Three card Poker is a fast paced game which is easy to learn for the novice card player.
This game is played with a 52 card deck and is played between a dealer and a single player.
The player and dealer are each dealt 3 cards which are placed face down. The object of the game is for you to get a higher three card poker hand than the dealer. An important rule that people must remember when playing three card poker is regarding the hand ranks. In three card poker a straight is higher than a flush because there are fewer ways to make a 3 card straight than a 3 card flush.
There is little strategy and absolutely no bluffing involved in this game Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys , which is why I said at the beginning that it is a game for the beginner. The main decision in this game comes when the player first looks at the cards he is dealt. Here he must decide whether to fold or to raise. In three card poker a raise means you are paying to see the dealer's cards.
The minimum hand you must have before raising is at least an ace high with either a king or queen, otherwise one should fold. There is a twist in this form of poker though, whereby the dealer can have a higher three card poker hand than you and still lose the game. It works as follows, the dealer must have a queen high hand or better Cheap Authentic NHL Jerseys , or his hand does not count for the game. So theoretically if you are dealt a hand with just a ten in it you could still win the hand. For this twist to happen though, you will have to raise the dealer, so think carefully before raising with a weak hand.

Phil learns to serve rather than be served! Business Articles | February 28 Cheap NHL Jerseys From China , 2008 Phil swaggered into my office, sank into the back of the chair that I offered - and swiftly folded his arms.

Phil swaggered into my office, sank into the back of the chair that I offered - and swiftly folded his arms. Without saying anything Cheap NHL Jerseys China , Phil simply looked at me with his left eyebrow raised.
His defensive body language made it clear that he was not looking forward to our session and I recalled that it had been his boss who - concerned that his newly appointed manager was causing waves in the office - had made the appointment for Phil.
Phil was new to the role of management - and I was beginning to get the impression that the problems in the office were due to his "throwing his weight about".
Gently, I asked Phil how he was enjoying his new job. "Yeah, it's great. I always knew I'd make it to manager level, as I'm very ambitious. And as I see it Cheap NHL Jerseys Wholesale , this is just the first rung - I intend to make it all the way to the top of the ladder!"
Proud of the fact that he was the youngest manager in the company, Phil also felt that he had a lot to prove. In a bid to ensure that he had the right skills, he had invested both time and money in various management strategy books - however, when I asked him about the "softer" skills of leadership Cheap NHL Jerseys , he simply shrugged his shoulders.
"All of that stuff is just baloney. What really matters is that an organisation has a clear plan of action, a clear chain of command and a clear set of rules of engagement."
I pointed out to Phil that his language sounded almost military in style - and asked him if he felt that being in management was simply dealing with one "skirmish" after another.
"I guess that pretty well sums it up," he said. "Sometimes I think I should have a flak jacket! To be honest, the people I manage aren't awfully good at taking orders - and if we are going to hit our sales target Cheap Jerseys From China , then sometimes I have to pull rank on them to ensure that the job gets done."
Not surprisingly, it turned out that Phil's father had been in the Army - and from our discussion, it appeared that Phil's home life as a child had reflected his father's career.
"Dad never allowed us to have our say," said Phil Cheap Jerseys China , "We were just expected to follow orders. I guess that's the only way I know - and frankly, I can't say that it's harmed me."
"No," I said, "But it's in danger of harming your career. Most people have not had the same kind of childhood experiences as you - and will not welcome your dictatorial style. The people who work for you expect to be led - not bullied."
Phil flushed red - and then went white at my words. But I pressed on regardless Cheap Jerseys Wholesale , knowing that if he was to succeed in the future, Phil had to understand now that he needed to adopt a different management style.
I explained that if Phil wanted to earn respect as a manager - and indeed earn promotion in the future - then he needed to learn to respect his staff first.
"Poor leaders expect to be served and demand respect," I said. "But great leaders expect to serve - and earn respect."
Phil listened to my words and didn't speak for several moments while he allowed them to sink in, eventually saying: "You're right Cheap Jerseys , I'm beginning to see why my staff have been behaving the way they have. I guess if I change, then they'll change."
