Have you ever wanted to play poker on the tallest mountain in the world? Well, Everest Poker has teamed with Volvo to give players just such a chance. In one of Germany’s most exciting live poker events, card lovers from across the globe will be treated to a weekend of skiing, snowboarding, archery, and of course, one of the most unique poker experiences in the history of the game.

Heads-up is, without a doubt, my favorite way to play. It’s a true test of your poker skills, and the best way to improve your game. While it may be nearly impossible to find a one-on-one table in a brick and mortar card room, online clients such as Poker Stars and Full Tilt offer it as a regular staple. They’ve even gone so far as to incorporate heads-up tournament play. It’s something that any aspiring poker player should check out.

Much like a big, juicy fast-food burger on a television commercial, there are hands in poker which look amazingly delicious, but are in reality terrible for you. It seems as though both of these apparitions come along when we’re at our weakest, fooling us and giving rise to poor decision making. But whether it’s the hunger for food or the hunger for cash, we must keep our appetites in check, lest we affect our long-term health.
