还不会浮潜?这篇教程你一定要看 !(浮潜安全隐患及应对方法)



关于浮潜,你了解多少呢?或许你认为:浮潜就是使用面镜、呼吸管、救生衣,漂浮在水面,头在水面观看海底景观的一种活动。事实上 ,浮潜包含了漂浮、下潜、上升、排水、换气、呼吸、自救与器材选择使用等等的技巧串连,掌握这些技巧,你甚至可以潜到水下跟鱼群共舞。浮潜看似简单,好多当地的服务提供者也相当容易切入这块活动经营中来,造成服务素质参差不齐的现状。每年在浮潜活动中失去生命的甚至比水肺潜水还要多,就是因为我们对浮潜的理解过于“肤浅”了。



关于浮潜的那些误解

误解一 :我不会游泳,所以不能浮潜。

会游泳的人确实更容易掌握浮潜技巧,但并不是因为技术,而是因为会游泳的人对水的恐惧性没有那么大。不会游泳是不会影响浮潜的 ,但要循序渐进。第一次浮潜需要在比较平静的海域,在专业教练的指导下进行。

误解二:浮潜只要提供浮潜三宝,再发件救生衣就可以下水玩了,并不需要专业教练的指导。

浮潜的潜水深度一般不超过3米,甚至大部分只是在海面漂浮,看上去是没有什么危险的事情。但由于浮潜的人员专业性不强、设备也相对简单,如果没有专业人员的陪同,反而更容易发生危险。浮潜的存在呛水导致溺水,被船撞、被螺旋桨割到;被海洋生物刮伤、 咬伤;海浪、海流较大时,由于经验不足不了解海面状况易被海浪卷走等安全隐患。在专业教练的指导和陪同下,可以避免发生这些危险。

误解三:呼吸管一直在进水,是呼吸管坏掉了或者质量不好!

呼吸管进水的机率确实非常高,只要配戴的角度不对或稍大有波浪都会使呼吸管进水。另外从水底浮升到水面时呼吸管进水。这时你就可以利用排水的技巧将水自呼吸管中排除后继续进行呼吸的动作。
 呼吸管排水的主要方式是——喷气式。喷气式是将肺里的空气由口中短截而有力的呼出去,由于现在的呼吸管大多有排水阀的设计,所以在呼气的力道上不必太过用力




于浮潜装备

浮潜三宝和救生衣是浮潜的标配。脚蹼、潜水面罩、呼吸管统称浮潜三宝。
注意事项
1.脚蹼最好买套脚的,可以防止被珊瑚沙硌伤,在水中也容易控制方向;
2.游泳镜是不能浮潜的,一定要买潜水面罩;
3.呼吸管最好买干式的,普通呼吸管用起来难度大,容易进水。
另外,怕晒伤的话最好准备一件防晒衣,可以防止被水母、海蜇等有毒性的生物蛰伤。想要拍摄海底照片的话还要记得带上水下相机哦!



浮潜步骤解析

1.准备开始

戴上面罩,绑上松紧带,让它舒适地罩住你的眼睛和鼻子。可以的话到水里试验一下,看看会不会进水。如果你视力不好,可以戴一副有度数的面罩。确保呼吸管在靠近嘴巴的地方,先不要戴上去。轻轻咬住呼吸管的接口处,嘴唇包住它,调节好呼吸管的方向,通过管子缓慢平稳地呼吸。不要怕进水,你随时可以抬起头在水面上呼吸,只需放松地掌握呼吸即可。当你可以清楚听到自己平稳有节奏的呼吸声时,就说明你做好准备工作了。


2.学会排水

就像前面提到的浮潜中你都会碰到呼吸管进水的问题。这时只要将头部稍稍上浮,不要抬出水面,使得管子尾端在水面上。然后快速用力地呼气,这种爆发式的方法可以几乎把全部水分都排出管外。第二次同样快速用力吐气,把剩余的水分吐出去。重复这个步骤,你就可以除掉管子里所有的水分了。



3.熟悉浮潜姿势

穿上脚蹼,可以让动作幅度更大,速度更快,还不会因为拍打水面,而导致水花溅到通气管里。双手紧贴两侧,减少阻力。两脚伸展,使得脚蹼指向后方。两腿稍稍并拢,膝盖稍稍弯曲,慢而有力地踢水。保持脚蹼动作流畅、放松,从臀部发力,利用大腿肌肉,不要从膝盖来踢,否则会浪费不少能量。脚蹼要保持在水面下方。尽量避免踢出水花,否则会吓跑小鱼,还会让别的潜泳者感到不爽。浮潜最好在平静的水体中进行。如果浪比较大,也要学会随着波浪的起伏,调整自己的身体运动节奏,以一个平稳、舒适的步调来浮潜。



