The debut novel by Andy Bellin is the ideal gift for any poker enthusiast. Written in the style of a memoir from a seasoned long time amateur turned poker pro, the book takes you through the very basics of poker, explaining the theories behind it and the traditions.
Although concentrating mostly on Texas Hold ‘Em Up, a consequence of the increased interest in the game over the last few years due to the Sky and Cable television coverage, Bellin does touch upon other variations of the game. In fact he also mentions a few hybrid versions that you almost certainly have never heard of. He is clearly passionate about poker and an expert at his craft.
One of the more essential skills that I learnt from this book was the section explaining how to work out your outs and pot odds, simply explaining a very complicated and often intimidating area of the game.
A must have for anyone interested in poker or gambling in general.

Britons have started spending their weekends in uniquely constructed theme parks. Everyone enjoys the environment filled with adventure and frolic at such parks.
Chester zoo is much more than a theme park. It combines the rare sights of African and Asian animals along with a lively environment where visitors can explore all the wonders of nature. This zoo is located in North West England. It was founded in 1931 and now encompasses an area of about 400 acres. It has been given the recognition of being one among the excellent 15 zoos all over the world by the famous Forbes magazine. The USP of the zoo is its large and amazing collection of animals. The specialty of this zoo is that it also houses some threatened species of animals such as black rhinoceros and Congo buffalo.
The entire zoo can be explored through a monorail called Zoofari Railway. Once you aboard this train, you will be able to see some distinct species of animals in the zoo. It also has two stopovers, one at a lions section and the other at the elephant exhibit. This zoo is divided into discernible exhibits such as Giant Otters and Penguins, Mongoose Mania, Miniature Monkeys, and Bears of the Cloud Forest so that animal lovers can have an insight into animal species such as penguins, black-tailed marmosets, spectacled bears, and mongoose. This place also has about 256 rare flora species.
