How to Play Hearts, With Variations
How to Play Hearts, With Variations
Through the years, the card game Hearts has been modified numerous times from its simple beginnings over a century ago to the present. Some people play Hearts thinking that the version they are playing is the one and only version. That is simply not true.
The following rules of Hearts will tell you how to play the game. There are four places within the rules where you must choose from four variations. At each place, pick the variation that you wish to use. Then play the game. In future games, you can choose different combinations of variations. In all, you can play 256 different variations of Hearts.
For these rules, Hearts is played by four players using a standard deck of 52 playing cards. The object of the game is to avoid taking Hearts and other harmful scoring cards.
To begin the game, write the players' names across the top of a sheet of paper which will be used to record the scores. Then choose a player to be the first dealer. Just pick someone. Or have each player cut the cards, and the player with the highest card is the first dealer.
The dealer shuffles the cards, and then deals them one at a time, face-down, clockwise around the table beginning with the player to her or his left. The deal continues until all of the cards have been dealt and each player has 13 cards. Each player looks at his or her cards.
Before play begins, cards may be passed between players. Either:
1. No cards are passed. or
2. A four-deal system of passing is used. On the first deal, each player passes three cards to the player to the left. On the second deal, each player passes three cards to the player to the right. On the third deal, each player passes three cards to the player across the table. And on the fourth deal, the players don't pass any cards. or
3. Use the same system as above, but pass four cards. Then each player passes one of the four cards back to the player who passed them. or
4. Each player passes three cards to the dealer who shuffles the cards and deals them back to the players.
Each hand is played as a series of "Tricks". A trick contains four cards, one from each player. For each trick, one player lays the first card, the lead card, face-up on the table. Then each of the other players in turn moving clockwise around the table lays a card face-up on the table. After the first card is played, the other cards must match the suit of the lead card if possible. Otherwise any card can be played. (One exception - a harmful scoring card cannot be played on the first trick unless the player has no other choice.)
One player plays the lead card of the first trick. Either:
1. The player to the left of the dealer plays her or his lowest card from a suit other than Hearts. or
2. The player with the Two of Clubs plays it as the lead card. or
3. The first player to the left of the dealer with a Two of Clubs, Two of Diamonds, or Two of Spades plays it. or
4. The player with the Two of Clubs shows it to the other players, and then plays any non-scoring card.
Each of the other players plays a card, following suit if possible. The highest card in the suit that was lead wins the trick. The player who played that card takes the four cards in the trick, and then plays the lead card for the next trick.
There is an early-game restriction on leading a Heart. Either:
1. A Heart can be lead after the first trick has been played. or
2. A Heart can be lead after a Heart has been played in a previous trick. or
3. A Heart can be lead after the third trick has been played. or
4. A Heart can be lead after each of the other three suits have been lead, or after two suits have each been lead twice.
When all of the tricks in a hand have been taken, each player examines his or her cards for scoring cards. Either:
1. The 13 Hearts each score 1 point. or
2. The Two through Ten of Hearts each score 1 point, and the Jack, Queen, King, and Ace of Hearts each score 5 points. or
3. The 13 Hearts each score 1 point, the Queen of Spades scores 13 points, and the Jack of Diamonds scores minus 10 points. or
4. The first two Hearts taken by each player score 0 points. All other Hearts each score 2 points, the Queen of Spades scores 13 points, and the Jack of Diamonds scores minus 10 points.
If a player takes all of the scoring cards in a hand, that player "Shoots the Moon". The player scores 0 points, and each of the other player scores 26 points.
Each player adds her or his points to any previous score on the score sheet.
If none of the players has scored 100 points, the cards are gathered together, and the player to the left of the dealer becomes the new dealer.
When a player scores 100 points, the player with the lowest score wins the game.
End of rules. I've always loved the game of Hearts.

Then you can just relax and let the wheel do what it does best, bring you the results you want.
There are thousands of people that have failed at thousands of business. One of the reasons is they just jump in with both feet before checking it out thoroughly. They take risks before they get their facts together. They get this pie in the sky feeling when they hear how much money they can make and go for it. Just like betting on the roulette wheel, they see someone else hitting it big, think they can do it, and before they know it there goes all their money.