4.享受浮潜

如果是初次浮潜珊瑚礁上的浅水区域比较平静景色也很棒,熟悉一点可以乘船去的深水域。。狂风暴雨会搅浑海水,使得水里到处都是淤泥。如果天色阴暗,即使有潜水面罩也看不太清楚。如果昨晚刚下了一场雨,今天还是推迟一天再去吧。看不清水里的风景,浮潜也就失去了它的魅力。学会辨识各种鱼类和珊瑚。光看到一条鱼还不足以了解它。你可以记住本地各种鱼类的形状和色彩,这样就能把浮潜变成一次有趣的海洋生态调查活动。看到一条鱼不认得,就记住它的颜色样式,过后再查查看。




关于浮潜的安全隐患以及应对方法

1.即使你对自己的浮潜经验非常自信,也必须在专业的教练陪同情况下才能脱掉救生衣。很多人想要在海里留下美好的照片,而因为救生衣影响美观而脱掉救生衣,海上情况变化莫测,如果没有专业人员陪同容易发生危险,不可存在侥幸心理。
2.浮潜时可以带面包喂鱼。下水后把食物捏碎了喂鱼,这时会在你身边聚集大量的鱼。但不会聚集鲨鱼,鲨鱼对这种食物不感兴趣。不要试图用手摸鱼,因为你肯定摸不到鱼,反而有可能会刺激鱼做自我保护性的攻击你。要知道,即便是一、二斤重的鱼,也会轻易的将你的手指咬断!
3.浮潜深度的选择。水下景色最美的地方一定是深浅水交界处,鱼大且多,珊瑚状态最好。但是这个位置也是水流较急的地方,且即便是浅处,水深也达二米开外,所以不掌握浮潜技术,轻易不要到这个位置浮潜。而且要注意保留充分的体力能游回去,因为很多岛屿从浅水到深浅水交界处有几十米甚至几百米的距离,所以一定要量力而行!
4.浮潜时注意潮水的涨落,涨落潮的水位差在半米左右。当你长时间的在大片的珊瑚中浮潜的时候,避免因落潮而将你困在珊瑚区。但是对于没有长时间海上经验的人来说非常难以判断,所以专业的教是非常必要的 。如果出现这种情况时,一定不要着急,先抬头观看岛屿的方向,然后在水中找到最深的位置,尽量将身体展平,用脚腕带动脚蹼打水,慢慢的从珊瑚上面游出珊瑚区。不要有空就钻,有可能会离岛越来越远而进入深水区。
5.水下拍摄注意事项。如果你有防水的照相机或摄像机,准备在浮潜的时候拍摄,那么下水前一定要仔细地检查好防水密封,所有的密封圈都要涂抹硅油。有一丝的头发或细小的珊瑚沙压在密封圈上,都会渗水而损坏设备,海水的腐蚀性极强,一旦进水,是无法修复的。

How To Play Roulette Tutorial

How To Play Roulette Tutorial


Roulette is one of the most popular table casino games in history and entire casinos and gambling venues are based around it. Roulette is a game of pure luck and does not include any skill or any decision making. The only decision roulette players will make is placing their wagers, and they will do that before the game begins. Wagers are placed on random numbers and are paid if the roulette ball lands on the number or the bet they chose, so it is a matter of pure luck. There is no need to be a professional or an experienced gambler.










The game consists of a roulette wheel, a wooden wheel that contains 37 or 38 slots. The zero (and double zero in America) slot is green, while the number slots (from 1 to 36) alternate between black and red. The second part is the roulette ball that spins on that wooden wheel until it lands in a particular slot to reveal the winning number for that round. The wagering area is usually found on a green piece of cloth right next to the wheel. It is where players will place their chips and choose the numbers and bets that they wish to place their stakes on.

