End ..........................Take Me To The Top Poker Mavens: Creating A New Account & Logging In For The First Time
In your browser window, this is the image that will come up. It only takes a few seconds for the connection to establish itself. So if you find yourself waiting too long, try refreshing the page.
As shown above, click on Account....Create, and a new window will pop up.
First, create your "Player Name", it's up to you whether you want to enter the same username you have in Voodoo. For the purposes of Tournament play, where you will be transferring mojo to the Tournament Host in Voodoo, it would make things much simpler if you kept the same name as in Voodoo. For "Location", you can put the State or Province you're from, or you can make something up, if you wish that to be anonymous. The same applies to "Your real name". Selecting "Gender" should be fairly simple, check for innie or outie and click on what applies. lol As for "Password", enter something you won't easily forget, with a minimum of 6 digits, and "Confirm". As for "Your e-mail address", please use a valid e-mail, as you will need it to retrieve your password, should you forget, and it is also needed to Validate your Poker Mavens Account.
After you have created your new account and had it validated, you want to click Login next.
Enter in your username and password and click okay. In the lobby, you will be directed to click on the Tournament tab, and told what table to highlight.
As shown above, highlight the very first table, unless we are in a Tournament and have more than 10 people ready to play, this should be the table you highlight when playing. After highlighting the table, Observe Table and Register will now appear in the bottom right corner. Click on Register.
Once all have registered, the Administrator will start the game. Seating is random, everyone starts off with the same amount of poker chips, and naturally you are the only person who can see your cards. And let the Games begin !
***For Tournament Play*** 1. Anyone who wishes to play can do so. First table buy in is 5k in mojo, to be sent to tabooluv in Voodoo. If you want to play, but can't afford the buy in, I will pay for your seat. However, should you win, the mojo will go to me as the risk of mojo was mine. If you prefer you can borrow mojo from a friend in Voodoo and then your seat and winnings will be yours. 2. If we have more than one table running, the top three winners from each table go on to play Finals. Because there are 10 seats, anyone wishing to buy into the Finals Table can do so by IMing me in Voodoo, and transferring another 5k in mojo. This will be on a first-come, first-served basis. So, if you are not in the top 3 on any table, you're best off to IM right away to try to buy in to finals. 3. We are going to try to schedule a regular game each week night at the same time. Whether we play for fun or play for mojo will depend on the amount of people wanting to play Tournament. Anyone wishing to be notified of regular or Tournament games, should leave their name with me, tabooluv. On occasion, we have games held randomly. These games are announced using MSN Messenger (ubstech@hotmail.com) either by me, or by UB. If you would like to be informed of random games, contact ub@ubstech.net or myself, tabooluv in Voodoo and we can exchange MSN info privately. 4. Depending on the players, we may also run a High Rollers Tournament. These will be set by the group playing at the time, but will be 10k to 15k to 20k and up. For a High Roller Tournament, the one initially requesting it will have to get some players together to agree on what the mojo ante will be. And will be responsible for contacting myself, and UB if the game is not set at the regular times. 5. For anyone who has joined already, or will be joining shortly. I would very much like to see some support, in that you also inquire among your friends, others who might be interested in joining future Tournaments or friendly games. Thank You tabooluv & UB End ..........................Take Me To The Top Sound bites are small sound files you can play
while chatting in Voodoo. You can download them at the Sound Bites page of this
site.
End ..........................Take Me To The Top Find an image that you would like to use as your
avatar. Cartoons and artwork work the best for transparent avs. Photo's of real
life people do not cut as cleanly, however, you can make a transparent av or
partial transparent av out of any image. I suggest that you cut/crop the image
into a normal square av at first to see if the size works in Voodoo before you
continue any further. It's frustrating to spend a lot of time cutting an av only
to find out it's too big and wont import. Resizing after it's cut will not
work...you'd have to re-cut the av after resizing it to get the edges clean
again.