Is it online, using social media, article marketing, video marketing, blogging, press releases or pay per click advertising.
It is OK to be spontaneous when it comes to taking a short trip or doing something that is just fun, or out of the ordinary. But when it comes to spending money on your business, take some time on searching out the right place to put your money. Figure out what your return on investment will be, work out all the numbers. Do not treat your business like you would a roulette wheel. The worry and stress will be to much and you will wind up being one of the thousands of businesses that fail.
You need to become aware of your present moment, stop, look and listen. You need to stop and think about what your doing, or about to do. Being aware of what is happening right now and responding to what is happening right now will stop a lot of future stress. Pay close attention to where your advertising money is going in your home business or brick and mortar business, just like you should pay close attention when you watch what color and number come up on the roulette wheel.

Full Tilt Poker Bonus - A Very Popular Room
Full Tilt Poker Bonus - A Very Popular Room
The Full Tilt Poker Bonus is still very popular and ranks after Poker Stars. This is one site that continues to accept US players and that is one advantage it still has over other rooms.
Though there are other poker sites offering similar facilities, it is the software and the fact that you need not have to pay or put a deposit to play that makes it a popular site frequented by many visitors. In fact you can get $50 just by registering and through that the chance to earn much more money.
The only issue with such poker bonuses on other sites is that you will have to play for a longer time to enjoy the full benefit of your winnings. However, with Full Tilt Poker Bonus, if you are not a beginner, you can play using the free rolls and will also have the flexibility of taking home your winnings quickly. The other advantage is that if you deposit a higher amount, you get a proportionately larger bonus to play with and that again is a chance to multiply your winnings many times over, with the right cards.
The benefit that you can gain by playing Full Tilt Poker is that this room is very big and the choices available are plenty. Right from the smallest of stakes to very big roller games, you can participate and enjoy the moments you spend at this site. Another advantage is that this is one of the few sites that permit Americans to play. After the UIGEA that was signed in the year 2006, many of the sites made it difficult for Americans to participate and from that perspective, this site is an exception and well frequented by many Americans all seeking to try their luck and skills at this popular game of poker.
The software at this site is also something that is its strong point. It has great robustness and something new to offer to customers with many features being added regularly. The appearance of this software and user friendliness is also something that many players find particularly pleasing.
However, the main advantage of this site remains its high sign up bonuses as compared to other sites. Since the bonus can match up to a hundred percent of your deposit, it provides players the time and facility to make a loss and yet keep playing on to try and regain the loss before they have to make the next payment.
This site has been able to withstand all competitive pressures due to the above mentioned advantages and it is not a surprise that it remains as one of the preferred rooms. People using it do tend to come back repeatedly hoping for better features.

Rush Poker Review - The Pros and Cons of Rush Poker
Rush Poker Review - The Pros and Cons of Rush Poker
With the recent launch of Rush Poker on Full Tilt Poker, players are discovering that they can play hundreds of more hands per hour than in the traditional cash games. Even though, this is a big difference between Rush poker and standard games, there are also other differences that distinguish it from other the regular game.
Some players love the new game and are proudly boasting out loud that it is the future of poker. Others do not appreciate it as much because they say it reduces the real poker strategies. Choosing to play Rush Poker or not is now becoming a major issue for poker players online.
Pros of Rush Poker on Full Tilt Poker
One of the biggest advantages of playing Rush Poker on Full Tilt Poker is the characteristic "Quick Fold". In short, you have the right to throw your hand away at any time during the hand. Even if it is not your turn to speak, you can click on the Quick Fold and go to the next hand. Of course, several players on Full Tilt were already making the decision to fold or to check before their turn.
However, with Rush Poker, you do not need to wait until the hand was ended to start a new one. When you click on Quick Fold, you're sent to another table on the spot where a new hand begins. This new feature significantly reduces the time spent waiting between two hands or even during the actual hand.
Another advantage is that the small blinds and seat positions are assigned randomly. Moreover, the big blind is the player who has not paid a blind for the longest period of time. Consequently, the tight aggressive players will discover that their strategy is much more efficient since they do not pay the blinds as often. This is indeed favourable for players who play tight, and gives a tight aggressive strategy better chance of success.
Cons of Rush Poker on Full Tilt Poker
A major disadvantage that several players mentioned concerning the new game is that its speed strips the game from the classic poker strategy that made the game what it is. For some, it kills the strategy so often used by poker professionals. Other players feel that it is not the case. In fact, you still have the same amount of time to take a decision in each hand and all strategies are still applicable.
Of course, it can also be hard on the bankroll of players who do not pay attention. With the large number of hands a player can play per hour, especially if he takes advantage of the ability to play on multiple tables, his money can disappear very quickly. Still, if a player pays attention to his bankroll, playing within the limits he can and should play at, it will not be a bigger problem than with other type of poker games.