Roulette History

Meaning “Little Wheel” in French, Roulette is considered one of the oldest casino games in history, dating all the way back to the wheel-based games in China and Ancient Rome. The roulette wheel of today was invented in France, by Blaise Pascal in the 17th century. Pascal was a French mathematician who wanted to create a gambling game that would spin and the winner would be decided according to the landing spot of a small object (the roulette ball). The game spread across Europe and it flourished specifically in Germany for a while. The true success of the game was in Monaco, as roulette was the foundation of the gambling empire in the city of Monte Carlo.



Modern roulette owes its origins to Louis and François Blanc in 1842. They invented the French roulette wheel that contains 37 numbers, including a zero. The zero was introduced to increase the advantage of the casino so the game did not end up being a losing proposition to the casinos offering it. The brothers spread the game throughout Germany until gambling there was banned. It was at this point that Louis and François were introduced to King Charles.
King Charles desperately needed to alleviate the financial woes that were dominating his kingdom and he had the Blanc brothers create a casino for his people. In return, the roulette table became a great source of income for the kingdom. Roulette soon gained popularity and became the main symbol of Monte Carlo’s casino culture.
Years later, the game made its way across the Atlantic ocean and it started to spread in the Unites States where it proved to be very popular as well, especially during the Gold Rush. With a booming economy, the rich were drawn to roulette becoming high rollers. The popularity of the game increased incredibly. As a result, casinos decided to increase their edge and advantage once more with the introduction of the double zero slot. This is the only American contribution to roulette history.




Today, the French version of roulette, the single “0″, can be found in European casinos and the American version of roulette, the double “00″, can be found in such places as Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Currently, Roulette is more popular in Europe, mainly because of the better odds it predicts based on the one “0″ vs. double “00″ difference. Of course, in the online gambling world, players can enjoy either one of these versions, regardless of their location. Online casinos have even created a number of other unique roulette versions of their own for players to try out.

How to Play Roulette

The roulette game, like any other casino table game, starts with players placing their wagers. Since all the wagers will be put on the same wagering area, with the probability of more than one player placing the same wager, players will have to purchase different chips. These chips have different colors so each player’s chips can be easily identified. These special roulette chips can only be purchased and cashed at the roulette table, which is why players should cash their winnings at the table before leaving. The chips cannot be cashed in at the cashier.




After players get their colored chips, they will start the game by placing wagers. Players will place wagers by putting the desired number of chips on the numbers or the different bets that the game offers. The wagering area, which is a big piece of green cloth on a table, includes all of the different numbers and bets the game has. While they are placing these chips the dealer, or croupier, will throw the roulette ball on the roulette wheel in the opposite direction it is spinning.
While the ball is spinning, players will be able to change their wagers, retract them or place new ones. Once the ball starts to slow down, the croupier will say loudly “No More Bets Please.” At this point all of the wagers that are on the roulette table’s wagering area are final and players are not permitted to change, retract or place new bets.






After the ball lands on any of the numbers, it will be declared as the winning number. The croupier will then place a small glass object that is called a dolly on the winning number. He will then start to pay players their winnings if they have placed winning bets while taking the losing bets. Of course, the croupier will pay players in their own color so they can use these chips to place more bets on the table. While the dealer is paying the winning bets and taking in the losing bets, players are not permitted to place new wagers or touch their chips. After all is done and paid, the dealer will signal players that they can start placing wagers again. They will start placing wagers and the same procedure is repeated spin after spin.
The different bets that are available pay differently according to the odds of each bet. The bets that have a higher chance and better odds will pay less than the bets that have bad odds. This is why the highest payout is paid by the bet that has the worst odds, which is the straight number bet as players have a 1/37 or a 1/38 chance of winning. This is why it pays a lot for players to know the different bets and their payouts before they engage in a roulette game.




Roulette Rules

Roulette is pretty simple and straightforward, but the game does come with a set of rules and etiquette that players have to know before they start placing chips at the table. Here are some of these important rules:







  • Players are not permitted to move any of their chips or even touch them once the croupier says no more bets.
  • Once the dealer places the dolly object on the winning number, players should not move or touch the chips before he removes it to signal a new round.
  • Players cannot use a camera or cell phones at the table as all electronics are prohibited.
  • Players can only put cigarettes, drinks, money or chips on the roulette table.
  • Changing chips or cash can only be done between roulette spins and not during the game play.
  • Players who want to place called bets will say it and if the dealer is not busy, he will accept them. These bets are only official if the croupier repeats them in a loud voice.
  • The seats at the table are only for players who have bets on the table. This will happen if there is only 1 player sitting at the roulette table. Players who want to sit at the table have to place bets.
  • Players can only start to place new bets once the dealer clears all of the losing wagers and has paid all of the winning ones from the last spin. Players will then be given time to place wagers and then he will start to spin the next round.





