The history of the Thomas family mirrors the history, struggles, and successes of America. Starting in the 1600s, my ancestors came from Europe and helped settle and build the country, fought in the battles that defined the nation, lost their jobs in the Great Depression, and then enjoyed the prosperity of 20th century America.

Hello my name is Bob and welcome to my book. In this book I will be telling you all of my greatest secrets that I have learnt in casinos dealing to the players from 1/2 USD to the highest stakes imaginable. The topics of the book that I will cover are as follows 1.Developing a correct mindset for poker In this chapter I will detail what should be the correct mindset of a poker player right from the initial stage of selecting a table, stakes, a game, the correct expectations, being aware of the transactions costs like rake and other expenditures, and more. This is crucial because most players today lack this information and set themselves up for failure and a cascade of losses. I will also be sharing several secrets for example when a player plays at a stake that is meaningless in form of money to him, he is already winning. And a player who is playing at a stake in which money means dearly to him he is already begun losing. The cause is when a person plays with a thing dear to him he is actually gambling and cannot play the game as skillfully if he had been playing at a stake that was unimportant. 2.The Truth About Casino Side Games You already know it but I will be sharing several secrets for example. When you play in casino side games for example Black Jack you can become tilted when you lose an amount significant to you and you can end up donating even more money, people have blown all their pay checks and tax refunds the same day due to tilt. Hence it is important to not go to casinos with your debit cards or credit cards, otherwise you can get in a gambling trap and lose a lot of money quickly. Casinos know that most people will quit after they go on a heater but will continue playing when losing, hence they can offer players free rooms, drinks and even food. 3.The Biggest Secret In this I will share with you what exactly takes to turn from a Fish to a Super Pro! 4.Tournament Secrets Ok most now already know the M Ratio and Q Ratio. Do you really know what it takes to be a consistent winner like a top WSOP money maker? 5.Pot Limit Omaha Secrets The secrets that I am going to tell you will prevent you from making a lot of mistakes and help you learn how the game should be played, how you can take advantage of the freerolls that are in this game. 6.No Limit Hold''em Secrets Do you as a player always put money when you are ahead and your opponent is a 4 to 1 dog, if not then you are losing money. Still there is lot of hope for you because by learning these secrets you will be playing when you are way ahead, be avoiding the marginal situations and will be crushing the donks for thousands of dollars every month at your local casinos. Sounds fun? 7.Hand Reading and Constructing Ranges Like A Boss This is important Phil Hellmuth once said that he made 20 million dollars because of hand reading, he actually has made 20 million dollars and he does hand read. 8.Is Poker Gambling?

Comme vous le lirez ( ... ), Walt Disney était Mickey Mouse et Mickey Mouse était Walt Disney. On ne pouvait les dissocier, en particulier à l''époque de l''immense succès de Mickey. Avec le temps cependant, l''image de l''homme et celle de la souris se modifièrent du moins dans l''esprit du public. La majorité des gens voyait en effet le premier Mickey comme un personnage intrépide, ingénieux et assoiffé d''aventures. Or celui de la maturité devint presque pondéré, en quelque sorte le spectateur amusé des facéties bouffonnes commises par les nouveaux venus de la distribution. Actuellement, il ferait plutôt figure d''emblème symbolique. Mickey souffrit de la dépréciation de son nom à travers de péjoratives qualifications. " Ce joueur est certainement un gabarit Mickey Mouse ", aurait commenté avec mépris un journaliste de football. Dans le même esprit un garagiste aurait ironisé : " Quel que soit l''individu qui a bricolé votre voiture, on voit que c''est un boulot à la Mickey Mouse.