Famous Players at Full Tilt
Famous Players at Full Tilt
Full Tilt Poker is widely known for excellent casino software, great customer support and the best poker games online. Even people with no bankrolls could stick around to watch how the pros hit it. Aside from that, Full Tilt Poker is home to the biggest names in the poker industry today. Not only do they endorse this website, but they pride having roots planted here. As a matter of fact, these names are so popular that they even made themselves into a team and called it, "Team Full Tilt." Read on to discover the amazing story and uncover the secrets behind the names; Howard Lederer, Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen.
Howard Lederer
The Poker Professor: That is what many call Howard Lederer for his astonishing hit over the poker world. For Lederer, tournament poker can be tremendously exciting while still being gravely terrifying. According to him, nothing beats the thrill of playing on the final, big money table.
Mike Matusow
An American master poker player, Mike Matusow got his nickname "The Mouth" for trash talking at the poker table. While this isn't particularly a commercial behavior, he is surprisingly a good player. He would ruin hours and day of poker tournaments by throwing a good old misquotation on the table.
Chris Ferguson
The "Jesus of Poker," Chris Perguson, did not only get his name from his Jewish-rock-star hair style. He is in fact on his attempt of turning water to wine (at least figuratively) with his nearly one year experiment on Full Tilt Poker. His goal was to turn $0, totally no investment, into a $10,000.00 bankroll. And he is about to win his self-imposed wager.
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey holds the record of the biggest rakeback, which evidently, is a result of how much hands he played on poker. Ivey also decorates his name with eight bracelets from World Series of Poker, and a title from the World Poker Tour. Not to mention, Ivey has appeared at nine final tables at the World Poker Tour.
Gus Hansen
Last on the list, but definitely not the least, Gus Hansen completes the Team Full Tilt with more steam than a steam engine. Hansen's career is bedecked with three open titles from World Poker Tour and was the winner of the Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament's first season. In 2007, Hansen also grabbed bacon at the main even of the Aussie Millions.
Full Tilt Poker is widely known for excellent casino software, great customer support and the best poker games online. Even people with no bankrolls could stick around to watch how the pros hit it. Aside from that, Full Tilt Poker is home to the biggest names in the poker industry today. Not only do they endorse this website, but they pride having roots planted here. As a matter of fact, these names are so popular that they even made themselves into a team and called it, "Team Full Tilt." Read on to discover the amazing story and uncover the secrets behind the names; Howard Lederer, Mike "The Mouth" Matusow, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen.
Howard Lederer
The Poker Professor: That is what many call Howard Lederer for his astonishing hit over the poker world. For Lederer, tournament poker can be tremendously exciting while still being gravely terrifying. According to him, nothing beats the thrill of playing on the final, big money table.
Mike Matusow
An American master poker player, Mike Matusow got his nickname "The Mouth" for trash talking at the poker table. While this isn't particularly a commercial behavior, he is surprisingly a good player. He would ruin hours and day of poker tournaments by throwing a good old misquotation on the table.
Chris Ferguson
The "Jesus of Poker," Chris Perguson, did not only get his name from his Jewish-rock-star hair style. He is in fact on his attempt of turning water to wine (at least figuratively) with his nearly one year experiment on Full Tilt Poker. His goal was to turn $0, totally no investment, into a $10,000.00 bankroll. And he is about to win his self-imposed wager.