Of course, most of these rules do not exist in the online gambling world. At online casinos, roulette is a single player game where players will have the roulette table for themselves. There are no croupiers, no other players and no colored chips. Playing roulette online is much easier and simpler in than land based roulette.
You can find plenty of different roulette versions at most online casinos, including the two most commonly played ones, American Roulette, and French Roulette. Some casinos may even offer innovative versions of roulette, created just for the online gambling world. For example, the mini roulette game is an optional game containing only half of the numbers that are found on a normal wheel of roulette. There is also multi-wheel roulette versions that enable players to place wagers on up to 8 roulette wheels at the same time as each wheel spins separately. Some of these innovative games have their own rules and payouts, so we advise you to check the rules and payout tables of each game before playing. These rules can be viewed by clicking on “Rules” or “View Rules” at the roulette game. Likewise, remember these games may also have their own house edge and payouts.

Roulette Odds

The odds of the roulette wheel depend on what version of the game is being played. Different versions have different setups, and thus have different odds and a different house edge.
House edge is the advantage the casino has over the players and is the percentage of chips that are taken from the winnings of players. For French roulette, the single zero roulette version, the house advantage or edge is 2.7 percent. For American roulette, the double zero version, it is 5.26 percent and is equal 7.9 percent on the 5-number bet (0-00-1-2-3).
A lot of players prefer to play French roulette because it has a lower house edge. French roulette has better odds than American roulette also because it has one zero, which means that for a straight number bet, players have a 1/37 chance of winning. American roulette has 38 number slots, so for a straight number bet the chance is 1/38 instead of 1/37.





This shows the odds are primarily affected by the version of roulette being played but also are affected by the bet itself. As noted earlier, different bets have different odds.
  • Reds/Blacks: This bet is placed on Red or Black and, since the table contains 18 blacks and 18 reds plus 1 or 2 green spots, the odds are almost 50:50. This is why the bet pays even money (1 : 1).
  • Even/Odd: Llike the last bet, the odds are 50:50 and it pays even money.
  • Straight number bet: Players will place a wager on a specific number and will be paid 35 to 1 since players have a 1/37 or 1/38 chance of winning this bet.
  • Three number bets, also called a street bet, pays eleven to one.
  • The 6 number bet pays five to one.
  • The 2 number bet pays seventeen to one.
  • A column or a dozen bet pays two to one.

How To Play Poker Tutorial


Poker is a competitive card game among several players. In this game, the dealer will not interfere with the gameplay; he will just deal the cards and pay winnings. The casinos or poker venues make money by taking a percentage of the winnings or charging players a fee. Of course, some versions of poker have been adapted to become casino games where players play against the dealer who is representing the house or the casino, but these are not the original poker games that are widely known and played by millions.



There are different versions of Poker, but they all share the same primary concept, which is to have a better poker hand and the same poker hand ranking. The showdown will occur at the end where the remaining players will show their hands and a comparison will take place — the highest poker hand will be the winning hand. Poker can vary with the dealing order, the betting system and the wagering rounds between the dealing procedures.
In order to master the game of poker and understand the poker ranking, follow the tutorial to help you understand the game and its rules. This tutorial includes the history of the game, the rules, the odds and the strategy that will help you become a professional poker player.

Poker History

According to the British actor Joseph Crowell, the history of poker dates back to 1829 in Louisiana. The game was played by 4 players with 20 decks of cards. According to the book “An Exposure of Arts and Miseries of Gambling” by Jonathan H. Green, the game then started to spread from New Orleans to the other areas of the United States. The game traveled with the boats of the Mississippi River — these boats had a reputation for having a lot of gambling activities.



