Playing Omaha in Online Poker Room

After the over­whelm­ing craze of Texas Hol­dem now many poker play­ers are mov­ing to Omaha. Given that, most of the play­ers have con­cen­trated on Hol­dem alone all these years, the aver­age skill level of the play­ers of this game is much more than what is con­sid­ered as aver­age in the poker room. For that rea­son, get­ting an edge in this game is much harder than you can imag­ine and gives lit­tle score to progress in terms of skill and money both. There­fore, many play­ers have started hon­ing their skills of Texas Hol­dem to play Omaha in online poker room.  In case...

Chicago Bears offen­sive coor­di­na­tor Mike Martz declined com­ment Wednes­day on reports that he’s inter­ested in the vacant head coach­ing jobs at Ari­zona State and UCLA. “You know, any­thing about those kinds of things, I would never dis­cuss. I have a job, and this job is the only one I can dis­cuss. It would be very inap­pro­pri­ate for me to talk about any­thing like that,” said Martz, accord­ing to the Chicago Tribune. Martz is in the final year of his con­tract with the Bears. He turned down a one-year exten­sion dur­ing the off­sea­son that would have paid... 

Penn St. Hopes to Have New Coach by Bowl

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State could have a replace­ment for fired foot­ball coach Joe Paterno by the end of the year. School pres­i­dent Rod Erick­son said Wednes­day the school hopes to have a new coach in place by the Nit­tany Lions’ bowl game. No. 23 Penn State (9–3) should learn its post­sea­son des­ti­na­tion by this weekend.

Long­time defen­sive coor­di­na­tor Tom Bradley is run­ning the team on an interim basis. Erick­son... 

Fired on Monday, Boudreau Gets Right Back to Work

Bruce Boudreau’s “vaca­tion” didn’t last long — and just as he did four years ago, he’ll try to pump some life into a strug­gling team. When Boudreau first arrived in Wash­ing­ton in Novem­ber 2007, he was best known for his effu­sive per­son­al­ity and a small role in the hockey clas­sic “Slap Shot.” Just over four years later, he left Wash­ing­ton as one of the most suc­cess­ful coaches in League his­tory — but one who seem­ingly had lost the abil­ity to moti­vate his players. That didn’t deter the Ana­heim Ducks, who fired Randy Car­lyle and hired Boudreau... 

Thad Levine Declines Interview for Astros’ GM Opening

Thad Levine declines inter­view for Astros’ GM opening Drew Silva Nov 30, 2011, 10:18 PM EST 4 Comments The Astros’ hunt for a new gen­eral man­ager began Mon­day when freshly-approved owner Jim Crane fired Ed Wade. It’s early, but so far the hunt has not been fruit­ful. In fact, it’s even been a lit­tle embarrassing. Crane and Co. have reached out to Rays exec­u­tive vice pres­i­dent Andrew Fried­man, but most insid­ers believe that to be a long­shot. The ‘Stros have also made con­tact with Rangers assis­tant GM Thad Levine, but that’s not going to hap­pen...

It Felt Like a Win for Leafs

TORONTO — It has been a long time com­ing. Too long, really. A Wednes­day night hockey game in Toronto with this kind of buzz and tex­ture, with mean­ing and sig­nif­i­cance and more than that, life. When was the last time mid-week at the Air Canada Cen­tre felt like this? This loud. This dra­matic. This much like hockey that mat­ters. For three years, Ron Wil­son has com­plained about mid-week games at the ACC, about the dis­mal atmos­phere, about the play that reflected that very atmos­phere. And in turn, we com­plained along with him. But Wednes­day night, it wasn’t just...
