Big AL - NCAA

Las Vegas streets and supermarket parking lots unusually were deserted Friday night as Sin Cityites stayed home in droves or attended parties to root for their beloved Sweet 16 Rebels.

UNLV's (impossible) dream of an NCAA Tournament Elite Eight berth rudely was interrupted 76-72 by Oregon in the Midwest Regional semis at St. Louis -- an accurate forecast by Las Vegan/Los Angeleno and Professional Handicappers League member Big Al McMordie.

"I don't think so," former lawyer McMordie said Thursday when asked if he thought "our" Rebels could do it.

"That's why I gave my customers Oregon minus 2 1/2."

McMordie, who splits his time between the two Western American cities, and fellow PHL member/buddy Scott Spreizter saw one bubble burst Thursday night when their joint "big bucks" futures play on Texas A &
M at 50/1 went down the tubes.

"That's where are hearts (were)," he said.

Vegas bet shops predictably were crowded with locals, including rabid Rebel fans, who juggled their own hearts and heads; bookmakers, many of whom openly declared they were "homers" for the evening, did the same.

Sentiment always is nice consolation, but for gamblers a winning ticket and beating the house trumps it!

The Ducks, comfortably ahead during much of the second half, until the waning minutes, ended up with a cover (in many cases), thanks to a pair of last-second free throws.

The spread generally was Oregon minus 2 1/2 during the week, but the number crept to 3 by tipoff.

BoDog.com and CalNeva had it at 4.

Also winning Friday were No. 2 seed Georgetown in East Rutherford and top seeds North Carolina in East Rutherford and defending national champion Florida in St. Louis.

The 7 1/2 to 8-point favorite Hoyas squeaked past Vanderbilt 66-65, while the Tar Heels covered 8 to 9 with a 74-64 victory over USC and the Gators got a big scare from stubborn Butler, winning 65-57 but failing to cover 10.

Thus, it's still possible for all four No. 1 seeds to advance to the Final Four.

BoDog.com Friday night had top seed Kansas as a 2 1/2-point pick over No. 2 UCLA at San Jose in one Saturday affair, though 2s were out there.

Ditto No. 1-ranked and top seed Ohio State, which BoDog.com favored by 2 1/2 over Memphis in San Antonio.

Totals were 129 on the Jayhawks-Bruins and 135 on the Buckeyes-Tigers.

The March to Atlanta continues Sunday in St. Louis with Florida-Oregon and in East Rutherford with Georgetown-North Carolina.

Olympic opened the Tar Heels as 3 1/2-point choices and others followed.

McMordie says he has been "swimming" in hoops so much he's not yet up to speed on his baseball handicapping, but promises to hit the books, so to speak, when he returns from a European trip next week.

"Ask me about the Spurs," he added.

Boost Your Texas Hold'em Poker Profits With A Preflop Strategy

These texas holde'm poker tips will help use develop a
preflop strategy. This will keep you from playing too
many hands and getting sucked in to texas holdem pots
you just shouldn't be playing into. Should you be
playing that pair of 7's preflop? That all depends.

Let's check into some factors that will affect whether
you play those 7's in your texas hold em game.

Firt of all, you have to consider the number of players
in your game. The more players in the game, the tougher
the competition is going to be. There will be a better
chance of another player having a better preflo texas
holdem hand than you do. In addition, with more players
in your texas holdem game, there are more chances that
another player will hit a hand on the flop.

Are the players in your texas holdem poker game aggressive?
While aggressive hold em players can lose big, they can
also knock you out of the game pretty darn quick. You'll
want to play tighter with aggressive players in your game.
The last thing you want to do with aggressive players is
try to go over the top of them without a hand. You're
night of texas holdem poker will end quickly.

Your bankroll, the size of the blinds, and whether or not
you are playing limit or no limit texas holdem, will all
play a part as to how you play the preflop. This includes
the hands you'll bet into, and how much you'll bet. You'll
play the preflop differently with a bankroll of $2,000 at
a $1/$2 table than if you are shortstacked at a $10/$20
table. In the first example, you can play aggressively.

Another factor is your position at the poker table. Whether
you're in early position or late, especially preflop, will
greatly affect how much influence you can have on the pot,
as well as what hands you should play.

Your personality when it comes to playing texas holdem poker
will also influence how you play preflop? Do you play
agressively, betting often to see a lot of flops? Or do you
play tight and only play solid hands, which keeps you out of
a lot of hands? You have to find your playing style.

Finally, you'll want to have a general awareness of your
preflop odds in texas holdem poker. Here's a quick guide to
help you out.

A high pocket pair versus a smaller pocket pair (like QQ vs. 55)
will give you roughly an 80%/20% advantage preflop.

When you have a pocket pair and bet into two overcards (88 vs.
AK) is basically the toss of a coin, roughly a 55/45 advantage
to the pocket pair.

If you hold a pocket pair and bet into the same card with an
overcard (1010 vs. A10) you hold roughly a 65/35 edge.

Two over versus two undercards, such as KQ vs. J10, will give
you about a 60/35 advantage.

As you can see, texas holdem poker is most definitely a game
of skill and strategy. There is a lot that goes into whether
or not you even get into a hand preflop!

Texas Holdem Poker - How to Play Pocket Pairs in Tournaments

I consider middle pocket pairs to be pocket tens and pocket jacks. Middle pocket pairs can be tricky cards to play in tournaments, a lot of players consider pocket jacks to be a top pocket pair, this usually costs them lots of tournaments in the long run. Don�t make the mistake of thinking pocket tens or jacks are great all-in hands, they are good hands but need to be played well.

The difference from low pocket pairs and middle pocket pairs is small but makes a difference in how you might play them. With middle pocket pairs you have a better chance of getting a flop that contains all under cards. So having fewer opponents in the hand, especially blind hands, can be a great benefit. When playing these hands it�s a good idea to make a small raise, this builds the pot and gets some players out to limit the field. You don�t want someone to call you with 7,9 when you have pocket tens, only to hit a flop like 4,9,7. A flop like that would make you think have the best hand, but would most likely get crushed by two weak pair.

When there�s a small to medium raise in front of you it would be ok to call with a middle pocket pair. Just be careful if the flop comes all low cards, the raiser could have a higher pocket pair. If its just one on one I would make a medium bet or raise a medium bet. If the opponent make a re-raise muck you hand. Most likely he has a higher pocket pair. If he calls I would make another bet on the turn and check on the river. Be careful if over cards come, but don�t act too weak or your opponent may try to make a bluff.
