If you prefer top of the line casinos then casino-on-net, a free online poker site that also offers other kinds of games that you can also enjoy, is definitely for you.

Ever since its official launch, which was in the year 1996, more than seven million people have encountered the fun and challenge of casino-on-net. It is the only online poker site that offers its users a very wide selection of free online poker games, between private table and public table, wherein you can play with the other users. You can also play with a group table if think you play better within a group.

Playing free online poker is much more varied than playing in a plain poker room. Free online poker rooms have different strategies and odds that are deemed to be one of a kind. Yet, playing free poker online is more comfortable and also even more profitable for a few.

These free online poker players win and bag the prize because they have a good understanding on how to play by the rules efficiently, and not against them. They probably have also availed of strategy guides from a free online poker variant.

If you still do not know much about free online poker tournaments, then here are some explanations about free online poker tournaments that could turn out to be doubly helpful to you. A free online poker tournament is a contest where every free online poker player begins with chips of equal amount and continues playing the free online poker game until one player remains and wins all chips.

Hopefully, that piece of information dawned light, even just a small amount of light, on your vision concerning free online poker tournaments. You have to understand it first before you can actually join for you to have a better chance of winning the prize.

Blinds or antes are raised consistently throughout the free online poker tournament. The small blind is the player whom you can find at the left side of the dealer button. The big blind, however, is not found at the right side of the dealer button, but is located at the left side of the small blind. And no, there is no medium blind.

There are two kinds of free online poker tournaments. The first kind is the sit and go tournament. This kind of tournament usually happens on a single table. The sit and go tournament also has a maximum of ten players only. It starts as soon as each of these said ten players is seated.

Just so you would know, the seats in a sit and go tournament are given randomly. This kind of tournament would also resume until the winner stays. Rewards are more usually also given to the runners-up.

So if you do not end up being the free online poker winner of this kind of tournament, the sit and go tournament, you do not have to fret for there are also prizes that will be rewarded to you, if you do get the rank of runners-up.

Now, the second kind of free online poker tournament is the multi table tournament. This kind of tournament has many players who are distributed across quite a number of tables. The officials of this kind of tournament have already prepared everything that is needed to be prepared beforehand, including the setting of starting times.

The players that are going to play in this multi table tournament must also register first, and should register before the game and not during. Now if you have done exactly that, you are now considered eligible to play a game of free online poker under the multi table tournament.

All of the assigned seats are randomly drawn before the start of the multi table tournament. As the play continues and some of the players end up getting knocked out, the remaining free online poker players are transferred to different tables to be able to keep them full. Tables will break down from the highest numbered to the lowest numbered, and not the other way around. The moving of free online poker players from table to table, which takes place because of the breaking down, is also and still done randomly.

All of this continues until only one free online poker player remains. Tournaments will only stop when one player wins all the chips. Players are out of the game when they do not have any chips left.