End ..........................Take Me To The Top There are 52 cards in the pack, and the ranking of the individual cards, from high to low, is ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. There is no ranking between the suits - so for example the king of hearts and the king of spades are equal. A poker hand consists of five cards. The categories of hand, from highest to lowest, are listed below. Any hand in a higher category beats any hand in a lower category (so for example any three of a kind beats any two pairs). Between hands in the same category the rank of the individual cards decides which is better, as described in more detail below. In games where a player has more than five cards and selects five to form a poker hand, the remaining cards do not play any part in the ranking. Poker ranks are always based on five cards only. Some readers may wonder why I deal with how to compare (say) two threes of a kind of equal rank. This obviously cannot arise in basic draw poker, but such comparisons are needed in poker games using shared (community) cards, such as Texas Hold'em. 1. High CardFive cards which do not form any of the combinations listed above. When comparing two such hands, the one with the better highest card wins. If the highest cards are equal the second cards are compared; if they are equal too the third cards are compared, and so on. So A-J-9-5-3 beats A-10-9-6-4 because the jack beats the ten. 2. PairA hand with two cards of equal rank and three other cards which do not match these or each other. When comparing two such hands, the hand with the higher pair is better - so for example 6-6-4-3-2 beats 5-5-A-K-Q. If the pairs are equal, compare the highest ranking odd cards from each hand; if these are equal compare the second highest odd card, and if these are equal too compare the lowest odd cards. So J-J-A-9-3 beats J-J-A-8-7 because the 9 beats the 8. 3. Two PairsA pair is two cards of equal rank. In a hand with two pairs, the two pairs are of different ranks (otherwise you would have four of a kind), and there is an odd card to make the hand up to five cards. When comparing hands with two pairs, the hand with the highest pair wins, irrespective of the rank of the other cards - so J-J-2-2-4 beats 10-10-9-9-8 because the jacks beat the tens. If the higher pairs are equal, the lower pairs are compared, so that for example 8-8-6-6-3 beats 8-8-5-5-K. Finally, if both pairs are the same, the odd cards are compared, so Q-Q-5-5-8 beats Q-Q-5-5-4. 4. Three of a KindThree cards of the same rank plus two other cards. This combination is also known as Triplets or Trips. When comparing two threes of a kind the hand in which the three equal cards are of higher rank is better. So for example 5-5-5-3-2 beats 4-4-4-K-Q. If you have to compare two threes of a kind where the sets of three are of equal rank, then the higher of the two remaining cards in each hand are compared, and if those are equal, the lower odd card is compared. 5. StraightFive cards of mixed suits in sequence - for example Q-J-10-9-8. When comparing two sequences, the one with the higher ranking top card is better. Ace can count high or low in a straight, but not both at once, so A-K-Q-J-10 and 5-4-3-2-A are valid straights, but 2-A-K-Q-J is not. 5-4-3-2-A is the lowest kind of straight, the top card being the five. 6. FlushFive cards of the same suit. When comparing two flushes, the highest card determines which is higher. If the highest cards are equal then the second highest card is compared; if those are equal too, then the third highest card, and so on. For example K-J-9-3-2 beats K-J-7-6-5 because the nine beats the seven. 7. Full HouseThis consists of three cards of one rank and two cards of another rank - for example three sevens and two tens (colloquially known as "sevens full" or more specifically "sevens on tens"). When comparing full houses, the rank of the three cards determines which is higher. For example 9-9-9-4-4 beats 8-8-8-A-A. If the threes of a kind were equal, the rank of the pairs would decide. 8. Four of a kindFour cards of the same rank - such as four queens. The fifth card can be anything. This combination is sometimes known as "quads", and in some parts of Europe it is called a "poker", though this term for it is unknown in English. Between two fours of a kind, the one with the higher set of four cards is higher - so 3-3-3-3-A is beaten by 4-4-4-4-2. It can't happen in standard poker, but if in some other game you need to compare two fours of a kind where the sets of four cards are of the same rank, then the one with the higher fifth card is better. 9. Straight FlushFive cards of the same suit in sequence - such as J-10-9-8-7. Between two straight flushes, the one containing the higher top card is higher. An ace can be counted as low, so 5-4-3-2-A is a straight flush, but its top card is the five, not the ace, so it is the lowest type of straight flush. The cards cannot "turn the corner": 4-3-2-A-K is not valid. 10. Royal FlushThis is the highest poker hand. It consists of ace, king, queen, jack, ten, all in the same suit. As all suits are equal, all royal flushes are equal. End ..........................Take Me To The Top Removing the Black Border Around Painted Avs -Using PSP
