Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Going "all-in. Making side pots. Playing "heads-up.

Answer: " If you are very confident your hand will win, or you believe no other player will be willing to match you, you can push all your chips on the linea bold move. In a tournament, if "you're down to only 5 more big blinds/antes" then you'll be out after 5 rounds around the table if you don't make a stand, so you will want to go all-in pre-flop with a reasonably good hand, hoping to double up or get everyone to fold. If you have only 5 times the blinds and antes, just picking up the blinds and antes means a 20 percent increase for you, which is huge. So, for example, if you have any pair, any ace, any king, or any two face cards, strongly consider going all-in pre-flop -- if no one has yet entered the pot. You are "short-stacked" compared to other players and to the blinds/antes. If making any reasonably sized bet will put half or more of your stack into the pot, you are pot-committed and may as well go all-in to look stronger and apply maximum pressure. Even if you have the nuts (the best possible flop with your hold cards), don't try to slow-bet and raise just the minimum if you are already pot-committed. Any opponent with the slightest bit of observation will become suspicious why you did not simply go all-in, if you are strong. In any case, your opponents are likely to interpret an all-in from a short stack as a desperate move and call if any of them have a reasonably good hand. If you have enough more chips than an opponent who has a wager on the table, you may "put him or her all in" by betting equal to their total chips (you can say "all-in"). If no other player calls and the shorter stack doesn't fold, both reveal their cards in the showdown -- then any remaining community cards are dealt out one by one without any more wagering on each (because the all-in player has no more chips to bet with). If the other person wins you double that player up, but you have a chance to send that player home. If one player is all in, players who call that and still have more chips can still make additional bets with each other. This is called a "side pot." Set aside one pot equal to the bets made up to each remaining player each calling the "all-in." This first match up is what the original all-in player can win. The remaining players can bet against each other into a separate pot, saying "okay I'll raise you [maybe even putting you all in, unless you fold to limit your additioanl exposure]". At the showdown the main pot goes to the player with the best hand, and the side pot (or pots) go to best hand amongst the players who contributed to that, and one "or more" go home, if the wagers put you and/or others all-in as well. If you have a reasonably good hand, say AQ, and a short-stack in front of you has pushed all-in, probably as a semi-/pure-bluff, you could also raise all-in yourself as an isolation play, as few players will call a raise and a re-raise in front of them without a very good hand like QQ or better. Your move will help you isolate the short-stack who likely would make the all-in with a weaker hand than you have. If one player is already all-in and there is no money in the side pot yet, be inclined to just check unless your hand improves, because without any side pot money to play for, it doesn't make sense to try to bluff out others and increase the odds of winning for the all-in player. Checking the hand down maximizes the probability of eliminating the short-stack who is already all-in. This is known as cooperation play. " The order of betting is slightly different when playing with only one other player, "one-on-one". The player with the dealer button posts the small blind and his or her opponent is the big blind. Then they alternate, getting the button, so the new small blind (button) is the first to wager in the betting rounds for each new hand. Preflop hand requirement is a lot less stringent. Almost any two cards is worth playing, and an ace is a monster.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Research your industry. Know your idea inside and out. Know the law. Test run your idea.

Answer: Your idea's feasibility relies upon its uniqueness, newness, and relevance. Talk to industry experts you know in person or via professional networks, read professional journals, and catch up on the latest industry news. You should have answers for the following questions: Has someone already implemented my idea? If they weren't successful, is my version better? What are top industry competitors concerned about? How large are the profits and markets of this industry? How fast does this industry make decisions and change? What other industries or products are related to this industry? Do I like this industry? Is it worth my time? By fleshing out your idea, you make a more consistent and realistic product to sell. Create a list of bullet points of answers to the questions below. Use the answers as a foundation for selling your idea. The problem you're solving: What problem does your idea solve? How many people could benefit from your idea? What other solutions currently exist? The strengths and weaknesses of your idea: Why is your idea better? What do you need for your idea to be successful? Why might it fail? The opportunities and threats to your idea: How large is the market for your idea? How profitable is your idea? Who are your competitors? Your idea must be legal to sell for others to buy it. Contact intellectual property and patent lawyers to understand how to use the law to protect and sell your idea. Lawyers can help you get a nondisclosure agreement, which disallows individuals from sharing information you told them "patent pending" status, which allows you to retain your idea for a shorter period while you try to sell it. This step proves whether your product can be executed and has any value. Test runs also show you how to improve your idea as a profitable product. Depending on your idea, a test run could mean anything from iterating on a functional prototype to starting a small business in your hometown. Create a timeline for yourself. Do you want to accomplish these test runs in a few days? A few years? Use mistakes as opportunities to improve your idea. Does anything need to be fixed? If so, fix it now, or understand why you cannot fix it, before selling it. Record your mistakes and how you learned from them: an inventor's logbook proves the idea and each iteration are legally your own, as well as gives a history and context to your idea. Even if you think you have a good idea, try to see if you can make a better one. If not, then you can explain to others that you have the best idea possible.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Examine past relationship patterns. Spot aspects of yourself that you have neglected. Acknowledge and make peace with childhood trauma or neglect. See a therapist for codependency issues.

Answer:
Are you even aware of your innate need to fix or control others? Some people reading this may be in denial of a savior complex. By taking a closer look into your relationships with others, you can see a pattern of compulsive helping. Have you stayed in a relationship in which you were unhappy because you thought the other person needed you? Do you find yourself frequently worrying about others and their problems? Do you feel guilty when others help or give to you? Are you uncomfortable letting others experience negative emotions, so you quickly try to resolve the problem? Do you exit unhealthy relationships only to find yourself connecting with similar people as your past partners? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may want to visit a therapist. A therapist can help you determine if these are unhealthy behaviors for you. You may not realize that in your attempt to fix everyone around you, you have left yourself starving emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. Perform a self-assessment to look closer at areas of personal need. You may find that you have been projecting your own shortcomings onto those around you. Identify your personal values. What beliefs, ideas, and principles drive your decisions and goals? Have you been living according to your values? Examine your emotional intelligence. Are you able to recognize your emotions and effectively express them? Take a look at your self-worth. Is your self-esteem connected to how much others value or need you? The compulsive need to rescue or help others is often rooted in your childhood. Researchers believe those who suffer from a savior complex or white knight syndrome are trying to fix some negative sense of themselves that arose in early life. Low self-esteem, abuse, or neglect may have contributed to this complex. You may choose friends or partners who are going through distress similar to that which you experienced in childhood. Awareness is the first step in being able to repair a damaged sense of self. Take notice of the relational patterns you form and offer yourself compassion. You might even say aloud, "I am drawn to damaged or toxic people because I am trying to rescue the part of myself that was abused as a child." In addition to acknowledging this connection, it may help to see a professional counselor who can work with you to heal from past wounds. Deep down, people with savior complex or white knight syndrome have a problem with codependency. Codependency describes your reliance on others to feel emotional voids. In a sense, you neglect yourself in favor of doing for others because your self-worth comes from the desire to be needed. You can recover from codependency by working with a competent mental health therapist who has experience in this area. It may also help to participate in self-help support groups for people with codependency issues. Researching codependency may help you identify your own patterns and needs. It can help you find a solution that works for you.
