Nice user interface.
You can play with the computer, or with players on the internet (no money involved).
You can play this game for practice and then go to Las Vegas to win real money.
In my opinion, in Vegas, Texas Hold'em is the only game in which you can win money by good strategies.

My 1st time to win all the AI players

Irvine, Calif. – The 2008 Olympic Games were a success for UC Irvine athletes and coaches, helping the U.S. to both gold and silver medals.

UC Irvine head men’s volleyball coach John Speraw was a member of the United States men’s indoor volleyball team that captured a gold medal. In an emotional tournament, the Americans went undefeated and earned the team’s first gold medal since 1988. UCI women’s volleyball assistant Jay Hosack was also member of the U.S. men’s staff, but did not travel with the team to Beijing.

In the pool, the All-American quartet of Ryan Bailey, Jeff Powers, Tim Hutten and Rick Merlo helped the U.S. men's water polo team to a silver medal, its best finish since 1988 when they also captured the silver. Bailey and Powers each added six goals during the tournament, while Hutten and Merlo, playing in their first Olympics, scored three and two goals, respectively.

Brittany Hayes, a current graduate student at UCI, also won a silver medal with the U.S. women’s water polo team.

Former UCI sailor Jay Glaser coached the Netherlands to a sixth-place finish in the Tornado event. It was Glaser’s fourth Olympic Games, competing as an athlete in 1984 and as a coach the last three Games.

In badminton, Eva Lee lost her singles match to Canada's Anna Rice in three sets, but made history as the first American to win a game in Olympic competition. Lee paired with May Mangkalakiri in doubles, but lost to Singapore's Yanmei Jiang and Yujia Li, 0-2.

Cyclist Amber Neben finished 33rd in the women's road race.

Former All-American sailor Nick Scandone will begin his Olympic quest at the Paralympics September 6-17 in Beijing. Scandone will be competing in the two-person keelboat event, skippering the SKUD 18 with crew Maureen McKinnon-Tucker.

★★ 北京时间8月15日晚，在北京工业大学体育馆举行的奥运会羽毛球女双决赛中，中国科技大学人文与社会科学学院科技传播系二年级学生杜婧、于洋以21比 14、21比13的比分击败对手，获得奥运会女双冠军。全国人大常委会副委员长、中国科学院院长路甬祥8月16日致信中国科技大学向杜婧、于洋表示热烈祝贺和诚挚问候，感谢她们为祖国和人民赢得了荣誉。

自从1992年羽毛球进入奥运会以来，只有中韩两个国家染指过奥运女双金牌。从1996年亚特兰特葛菲/顾俊为中国带回第一枚羽毛球金牌后，这一荣誉便再没从中国手中旁落。这是中国羽球队夺得的2008北京奥运会第1金，也是中国代表团在本次奥运会上获得的第26块金牌，同时也为即将迎来的中国科技大学五十周年校庆献上了一份厚礼。

★★ 8月13日晚，中国科大学生于洋、杜婧在2008年北京奥运会羽毛球女子双打半决赛中击败队友魏轶力、张亚雯，进入决赛。8月15日晚21：30，中央电视台第一套节目将现场直播2008年北京奥运会羽毛球女子双打决赛。

另外，于洋与何汉斌配合的混合双打也已经晋级四强。（最后拿了铜牌）

于洋、杜婧是中国科大人文与社会科学学院科技传播系二年级学生，曾代表我校参加2006年全国大学生羽毛球比赛，获得女子双打冠军。作为我国羽毛球女子双打的后起之秀，今年4月，于洋、杜婧的世界积分排名第一。

Xi said my English blog is not as good as my Chinese blog. Well, at least Mandarin is my quasi-native language. She also said I write blogs less often than I used to. That's because these days I have too many photos to organize and thus have less time to write stuff. Now, I decide to write more, and try to write in both languages.

Recently I've been having too much business. Last Thursday I just got back from Yellowstone. Then on Friday, I had to write an overdue resume and make a website, for yesterday's and today's conference at General Atomics at San Diego. Friday night, Guo's family offered dinner to many friends including me. After dinner, we got together to watch the Olympic opening ceremony. Saturday night, dinner at Lake Forest and poker afterwards with Xi et al. Yesterday and today, some colleagues and I commute to San Diego to attend the conference mentioned above. In order to avoid the jammed traffic, we took off at 6am. In spite of that, a lot of people were driving on the freeway already. The freeway entrance signal was on, 2 cars per green. What's worse, there's no carpool lane on quite a part of our way. Fortunately the traffic wasn't too bad. We kept driving at above 85mph.

Chinese version:
Xi说偶写英文blog不及中文写得传神（显然嘛，国语好歹是quasi-native），又说偶写得不够勤奋（以前都写纯文字，现在追求图文并茂，结果累积一堆照片都来不及整理，文字部分也就拖着了）。那好吧，现在开始少点应酬，多些写blog，另外争取写双语。

最近确实应酬很多，上周四黄石回来，周五先要赶制overdue的resume，然后做网站，都是为了昨天和今天的在San Diego的General Atomics开的会。General Atomics居然是政府机构，戒备森严，申请进出要提交包括resume在内的个人背景资料，才能获得通行证。周五晚应老Guo老婆邀请去吃晚饭，饭后看NBC录播的奥运开幕式，当时感觉很好很强大。周六跟Xi等在Lake Forest晚饭后打牌。昨天今天连续两天commute去San Diego开会。为避开freeway上的commute高峰大堵车，早上6点就上路。其实6点上路车也不少了，入口已经有红灯，2 cars per green。路上很长一段没有carpool lane，变态。不过形势不算太差，持续开在85mph以上。
