I recently came across this site which has to be arguably the best US Online Casino portal on the internet since 2003. Since I’m a gambling man, I like to try out various sites, well, anything related to betting actually.

Don’t worry, I’m not a compulsive gambler, I know my limits. But sometimes I’m bored so I want to play some poker online. Or maybe even try out some new games I can gamble at. But there are so many damn sites out there that it’s hard to find the right one for me.

And this is where Five Star Gamble comes into play (no pun intended!). They basically find, review and rank the best US Online Casino sites out there.

For the international players, don’t let that get you down. There are plenty of reviews and rankings for non-US gamblers.

Personally, I didn’t even realize how many casino sites there were. There are a bunch I have never even heard of which offer some great benefits. And Five Star Gamble highlights all of them with their ranking system and reviews.

I don’t know how many of you guys know this but in US, they are trying to get rid of accepting credit cards on gambling sites. Well, FSG managed to find a bunch of them that are still accepting all major credit cards for deposit. Matter of fact, most of the highly recommended sites also match your initial deposit up to a certain amount. So, you’re almost getting double the money just for playing.

I like how this online casino guide is easy to navigate through. I mean, right on the front page there is a link in the introduction to the top 30 online casinos and a majority of us are there strictly to find out what is best for us. There you have it right in your face!

Personally, I’m glad that I found this site. Now I know where to play games even Bingo and Keno! Feel free to check it out whenever you have a gambling itch.

Have fun!

I’m a huge fan of Texas Holdem Poker, just like the next guy. I feel it’s like a game of chess for lawyers. You need to lie to convince others in a game of strategy. So, how do you play poker? Well, I’m only going to focus on Texas Holdem Poker and if you guys are ever up for a game, let me know! (Of course online poker isn’t the same as playing in person).

How to play Texas Holdem Poker? Well, the rules are pretty simple, it’s your game play that separates you from the losers and winners.

The rules:

The game starts off with a dealer, at least two players, a small and big blind, chips (or cash) and a 52-card deck.

1. Typically, we start off by dealing one card face up to determine who is going to start off as “the dealer.” The person with the highest card will start.

2. Once the dealer is determined, the first person to the left of the dealer has to toss in a forced ante, or the “small blind.” The second person to the left of the dealer then puts in a larger forced ante, or the “big blinds.” The small and big blinds can be made up to any number. Though, generally the big blinds is twice the amount of the small (ex. $1/$2, $2/$4, $3/$6, etc).

3. After the small and big blinds are in, the dealer deals two cards face down to everyone at the table, starting with the person on his left.

4. Once everyone has their cards, the first person “to act” would be the person to the left of the big blinds. They would have the option of calling the bet (big blinds), raise it, or fold. Betting continues around the table, clockwise. If no one raises the big blinds, the person who put had the forced ante (big blinds) has the option to simply check.

Tip: Playing your position at the table is a very important part of the game. If you are the last person at the table “to act” then you want to bet so people don’t get free hands.

5. After the betting is completed, three cards are dealt face up in the center of the table, which is also referred to as the “board.” The first three cards that are dealt in Texas Holdem Poker is called “the flop.” These cards are “community cards” in which everyone can use them in combination with their own cards to make the best hand.

6. From the flop on, betting begins with the person to the left of the dealer, who can check or bet. The dealer is the last to act, so again, play your positions carefully.

7. After betting is completed, a fourth card is dealt face up on the board which is called “the turn.”

8. After another round of betting, the final card dealt face up is called “the river.”

9. Once betting is finished, the remaining players show their cards to see who makes the best five cards. The person who makes the initial bet (or the last person to initiate the bet) is the first person who would turn over their cards.

Keep in mind: In some occasions in Texas Holdem Poker, the five cards on the board could possibly be the best hand. In which case the “pot” (the money from the betting) is split among the active players.

And that’s how you play poker - particularly Texas Holdem Poker. If you ever want to play, let me know! Again, I rather play in person but online would be good enough.

Stay tuned as I’ll be giving away some of my personal tips!
