The Ordeal

Today's football match between Argentina and Germany was truly an ordeal.
The fans couldn't be as relaxed as usual, since there was a 1:1 after 90 minutes, 0:0 after another 30 minutes, until the penalty decided the game. Germany won! Again! =)
So that's a 4:2 for us coming with a ticket to the semi finals.
I'm off celebrating downtown now, will post some more pictures in my Photo Blog tomorrow!

I don't know if you know, but this is (an never was) NOT a part of the German hymn.
The part you're referring to belongs to the inofficial 4th verse that was written in 1921 by Albert Matthai. It was supposed to be a reaction to the defeat in WW1 and the peace treaty of Versailles.
It used to be sung by marines, combatants and German nationalists.
Today, it's still used by nationalists and Nazis to express their beliefs in the "superior German race".

I'm sure you didn't mean to, so don't use this part as our hymn. The actual lyrics are:
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit für das deutsche Vaterland! Danach lasst uns alle streben brüderlich mit Herz und Hand! Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit sind des Glückes Unterpfand; Blüh im Glanze dieses Glückes, blühe, deutsches Vaterland! Blüh im Glanze dieses Glückes, blühe, deutsches Vaterland!

@edwin: we dont like this "part" of our hyme, its a 3.Reich thing and we are proud to be a new generation of Germans. We have black and brown People in our Nationalteam, and we love them!

please read my comment above, it's got nothing to do with the 3rd Reich really, they're just using something that was never an actual part of the hymn.
You're right with the new generation, I actually think that even the World Cup does its part, since we're hosting this thing and invite the world to join us celebrating.
Finally we get the chance to show that we're friendly towards other countries and we devellop a reasonable national proud just now.
I'm not very into football, but I like the way we're represented in the world and the way we change for the better, finally not being ashamed of our country!

And so the two black aces are good AA preflop but once on the table, the turn will come four hearts and one puts the two black aces are no longer good. So good hands after the flop are: sets, straights, full, color or very strong draws (eg, color and straight), all other hands have to play carefully. Of course you should also think logically, if the board is AAAKQ is our pair of fours while giving full house is not good ...

One of the basic principles of ABC poker is, only play good hands!
2 No Bluff!
Favorites play and one of the main and most costly mistakes 95% of new players. Unfortunately, each of them seems to be that poker is the art of bluffing, because he heard somewhere so ... no and then bluffing in each hand and are surprised that it does not work. Firstly, the bluff was effective to the following two conditions:
- This must be done so that opponents rarely thought that the player never bluffs but play only with strong systems
- Opponents must be good, minded players who have passed the average hand
None of these conditions is not met for low rates: Enemies do not watch and do not think. Players are weak and have even average hands have passed. So even if you can bluff, say, twice for 100 chips, in the hands of a third party to fail and lose 500 It really does work!
