Three Card Poker Betting-Gambling
Three Card Poker Betting
A player must be aware of how to place bets in three card poker. The playing area both live and online will have three areas where you place bets. The three areas are as follows:1) AnteHere one places a bet at the start of the game and it is mandatory. You place this bet before you see your cards.2) Play (sometimes called Raise)Here one places an amount equal to the ante if you want to see the dealer's cards. You will be able to see your cards before placing this bet. If you are not happy with your hand, you can fold at this stage and do not place any money on the Play area.3) Pair+Here you place an optional bet in the hope of you getting a pair or better three card poker hand. You can place any amount here and you must place this bet before you see the cards you are dealt. If you do get a pair or better hand you get paid out an extra bonus amount.The payout of the winnings is determined if the dealers hand "qualifies". The term "qualifies" means if the dealer's hand has a queen high or better hand.If the dealer qualifies and you beat him, the dealer covers your bet and raise. For example, if you placed $10 on the ante and then raise the dealer, you will get paid back $40. The $40 is split as follows $20 that you placed and $20 dollars from the dealer to cover your bets.If you placed money on the Pair+, and you get a pair or higher hand, you will get paid out an extra bonus over and above your ante and raise bet.If you placed money on the Pair+, and you get a pair or higher hand, you will still get paid out the bonus even if the dealer beats you. In this scenario you would still lose your ante and raise bet though.If the dealer does not qualify with his three card poker hand, the following scenarios could occur:? When you beat the dealer, you get your ante covered and your raise gets pushed (pushed means you just get your money back). For example, if you placed $10 on the ante and then raise the dealer, you will get paid back $30. The $30 is split as follows $20 that you placed and $10 dollars from the dealer to cover your ante.? When you beat the dealer with a pair or higher and have placed a bet on the Pair+, you get your ante covered, your Pair+ bonus and your raise gets pushed. For example, if you placed $10 on the ante, $10 on the Pair+ and then raise the dealer, you will get paid back $30 plus a bonus. The $30 is split as follows - $20 that you placed and $10 dollars from the dealer to cover your ante.Stanley Majors is an experienced online poker journalist who writes articles on a range of poker topics.

Three Important Litter Box Considerations
Three Important Litter Box Considerations
There are three important litter box considerations to account for whether you're a new kitten owner, or someone who has had a cat for a while. If kitty isn't happy with any or all three of these, you may find she'll start urinating outside the box.1. Litter Box Location:Location is all-important in real estate. The litter box location is important to your kitty. As an owner, you need to be certain her box is in a quiet location, away from traffic and noise. Ideally, a room that is seldom visited, such as the basement or laundry room is a good choice.Cats need to be left alone while tending to their business. A child's room, the hallway by the front door, or the family room may be too noisy for her.2. Litter Box Type:New cat litter boxes are marketed constantly. The final decision may rest with kitty. If you buy her a box, and she doesn't use it, think about the way she does her business. For example, my boy, JJ (who is fixed), urinates standing up. He's 14 years old, and it may be too much effort for him to squat. We have tall sided, and hooded litter boxes to accommodate the splash on the back wall.You may consider the mechanical, self-cleaning litter box. They rake the results of kitty's visit into a small container. The drawbacks are that your cat may be scared of the motor noise. If so, she won't use it. The rakes, or tines, need to be cleaned regularly. They're close together, and can be a real trial to clean properly. What if you lose electrical power for an extended period of time? The motor won't operate, and the box won't get scooped, if you forget!Bottom line? Observe your kitty doing her business, and formulate a strategy about the best box to buy.3. Cat Litter:There are lots of different types of cat litter you can purchase. There are different blends of clay; some are perfumed, some are not. Again, your cat may decide for you. If you purchase a certain brand, and kitty eliminates somewhere else, you'll need to experiment with different types until you and she agree on what will be used.Perfumed, or scented litter is for us humans, not the cat! Some cats will refuse to patronize a box with heavily scented litter. As bad as the smell may be for you and your family, the end goal is find the right litter she'll use every time.About The AuthorNancy E. Wigal

Three Ways Journaling Can Boost Your Creativity and Your Business
Three Ways Journaling Can Boost Your Creativity and Your Business
I have a friend who has struggled with her creativity for a
long time. She's extremely uncomfortable thinking of herself
as "creative." We've been working together on it, and making
progress. One of the tools that's really helped her has been
journaling.From Julia Cameron's The Artist Way to Natalie Goldberg's
Writing Down the Bones to Linda Trichter Metcalf, Ph.D. and
Tobin Simon, Ph.D.'s Writing the Mind Alive to numerous
other publications, journaling has enjoyed a long history of
creative-nurturing along with a host of other benefits.For my purposes, I'm defining journaling as any sort of
loose, longhand writing. Whatever thoughts come into your
head you put them down on paper. There's no structure, no
form, nor concern about spelling or grammar or even
legibility.Even if writing isn't your dream, incorporating a regular
program of journaling into your life is a wonderful way to
jump-start your creativity and cultivate a constant flow of new
ideas. Here are three reasons why.1. Helps you get rid of the junk in your head. We all have it.
