Betting Position in Holdem Poker

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Betting position is a huge part of strategy when playing poker: depending on what order you bet in, the same hand could be a great or terrible one.

Take a pocket pair of two’s, for example. If I was the first to act, I’d be much more likely to fold this hand. If I put down the big blind, someone who acts after me might have a decent pocket hand and raise me, and a pair of 2’s is not something you want to bet a lot of money on.

On the other hand, if I’m the last to act, I can place my bet a bit more confident that I’m less likely to be raised, and I have an idea of what the others are holding based on what they bet.

With a marginal poker hand like a low pocket pair, it may be worth it to risk a blind on the chance that a third (or fourth!) 2 will come out on the flop. Since it is such a slim chance, however, the closer you are to being the last to act, the safer you are to bet. And that’s a pretty incredible feeling to have when you’re playing poker.

Bodybuilding Magic In The Last Rep

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Bodybuilding enthusiasts, as well as strength training participants, all want quick, visible muscle defining results. Their main goal is to add different degrees of lean tissue or fat burning muscle to their bodies all according to personal objectives. Bodybuilders want to add as much muscle mass as possible, while fitness enthusiast want to either maintain muscle mass, or slightly increase strength and size. It all depends upon the specific goals and objectives of each participant.

Bodybuilding magic occurs not during the first rep, but the last. Do you know the last, most difficult, repetition triggers 90% of muscle building results?

The main principle in increasing muscle strength and size is overload. If you place a greater stress on your muscles than you had during the previous workout, that specific muscle will be stimulated, and overloaded enough causing an adaptive responsive. This event results in greater strength and muscle tissue development. The adaptive response is dependent upon the intensity of that last magic, muscle producing rep.

Bodybuilding and strength training participants should really focus on conquering that last, near impossible muscle building repetition. A valiant effort of trying to move that last rep will trigger the muscle group to adapt, and grow stronger.

Don’t give up too easily when you feel the weight is challenging. Battle that rep for at least 4 seconds. Even if you are unable to complete the full rep, you have succeeded, and the muscle building growth process will follow. That is, only if you have had sufficient rest between workouts. It is not during the bodybuilding workout when muscle building results occur, but rather after consecutive rest days to allow for muscle building compensation followed by overcompensation.

The last rep is the stimulus that triggers this whole process which bodybuilding and strength gains are based upon. Please note, this whole process can be short circuited by not allowing enough rest time between workouts for overcompensation to occur. If you allow your body sufficient rest, your muscle strength will continue to increase with each subsequent bodybuilding workout. If not, you need more days off to recover from the previous workout. You only have a limited number of resource recovery abilities available, so don’t short circuit your results by not allowing the recovery process to finish.

Instead of focusing on which bodybuilding supplement brings good bodybuilding fortune, focus on what really matters – the last, muscle building rep. Then allow your body to do the rest.

Your primary goal should be to reach that repetition you can’t complete after struggling four or more seconds. If you follow this last rep, maximum stress,followed by sufficient rest principle, then you will see magic in your bodybuilding results.
