer was absolutely at his limit; “Sir, I’m telling you for the last time; there is a young lady at the table! Control your language or you will be escorted out of here!”
On the following hand, every player in the game wades into the pot. There are raises and caps on every card. In the end, the drunk sucks out an inside straight and wins the 10-20 pot of the month. The drunk looks out over his pile of chips at the dealer and asks, “Do you boys pool your tips togeather or do you keep them for yourselves?”
The dealer replies “All dealers here keep their own tips.”
The drunk tosses two green chips at the dealer and says with a grin; “Well have a Goddamn toke on me, motherfucker.”
The dealer picks up the $50, turns to the young woman and says, “Miss, I’m afraid you’ll have to leave the table.”
Building a poker table is easier than you think and there is certainly no need to buy plans to build a poker table! Here are my favorite links to homemade poker tables, they all include instructions on how to make a poker table. Most of these tables use one or more 4′ x 8′ sheets of plywood to construct a poker table. Some of these poker tables have rails and some have cup holders. Some tables are covered with poker cloth or billiard felt, others use faux suede or velveteen. Most of these poker table designs have a couple cases of beer included in the parts list. These tables are as individual as the owners themselves!
1. Don’t Play Every Hand / Do Fold More
Probably the number one mistake beginning poker players make is that they play far too many hands. When you’re just starting out playing poker, you want to play poker, and that means staying in hands that aren’t very good just to be part of the action. But playing more doesn’t mean winning more, it usually means losing more. If you find you’re staying in half or more the hands you’re dealt, you need to upgrade your starting hand requirements.

In 2005, young people (ages 18-25) in the US gambled $67 billion. Not in Vegas or online poker rooms, but on a betterment program called college. Their hope is that the monies they are spending will allow them to earn more money over their lifetime. Many are paying for this wager by amassing a mountain of debt that will take years to pay off.