Junk thoughts. Everything from self-defeating comments
("Oh, I'll never be good at that." or "Who told you that you
could be a writer?") to the "worry of the moment" to neurosis
of every type to the ever-growing, constant to-do lists.Who can be creative with all that noise going on? For that
matter, who could even hear a creative thought over all that
racket?Journaling is a way to quiet the mind. Writing all that junk
down transfers it from your head to the paper. Suddenly, you
find you can actually think rather than simply react.The best part is this quiet lasts long after the journaling is
done for the day. And if you journal frequently, then the effect
is cumulative.When I finish journaling, I find that I feel peaceful. Calm.
Able to focus. The junk is gone, leaving space to be creative.2. Gives you a chance to try new ideas. What better way to
see if a new idea will work than to try it out on paper? You
can write out the pros and cons, describe a scenario, play
"what if" games ("What if my new business was
successful?" "What if I tried that new advertising
campaign?" "What if I contacted the editor at Money
Magazine?"). And the best part is it's all in a private little
notebook that no one will ever have to see.Try writing down your hopes, dreams, goals, visions. Play
around with them. You may find as you journal about them,
a strategy for making them come true suddenly presents
itself, right there in the pages of your notebook.3. Helps you build a bridge to your muse. This one really
only kicks in after you've sufficiently done number one (at
least, this is the way it works for me). It seems only after I've
gotten most of the junk out of my head that the muse
sometimes slips out to play a bit.How do you know the muse came to visit you? When that
brilliant idea flashes in your head. It may not happen while
you're journaling, but instead while you're showering,
walking, driving or something else. This is the muse talking
to you.It's important to remember muses have quiet voices. They
can easily be drowned out by the incessant bickering of the
other noisy chatter going on in your head. Once you can get
those other voices to shut up, you can start to listen for the
muse.Don't worry if this doesn't happen right away. There have
been weeks and even months when I write nothing but junk
down. But then, one day, that great idea appears on the
paper or in my head as I'm walking my dogs.And when that happens, I know all the time I spent
journaling about nothing has paid off.Creativity Exercises -- Journal more ideasI would love it if you made a pact with yourself to journal
regularly for a month. If that's too much of a commitment for
you, try it as a creativity exercise.Write down your challenge at the top of a piece of paper.
Maybe it's ways to increase business or promote your
products more or a new PR campaign. Now just start writing
about it.Don't think, just write. Fill a few pages of musing about that
particular challenge. Don't type it either -- write longhand. If
you wander away from it, try nudging yourself back.Write for at least 20 minutes. If no answer presents itself in
that time, don't get too hung up about it. Try it again the next
day or a few days in a row. Sometimes it just takes awhile to
jar things loose. And remember, great ideas have a
tendency to pop up in the most unexpected places, not just
when you're doing something "creative."Michele Pariza Wacek is the author of "Got Ideas? Unleash