The game we know now was not the same in those times. It evolved and went through a number of phases, specifically during the Civil War in the United States. All of these phases and circumstances resulted in multiple versions, including Stud Poker and Straight Poker. Other versions came about with the introduction of new concepts like the wild card, community card, lowball and split pot poker.
The popularity of poker started to increase rapidly in 1970 when the first ever World Series of Poker (WSOP) took place. This was the first poker competition to take place on a wide scale. Those who won in these early tournaments included some of the biggest names in the poker world, including Bobby Baldwin, Puggy Pearson, Amarillo Slim and Doyle Brunson. Doyle Branson is the author of the first book about poker strategy, called “Super / System.”
Mainstream media capitalized on the popularity of poker by the 1980s. In the media, poker was portrayed and viewed as a recreational activity. It made an appearance in more than 10 episodes of the hit sci-fi TV show, “Star Trek,” where it was a weekly game the senior staff of the fictional spaceship enjoyed.
Poker rose to new heights in the 1990s when gambling started to spread in the United States. It was highly popular in Atlantic City, which is a gambling empire second in the United States only to Las Vegas.
The popularity of poker spiked in the first years of the 21st century, a direct result of hole-card cameras and the advent of online poker. Online poker helped the spread of the game to anyone who had a computer. No longer were players obligated to leave home in order to enjoy the game. As for the hole-card cameras, they single-handedly turned poker from a card game into a spectator sport that players can watch and enjoy.
Besides the WSOP, other poker tours that started to capitalize on the game’s popularity, including the World Poker Tour and the European Poker Tour. The first poker governing body, the International Federation of Poker, was founded in Switzerland in 2009.

How to Play Poker

How to play poker depends on the version itself. Different poker versions have different gaming and dealing procedures and different wagering rounds. So in order to cater to the needs of all poker fans, we are going to discuss the gaming procedure of four of the most popular poker versions.



Straight Poker:
There is not skill or decision making needed in Straight Poker. In this game, each player will place an Ante bet and will be dealt 5 cards. A wagering round will then begin and players will raise and re-raise or fold. When the wagering round is over, each player will show his 5 cards and the showdown will begin and the highest poker hand will win.
Texas Hold’em Poker:
Texas Hold’em Poker is one of the most popular poker games in the world. It is generally the kind played in online poker venues and in the WSOP.
The game starts as each player places an Ante. They will then be dealt two cards each, which will only be seen by their owner. A wagering round will take place and players will raise, call or fold. After that, the dealer will deal the flop, which consists of three cards dealt on the poker table. Another betting round will initiate, a fourth card dealt, then another wagering round and the last card (the river card.) Finally, the last and the most aggressive betting round will take place. The remaining players will then reveal their two cards and the player who has the best 5 cards from the 2 cards in his hand and the 5 cards on the table will win the pot.
7-Card Stud Poker:
This game was the most played poker game in the world before it was overtaken by Texas Hold’em Poker. In 7-card stud poker, players will start the game by placing an ante and they will also get 2 cards like Texas Hold’em. This is followed by a wagering round and then each player will be dealt a card that is facing up. This same procedure will continue until each player has 2 cards facing down in his hand and 5 cards facing up. After the final wagering round, players will show their two cards and the best poker hand they can form from the seven cards they have. Some games might use community cards, which are shared cards.
5-Card Draw Poker:
5-card draw poker was adapted to video poker games. In this game, players will be dealt 5 cards at once, facing down. A wagering round will take place, then players will select the cards they want to replace. They will give them back to the dealer and get replacement cards forming the final 5-card poker hand. A final wagering round will take place before the showdown.

Poker Rules

The rules of poker are pretty simple, but they do differ from one version to another. The basic rules remain the same across games, like the ranking of the poker hands. This is one of the most important rules because not knowing which hand is stronger can result in a disaster at the poker table. Here is the order of the different poker hands from the lowest to the highest hand:




High Card:
The High card is the highest card if no players have any poker hand. The strength of the high card against the same high card depends on the kicker, which is the second card in value. For example, a hand that has an Ace and a Jack will beat a hand that has an Ace and a 9 because it has an Ace High card and a Jack Kicker.
A Pair:
If a poker hand has two cards with an identical denomination, it is a pair. The strength of the pair against the same pair is also determined by the kicker in the same way as the high card.
Two Pairs:
When a player has two pairs in his hand. The fifth card is the kicker which sets the dispute between identical two pairs
Three of a Kind:
A Three of a Kind is when a poker hand has three identical cards. For example, a hand that consists of J, J, K J and Q is a Three of a Kind hand.
A Straight:
A Straight is when a player gets 5 consecutive cards in his poker hand, regardless of their suite and color. An example is a hand that has 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
A Flush:
When players get 5 cards that have the same suit and color, regardless of their value. So a hand that consists of J, K, 6, 5 and 4 of Spades is a Spade Flush. The strength of the flush against other flushes depends on the highest card in the hand.
Full House:
A mixed hand with a Pair and three of a kind. Players will have to get 2 identical cards and 3 identical cards such as a hand of J, J, K, K, and K.
Four of a Kind:
When players get four identical cards. There is another similar hand that is called Five of a Kind which can only be possible if there is a joker in the deck of cards. Four identical cards + a joker will form Five of a Kind.
A Straight Flush:
A mix between Flush and Straight. It occurs when players get 5 cards that are consecutive in value and they have the same suite.
Royal Flush:
This hand is formed when players get a straight flush that starts with a Ten and goes up to an Ace. For example, a poker hand of 10, J, Q, K and A of Spades would qualify to be a Royal Flush. This is the strongest poker hand possible.

