Theme Party Ideas

The allure of a safari is seeing wildlife up close and personal, but along with the majestic lions and elephants come the smaller critters like frogs, snakes, butterflies and lizards.Hang Up mosquito netting against the walls or from lighting fixtures to drape across a room. Up the exotic factor in your home by tossing a leopard print faux fur throw over a couch for the occasion. Or make a safari snack bar by setting up party food on a table and hanging up mosquito netting around the back half and sides of the table to only allow access from the front.

Go all out by making a stage for your Broadway theme party food and beverages. Though this looks most authentic set up on a semicircle drop-leaf table (with one leaf up and one leaf down, creating the shape of a stage), any table can be used. Line the edge of the table with tealight candles along the rounded outer edge to create stage lights, and display food in groupings around the stage’ you’ve created on the table.Take your table to a whole other level by making curtains: lightweight red fabric affixed to a wooden dowel and hung over the stage for genuine looking Broadway curtains.

During this time of year, one of the best ways perhaps to put your poker tournament time to use is to play in satellites or super satellites that give you doors into the tournament itself. There are so many packages and big field prizes that offer ways to get to the big dance that throwing your hat in the ring there can end up getting you a set for a very small portion of the actual price. Chris Moneymaker famously turned his tiny buy in into one of the most famous main event wins of all time, why shouldn’t you be one to follow in his suit?

If you are going to the game, playing a lot of tournament instead of cash games can help get your mind on the right page to face the fields.

1. Loosen Up. In head’s up, there are only two hands being played, which means that any given hand has much better odds of turning into a winner. Often, a top pair or even high cards can turn into winning hands.

2. Bluff Often. Most times, both you and your opponent will draw dead hands, and it’ll just be a matter of who bets first taking the pot. When you’re both weak, make sure you take the pot.

3. Slow Play Your Big Hands. Since you both will be looking for chances to buy the pot, slow playing your big hands is a great way to entice your opponent into fattening the pot for you. If you get pocket Aces and hit another one on the flop, favor your opponent with a few checks and let him to the betting for you.

Omaha is a variation of the ever popular Texas Hold ‘Em online poker where the players get not two but four hole cards. Sounds nice right? Well, sort of, but the player only gets to use two to play with just like in traditional Hold ‘Em.

So you may be asking at this point, why even bring this up? Well after some break down of the odds in comparison to traditional Hold ‘Em, Omaha is the dream game for casinos with no rake limit.

With chances for 20 card straight draws possible, instead of the more conservative and limited odds for traditional Hold ‘Em, the game easily blurs the line between made hands.

As a result, you see many more poker players going all in many more times because of potentially action packed flops that don’t exist with just two hole cards.

And if you’re familiar with the psychology of gambling, high action games bring in big money high action players. And with them come the gurus, looking to capitalize on the mistakes these players make during the excitement.

While this may seem like non news to some, to the older generaton of poker online players, those who have mastered the game of hold ‘em, there usually comes a time that as a true gambler, you want to branch out and try different games.

As one of those gamblers (though I wouldn’t be audacious enough to claim mastery of Hold ‘Em), I feel it necessary to at least bring some attention to this radical game. Besides, sometimes we need to eat fish after two years of steak everyday.

First off, of course, you need to write up a guest list. There are dozens of adorable invitations designed just for baby showers, so it is really just a matter of choosing the best one. You also need to select a theme for the shower, which will help you pick out the perfect decorations, not to mention the best baby shower party favors. Possible themes include Precious Moments, which is very popular; Baby Einstein; Winnie the Pooh – or any number of other Disney themed characters; or more general themes, such as teddy bears.

Next comes the fun part – decorations! A lot of times, baby shower favors can actually double as decorations, which can help save money. In addition to the standards, like streamers and balloons, you can also look for baby shaped candles and you can even put together matching gift bags for your guests which can also be used to dress up the table. Baby toys like teddy bears, rubber ducks, and blocks are also great choices. You cannot forget to get a truly spectacular centerpiece either.

Refreshments are important as well. You will not have any problem here, either; there are more baby themed foods than you can even imagine, including cookies shaped like swaddled babies or diapers. The same goes for games – at showers, they typically include prizes, which your guests can take home.