Chile, The Ultimate Adventure

Chile, The Ultimate Adventure

I’ve written a great deal on Chile but I’ve for the most part concentrated on Santiago and the major outlying areas. In this article I’ll concentrate more on the beach and coastal areas.
I frequent these areas just about every single weekend and had, for a time, planned on building my cottage near the coastal areas. I can say there’s still a great deal of readily available land for purchase in the coastal areas also.
Prices for a lot range about $3500 to $7500, depending on the size and locations desired. In my ebook on Chile, I have specified some websites you can go to look at that have photos of available land lots and surrounding areas. These areas are very attractive and rustic. The kind of places, where a small cabin would make one feel so cozy and at home in the environment.
The coastal areas of Chile have a lot to offer anyone who is thinking of living there. The most popular area or city is Viña Del Mar. It’s the most popular beach or coastal town due to the fact that, it has a casino, which makes it the central focal point. People travel for miles around to go to the casino and this is where the Chilean elite and well to do play. It’s very common to run into local tv personalities at the casino and Saturday’s are the best for casino action. The casino hotel itself almost rivals the MGM in Las Vegas, in terms of luxury.
If you’re not a gambler that’s ok also, because Viña Del Mar has a wealth of shops, restaurants and waterfront activity for any and all to enjoy. Right next door to the casino is a large city park where you can rent scooters, bicycles and more for the kids, if you’re looking for a bit of romance, then try a “Victoria”, which is a horse drawn carriage ride around the city center.
Right behind the casino is the carriage stand, where you and your loved one can take a slow ride down one of the side streets that is parallel with the ocean. You can ride and see the waves and the sunset.
Going into the main part of downtown Viña, you will find tons of street vendors selling anything from oil on canvas paintings of seascapes, to handcrafted leather items and more. There’s much to see and do and there are more small curio shops then I’ve ever seen in my life in Viña. If you’re looking to collect unique and rare items, this would be the place to start.
Now as far as accommodations, the cheapest places are called “residenciales”. These are old family houses where you can rent a room for a very low price, you won’t find luxury but it’s cheap and clean. One of the best places can be found at:
Residencial Blanchait
Avenida Valparaiso 82-A
Viña Del Mar
Singles USD 20.00 – 25.00
There’s fine dining in Viña but if you want something fast and simple there are tons of cafes and fast food type of restaurants. Fine dining is great but this city is one with people on the move who don’t always want to take the time to enjoy a fine cuisine. Everybody’s coming and going at all times of day and night. The city is not as lit up as Las Vegas but believe me when I say it has the same feel, the same energy and the same excitement.
During the month of February, the Viña Del Mar International Song Festival has been held each year since 1970, lasting all of six days. The venue for this major event is the Quinta Vergara amphitheatre, and it’s organized in three parts: the first is the international competition, which traditionally has around ten countries taking part; then there is the folk section, with performers coming from all over Chile; and finally the international show, sprinkled with international stars, and the ever-hopefuls who wish to win over the demanding audience, and let me tell you, Chilean crowds are very tough to please when it comes to entertainment.
Many american cruise ships are starting to make regular stops now in Viña Del Mar which is quickly making it a very international city. One of my other favorite cities is Valparaiso. Valparaiso is only ten minutes by car from Viña Del Mar and it’s considered a historic city. This city has the same protection as that of Prague; nothing in this town can be changed. It all must be preserved exactly as is.
Valparaiso is more or less a historical monument, the whole city! It’s very old but this is its charm and character. A real treat in Valparaiso, is a ride on an ascensore. The city of Valparaiso has been called “The Vertical City” because it was built on large hills, and so the city is truly divided. The shops and stores are in the lower part of the city but the residential living is in the hilltop areas, and to get from the hills to the lower part of the city you can take an ascensore.
That is, basically a large elevator car that takes you from the upper to the lower part of the city and vice versa. It’s only a couple hundred pesos for the ride but it’s a thrill you’ll always remember and cherish. The ascensores where first built and put into use sometime in 1883 and then there were over 83 working units throughout the city giving the townspeople access to the lower parts of the city.
Now there are only 15 working units left. It’s amazing to see these little boxes going up and down tracks built into the sides of hills. They work just like old time elevators in that they use a counterweight system to provide the lift. It’s highly suggested if you plan on coming to Chile you make this one of the things you want to experience.
If you want more info on them you may want to get your hands on my eMag, that’s free at my website. Valparaiso has always reminded me of a European city, due to its architecture and styling. Narrow, cramped cobble stoned streets, give a definite air of old world European charm.