Poker Odds

In order to understand and know your poker odds, you must calculate the “outs.” The “outs” are the cards that will improve your hand and make it a winning one. If you have a hand of 3, 4, 5, 6 and you think the other player has two Aces; you need the river card to be a 2 or a 7 so you can make a straight. So 2’s and 7’s are your “outs”.
For Example:
You have two cards in your hand that are “Queen of Hearts + 9 of Hearts” and on the table, there are “Ace of Hearts + King of Hearts + any two cards”. If the opponent starts to place big bets, there is a huge chance he has a pair of Kings or even a pair of Aces. You will not worry about him having a flush because you will have the highest Flush with the Queen. In order to win that hand, you need one more heart cards as the river so you can create your flush.
Every card deck contains 13 cards of the same suit: if you count out the cards, you have (2) and the cards on the table (2), which means there are 9 hearts left in the deck. Thus, you have 9 “outs”.
Now it is time to turn these “outs” into numerical odds so you can make a decision. Since there are fifty-two cards in the deck and you have 2 cards in your hand and there are four on the table, that leaves 46 cards (we ignore what the other player is holding).
That means that you have 9 cards out of 46 possible cards that could make a flush and win while there are 37 cards that can make you lose. The odds for you getting a winning card on the river are 37:9. This can be simplified to 4 to 1. Therefore, you are 4 times more likely to lose the hand than win it.
Now that we know your odds of winning are 4:1, the next decision is whether to call the bet or not. It depends on the amount of money in the pot. This does not mean you should go for it if the pot is big, but you should look at the ratio of the money you will win compared to the bet you are going to call. So if the opponent raised $10, making the pot equal $100, you have the chance to bet $10 on 4:1 odds to win $100. You should take the bet and call it because 4:1 odds means you will win $40 for $10, but you are getting the win at 10:1. You should call it in a heartbeat.

Poker Strategy

Poker is a game of decisions and you will have to make correct decisions to win. Even the best poker players lose at some point, so do not give up when you lose a few hands. You will lose some and win more if you make good decisions. Don’t judge your ability to play poker with a few poker hands, but look at your overall results over days, weeks and months.



Poker is basically a mathematical game that offers players incomplete information. Although that might sound a little complicated, it is not. On a basic level, winning a poker hand starts with selecting which starting hands to continue playing with. If you enter the game with a good hand more often than the other players, you are going to win more than they do.
Although the starting hands are very important, it is only one piece of the poker strategy puzzle. After deciding which hands to play with, you will also have to know how to play that good hand, when to raise, when to call and even when to fold — even if you have a good hand. You will have to calculate the odds, recognize the betting patterns of other players, use your position and bluff. All of these needs years of practice.
Don’t Become Emotional
Emotions can ruin your game of poker. Some players might try to get on your nerves or use your emotions against you. You should always keep calm and avoid any kind of emotional play. Being emotional will cause you to make bad decisions that are based on emotions rather than numbers. For example, if you are on a losing streak, other players might start to tease you knowing you are already mad because of the losing streak. This could cause you to double your bets because you are angry and trying to make up for the losses. If that happens, you should leave the game to cool off. The game will still be there after a couple of hours and it is going to be there tomorrow. Clear your mind before you can start playing again.
Bluffing
Bluffing is not recommended as it needs years of practice and depends on your ability to maintain a good poker face. Having a good poker face means keeping the same facial expressions regardless of whether you have a good or bad hand, so players will not know when you are bluffing. Bluffing means you will raise the bet or even go “all-in” while you have a very bad hand. This will cause other players who might have much better hands to fold thinking you have a much better hand. You should not always bluff because, if you do, other players will notice and they are most likely to call your bluff.
