INPUT ARTICLE: Article: No matter what type of poker you're playing, some hands will be worse than others. When you're just starting out, memorize the worst hands you can get in poker, and immediately fold as soon as you draw those. This will prevent you from playing a bad game, and losing money on a bad hand. Some examples of bad hands in Texas Hold'em are a 2 and 7, a 2 and 8, and a 3 and 8. One example of a bad hand in Five Card Draw is a hand with a 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7, with all four suits represented. Teach yourself the stand-out hands in traditional poker plays and ruthlessly pursue the pot when you get dealt such a hand. Be careful to hide your poker tells and try to play off how good your hand is for as long as possible. Good hands in Texas Hold'em include Ace-Ace, King-King, and Queen-Queen. Because of the way Five Card Draw works, the best hand is a fully-completed Royal Flush or similar high card. While your starting hand is a good indicator of how the game will probably go, there are many ways to increase your odds and change your chances in poker. At the end of each round, think about who is still in, what the pot is, who is bluffing, and how you think your hand compares. Make decisions on whether to bet, call, fold, or raise throughout the game, and don't be afraid to leave a game if you're doing poorly, even if you've already put some money in the pot. No matter what type of poker you're playing, the odds are always firmly rooted in math and information. Practice counting cards so you know what cards are remaining and what your chances are of drawing the card you need.

SUMMARY: Memorize bad hands. Capitalize on good hands. Don't rely exclusively on your starting hand. Learn how to count cards.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When a dog isn't eating, oftentimes she isn't drinking either. Dehydration is a major concern and can cause serious problems. Keep an eye on your dog to make sure she doesn't become dehydrated. To do this, check her gums. They should be pink, wet, and slick, not dry. You can also press a finger to your dog's gums until they change color. When you remove your finger, the color should return immediately. If it takes a few moments, the dog may be dehydrated. Dogs who are vomiting or who have diarrhea are at a high risk for dehydration. Never try to force water down your dog's throat. Forcing water down her throat can cause more problems if she doesn't swallow. Instead, try techniques to encourage her to drink on her own. If your dog has been vomiting, solid food probably will make her sicker. Give her salt-free broth or beef bouillon three to four times a day. This will help keep her hydrated while giving her needed nutrients. Homemade broth is better than canned broth. Unflavored Pedialyte, which is a drink for children containing electrolytes, can help your dog if she has not been eating or drinking. The Pedialyte can help replace much needed electrolytes. Sometimes, you can get your dog to lick a wet surface so she can get some water. See if your dog will lick water from your hand or fingers. You can also try to see if your dog will lick an ice cube. Sometimes, adding an ice cube to your dog's water can help. She might be more willing to drink it with the ice cube inside, which makes the water cooler. Some pets like to drink running water instead of still water, so also try a drinking fountain to encourage your dog to drink. Dehydration can cause serious problems. If your dog refuses to drink anything, take her to the vet. The vet can give her fluids through an IV and find out if there is an underlying condition.

SUMMARY: Check for dehydration. Do not force your dog to drink. Feed your dog broth. Give your dog Pedialyte. Let your dog lick water from something. Add ice to the dog's water. Take the dog to the vet.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The perimeter pieces are the 4 pieces of metal that form the rectangle for the trailer's base. For this trailer, use 2 length pieces 6 feet (1.8m) long and 2 width pieces 4 feet (1.2m) long. Either buy 4 pieces cut to this length, or buy a longer piece and cut it to size yourself. For this trailer, you'll need 20 feet (6.1m), or 240 inches (610cm), of steel total for the base. Buy enough to complete the job. If you're building your trailer to different dimensions, then adjust this step to meet your needs. Use a protractor and measure a 45-degree angle into both sides of each perimeter piece. Make sure the angles on each base piece are facing the same direction. Then use a power saw or miter saw and cut the angle into each piece. Miter saws are best to use here because you can adjust the saw to the angle you want to cut. This ensures you get a proper, 45-degree angle. Most power saws can cut metal, but be sure to use a blade designed for metal. Always wear goggles and gloves when cutting metal. A welding mask would be even better, because cutting metal produces sparks. Once the angles are cut, lay out the trailer perimeter. Work on a flat surface, like your driveway or garage floor. Lay out one of the 6ft (1.8m) pieces. Then fit a 4ft (1.2m) piece into each corner. Lay down the last 6ft (1.8m) piece to complete the rectangle. Push the pieces together so there is as little space between them as possible. If you aren't sure if you're working on a flat surface, put a level on the floor and check. the perimeter pieces together. With the perimeter formed, fasten the pieces together. Use a blowtorch or similar welding tool and weld along the corners of the rectangle. Weld all the areas you can reach first. Then let the metal cool down and flip it over so you can reach the bottom. Make sure there are no openings or holes in your weld spots. This keeps water out and prevents rusting. You can rent welding equipment from hardware stores, or buy it if you prefer. Wear a welding mask, thick gloves, and a leather apron while you weld. Never touch metal right after you welded it. Wait for everything to cool down first. Use the same type of steel beams you used for the perimeter. Measure the width between the 2 longer sections of the perimeter. Then cut a piece of steel to that length. Fit it in between the length pieces to make sure it fits snuggly. Don't worry if it's a tight fit or if you have to press the piece in. It should fit tight so it welds better. Measure the trailer lengthwise and find the halfway point. Mark this off with chalk. Then fit the support beam into this spot and weld it in place.

SUMMARY:
Get four 2in (5.1cm) x 3in (7.6cm) pieces of rectangular steel tubing for the perimeter. Cut a 45-degree angle into the end of each perimeter piece. Arrange the base pieces on a flat surface. Weld Cut a support beam for the center of the trailer bed. Weld the support beam at the halfway point of the trailer length.