It has always reminded me of Paris, and once you’ve walked down the streets you’ll feel the European influence too, even some of the street names are French. There are several good cafes that are French in name also. One place I can recommend for cozy eating with Euro flair is the Le Filou De Montpellier Café. Stop by and get a sandwich and a cup of tea, you’ll be glad you did.
There’s also Casa Museo, the museum for Pablo Neruda, a great Chilean writer. This is definitely a cultural event and worth seeing. The Brighton Hotel is a great place to stay that also has a lounge with lots of excitement! There are all types of places to find action in Valparaiso.
Just try to get here before June which is the rainiest month for this area, and when it rains it truly pours!
So now comes the big question; is this a good place to potentially live in? The answer is yes it is. Rents are cheap here and that‘s because there are no modern buildings here, remember Valparaiso is a historical city, so there’s no new building going on.
Do keep in mind though; it’s a bohemian lifestyle here in the real sense of the word.
The apartment buildings are old and Chile is a country that is only interested in what’s new and seemingly modern. Most do not wish to live in an older building, as I’ve said in my previous writings. Landlords find it difficult to rent older buildings out. This is why rents are so low here but this is not the case in all places. No, in some parts of the city the rent is high, because you’re living near the ocean. Overall, for the right person, this can be an ideal situation though.
There’s very little work in Valparaiso. Most work in Santiago and commute everyday. It’s just a little over an hour from Santiago to Valparaiso and Viña Del Mar and for many this is the only way to make a living. But due to the fact that cruise ships are making regular stops here and the casino is the big draw, I suspect a persona can make a great living teaching casino personnel English.
There are also smaller areas that are all along the coast, that make great hideaways, and places to live. If you have a car, I’d say take a drive down the coastal highway to Con Con (pronounced, Cone Cone). This is a great coastal town. Sleepy, rustic but with real spirit, several hundred apartment complexes line the ocean with the only thing separating them from the sand is the two lane highway.
Don’t be alarmed if you happen to see so many Greek styled apartments in this area. That’s normal. Remember what I said about Santiago being an eclectic and diverse city? The same is true for the coastal areas also. You’ll swear that you’re taking a drive in Greece when you see the stylings and the color schemes of the apartments and that’s one of the things that make Con Con so interesting. It almost seems to be a misplaced city.
Whether you’re going to this area or coming back from it you will pass Edelweiss. It’s a Swiss restaurant that has a breathtaking view of the ocean and nearby cliffs. Stop and soak up more Euro styled culture at this great restaurant and have a piece of cake and coffee. Check out the menu for other traditional Swiss and German dishes. The best time to go is around 4pm, any later than that and you risk running into the early evening crowd. Just look for the large Swiss flag and you’ll know you’re there.
Ah yes, you’re wondering now, what’s the average rent for a place in Con Con right? Well it averages around $375 give or take, depending again on how new or old the building is. Always expect to pay more if the building is newer and as I have said in my past writings, you don’t want a newer building.
Here in Chile, the newer apartment buildings do look all modern and such but they are oh so small space-wise. The older buildings have way more character and are alot more spacious in size. Again, go to my website and download a free copy of Global Living and check out the pictorial on Valparaiso and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
My only complaint, and the reason why in the end I chose to start building my cabin elsewhere, is that the airport is very far from the Valparaiso-Viña Del Mar area. From the airport, these areas are almost two hours away. So I thought to myself, if I arrive from traveling and have been on a plane for ten hours, I don’t want to spend an additional two hours in a car just to get home.
So I ruled out building near the beach and coastal areas but I love them so much that I spend just about every weekend in these areas. My friends like to go to gamble at the casino (they’re gambling addicts, but that’s another story in itself) but I like to explore and look around or find a good place to eat.
If you love photography, then these areas are a photographers dream! Even if you’re not a great photographer, take lots of pictures anyway! You’ll be glad later you did. There’s no way you can come to any of these towns and not leave with a good feeling. I personally, doubt one can come here and not entertain the idea of moving and living there.
Don’t think for a moment you can’t live and make it in any one of these cities or places, because chances are with a bit of resourcefulness you can. There’s nothing like staring out over the cities from a hilltop and enjoying the lights and the sound of the waves hitting the shores.
It’s then that you’ll realize, just as I did, there’s so much the world has to offer, and that there’s a place for everyone. You just have to find your place and make it your home. Who knows, maybe the beach areas of Chile will one day become your new home.
