Poker Strategies for Women by Veronica Harris

The gambling world is a man's world, and poker is a man's game, of course it does not have to be this way, and naturally there is a chance it will change sometime in the future. For now, it does not necessarily have to be a disadvantage for women gamblers. The trick is to recognize the differences between male and female players and to act on them in the best way possible.

So if you have tried you way around the internet in a few of the best online casinos and you want to try the real thing at a land based casinos, these tips are for you.

First thing about being a woman in a men's world is that it is not far from being a tourist in a foreign country. Even tough you don't know the code of behavior, and you are constantly make basic mistake, you being forgiven for not knowing the rules because you do not really belong here and the locals are usually very patient and understanding towards foreigners.

Inside the gambling world you can easily feel the competitive atmosphere, which brings out different qualities from the average person. I am speaking of qualities such as distrust, aggressiveness and sometimes even paranoia. At this kind of state people tend not to get close to anyone they do not know.

If you are an outsider, who appears clueless and harmless, you will be able to get information and special treatment that other players, who appear more threatening then you, wouldn't. So it doesn't matter how well you know the game or not, if you act as if you know close to nothing you will get a lot of inside tips that can help you win big. What is that have to do with being a woman? Well, it is easier for a man to believe that a woman knows nothing in this area then if it was a man. This is a female advantage based on a male disadvantage.


The second female advantage I would like to talk about is the natural advantage of the gender interaction. Women have the natural gift of confusing men and the last thing you do not want to do at a casino is get confused. Now I know not all man get confused by women, but it is not just a sexual thing, but also an energy kind of thing, if a woman knows how to operate her natural charm, it does not matter if the man in front of her prefer women or not.

The third female advantage is the ability to do several things at once without getting any of them damaged by another. At the poker table the players have to be concentrate on the game, on the other players and on the bettings. This ability allows you women to do all in a better concentration level then those of the male players playing against you.

The last tip, but certainly not the least, is to enjoy the game. Whether you win or lose, you have done absolutely nothing if you did not enjoy the journey.

Potty Training Resistance by Diane Ball -

Potty training, unfortunately, comes at a time in life when a child is learning to be more independent. Known as the ?terrible twos?, your toddler may resist potty training altogether, dirty his or her diaper for spite, act differently about the toilet for different caregivers, and generally cause potty training to be a hassle for parents. However, don?t despair, potty training can still be accomplished even if this is the case, if parents remain calm and understanding and make potty training a fun activity.

First, be sure your child is ready and establish a potty training routine with your child. These two steps are the basis for quick and stress-free potty training. However, many children will still resist, so you are not alone if you are often faced with a screaming child or one who is learning early to talk back (good luck with him or her as a teen?). Refusing to potty train can be simply frustrating, or it can have real health consequences if they chose to ?hold it? for long periods rather than use the potty. Remember to consult your paediatrician if resistance continues for a long period of time.

Rewarding your child is an appropriate step in the potty training process, and one that will possibly make your child less resistant. Have him or her help choose the prizes. For example, visit the local toy store and purchase some new items that your child may not have until he or she meets certain goals. You may also wish to talk to your child about what he or she cannot do without being potty trained (staying the night at grandma?s, going to school, visiting friends, etc). Motivation is the key to successful potty training.

Talk with your child if he or she is normally well behaved, but extremely resistant to potty training. Perhaps your child is scared of using a potty seat. Have him or her use, instead, a small potty chair and decorate this chair with stickers. Some children, for example, are scared of the flushing noise a larger toilet makes. Wait until your child leaves the room to flush, or have him or her flush the toilet themselves, both when they use it and at other time in the day, simple to get used to the idea. You may also wish to have your child watch while you, older siblings, and family members use the toilet to show your child that it is not scary.

Punishment is appropriate when your child knows that he or she is acting inappropriately. For example, if he or she won?t let your change his or her dirty diaper, even though they have been previously telling you when they have to go, you may wish to punish your child. Also consider punishment for inappropriate behavior such as hitting or throwing temper tantrums.

Punishment is not appropriate for accidents, on the other hand. Remember that your child may simply not know he or she had to use the toilet. Even with older children, accidents sometimes happen, especially with urination during play as they get distracted until it?s too late to make it to the toilet. Try to be understanding about this so that your child does not continue to resist using the toilet.

There are many tools on the market to help make potty training fun. If you make it a fun activity, your child will not be as resistant, and the process will be much faster. Use a variety of games, songs, and activities to teach your child about using the potty and remember that each child is different and will learn toilet use at a different pace.
