Macau has a very rich history and boasts of breathtaking structures, to crave for dishes, and amazing ruins. Visitors though do not go to Macau for all these stuff but to try their luck in the casinos. Macau is considered as a fusion of China and Las Vegas and is considered the gambling haven of the Orient.
Macau is very similar to Hong Kong which is just 35 miles away. Both places have adapted capitalism and western ways of living. The islands are fortresses near the vast China.
Tourists adore the place for its cleanliness. The casinos are the known all over for their world class designs and caliber of play. The rest of the city also serves as proof that order is a very important trait for Macau.
There are ancient churches and villas in Macau which serve as testament that it was once conquered by Europeans. It was only in 1999 that Portuguese returned Macau to its rightful owners.

Perhaps one of the most difficult things to learn when you start out playing poker is what decision to make. You don’t have a lot of time to make up your mind and especially in the beginning, when you are trying to process all the information. Pressure can also make you do some real crazy, stupid things, that you look back on and think, why did I do that?
The best advice I can give is to get out there and play as much poker as you can, that way you will know what to do in given situations and your decision making will improve. Or, go and play at the slot machines… if you can’t take the pace…
It also helps to take in as much information as you can and process it quickly. Poker has taught me to make a decision quickly, even though I have very little information to work with. How often in life do you hear people say, “I didn’t do it because I didn’t know enough”? I reckon just do it… get out there and get on with it… don’t procrastinate because you are trying to find out everything before making a decision!
Sometimes we make the wrong decisions – so what?

One should always have pre-planned strategies in his head so that the results do not turn out to be shocking.

What is EV and how can you use it to your advantage? EV is an analytical tool, a way of looking at poker, which ideally will standardize your good decisions and help you identify and correct mistakes. Simply put: it’s smart bankroll management – if you think of everything in terms of EV, you are going a long way towards playing mathematically sound poker.
The Science of EV
EV refers to expected value, and it means how much you can expect to win over your lifetime with each play you make. For example, a play that has +$3 of EV means that if you make that play every time, you can expect to win $3 per play over your poker career. This doesn’t mean you’ll win $3 every time you make it, in fact, you will probably never win exactly $3. It is just a long-term calculation. Similarly, a -$3 EV play means that you will lose an average of $3 every time you make this play over your poker career.
Using EV in Practice
Often, it is enough to simply know that a play is +EV or –EV. If you make more +EV plays than –EV plays over the course of your career, provided that the value amounts of the plays are relatively uniform, you will be a winning player. Of course, if you make one -$100 EV play for every 10 +$5 EV plays you make, you will be a losing player, and have a drastic leak in your game that you need to correct.
Calculating EV
Calculating EV is often a matter of understanding your equity in a pot vs. the amount you invest to win that pot. Your percentage chance to win a pot represents how much the pot is worth to you, so if you are investing less than the pots are worth to you, you are making +EV plays. Sometimes you will have to make a rough estimate of EV. If you determine a play is +EV it is safe to make it, no matter how positive it is. Conversely, a –EV play should never be made, unless you have calculated out that it will lead directly to more +EV plays later in the session, in which case it is not really a –EV play at all.
