Is it what you expected or are you surprised by their play?<br /><br />I am very pleasantly surprised by the Bluejays so far. Every season I start out with hope and they never deliver; and then this season, with a depleted rotation, I had no expectations whatsoever and here we are in mid-May with the most wins of anyone in the AL! I fully expect the Red Sox to...

This may not have been updated to include the 2009 season, but to my knowledge nobody has surpassed 6 for the Rays this year.

I expect them to still have a healthy enough lead in the NL West when he returns in July.

My first game was just last year when the Yankess blew out the White Sox in a game that actually was a big let down for my first live experience. However the final game of my...

The last male winner was Mark Edmonson in 1976. Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:37:37 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4939531 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4916559 THERE ARE TWO PLAYERS LEFT IN A HAND IN TEXAS HOLD EM, THE FIRST PLAYER GOES ALL IN AND THE SECOND PLAYER EXPOSES HIS HAND BUT DO NOT SAY I FOLD. IS THIS PERSONS HAND DEAD OR CAN HE STILL CALL?<br /><br />Until a player either a) pushes his hand to the dealer, b) pushes chips over the betting line or c) verbally announces &quot;call&quot;, &quot;raise&quot; or &quot;fold&quot;, then his hand has not been acted on and he has all options still open to him. His hand is certainly not dead! If...

Likewise, it would be daft to make him travel on road games. Wed, 17 Dec 2008 13:46:38 -0800 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4916454 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4860730 Are live games in casinos or internet cash games generally more profitable?<br /><br />Generally the standard of play in live cash games is AWFUL, whereas the standard of online play is merely bad. Why this is, it&#039;s hard to say... maybe live players get sucked into the casino atmosphere of &quot;let&#039;s play for fun and gamble&quot; and throw all strategy out of the window....

Some places will give the absent player until the whole table has been dealt cards before declaring his...

How far do you take bets it if the flop gives you nothing?<br /><br />Always raise pre-flop, to the amount you usually raise to when raising pre-flop. As for after the flop, well that depends too much on board textures, opponent betting action and their styles to give an answer. On most boards however, your hand will still be ahead after the flop so lean towards...

However in the main, in cash games in casinos around the world, neither player turns their hand...

Why are they the worst?<br /><br />It has to be the Lions. They looked like they were making strides last year, but have really regressed badly. They can&#039;t stop teams, they can&#039;t run, they can&#039;t pass and don&#039;t even have a settled quarterback any more... they are pretty much a shambles in every department,...

You both have just over 14 Big Blinds und you hold a pair of eights. What do you do?<br /><br />How many players are left, how many get paid and what is the pay-out structure, roughly?

P3 puts P2 "all in" to form a side pot (Pot2). P1 has best hand & takes (Pot1). Does P2 & P3 split the side pot (Pot2)??? or does the better hand out of P2 & P3 take the side pot (Pot2)?<br /><br />The better hand out of players 2 and 3 wins the side pot.

I would hope they had a semi-sensible reason for downrating if they did so though, for their sakes, otherwise it might discourage other would-be answerers... but personally, I am past caring about whether I am given +ve points, -ve points or no points...

It even oversimplifies pre-flop play too much for my liking... things such as stack sizes and bet/raise...

I don&#039;t think they have any sort of uncanny sense for anything, we just like to anthropomorphize them to make our relationship with them feel a lot deeper than it actually is.

This is somewhat down to some issues I was having at the time I was hunting for work though, not strictly down to economics.

The area of a square is x^2, so if we set x^2 = 4x and divide both sides by x, we are left with x = 4. So a square with length of side 4 has the same perimeter as its area.

Would this be considered short, average or tall to a woman? Women: Give me your height and compair it to mine. Guys: Give me your opinions.<br /><br />5&#039;9 would be considered pretty average for an adult male... however most boys do the bulk of their growing from 13 through to 16 (some even more, up to the age of 18ish), so I would be surprised if your final height wasn&#039;t more than you are now, and you will probably reach a height that...

However he is certainly good enough to enjoy a long and sustained NFL career, mistakes aside, and to one day become a veteran quarterback in the league.

Now why would he change his opinion?<br /><br />Logically, those two statements are not contradictory, so he may not have changed his opinion - Joe Biden may believe that nobody is qualified to be President of the USA, but that of everybody Barack Obama is the least bad choice.

In this situation, the best hand out of A, B and C wins the main pot (so B&#039;s 3 of a kind wins), and the better hand between B and C wins the side pot (B&#039;s 3 of a kind wins again). A...

Ive got in many arguements and I think its minimum bets of the big blind right?<br /><br />The minimum opening raise pre-flop is the size of the big blind in addition to the size of the bet ie. at 50/100, the minimum opening raise is 100 to call plus a raise of 100 = 200. The minimum re-raise is then the size of the previous raise in addition to the size of the bet ie. in the above...

However the measurement of a &quot;yard&quot; is equal to 3 feet or 36 inches, which at 2.54cm to the inch works out at around 91.5 centimeters - therefore it is slightly less than a meter.

I feel that I have paid to see what they thought was worth betting on, they could be playing poor cards, bluffing or just poor players, that piece of information I think is very importan<br /><br />When a bet is called on the river, the original bettor must either show his hand or muck it unseen (he might wish to do this if he was bluffing and knows he cannot win the pot); if he mucks, the other player takes the pot without having to show his hand... if he shows, the other player can either...

Or. 2) Be able to know what the flop, turn, and river will be before the flop even comes out. (which would be more beneficial?)<br /><br />On the whole, I would rather see the other players&#039; hole cards. Both will obviously yield huge rewards, but the deciding factor for me is that if you can know the flop, turn and river in advance and end up playing a lot of stupid hands like 7-3o because you know they will hit the board, your...

I read that if Tampa Bay & Boston had tied that Tampa Bay would win the tie-breaker because they won the season series 10-8. What gives?<br /><br />The difference between the two situations is that in the case of a Rays/Red Sox tie at the top of the AL East, both teams would still qualify for the play-offs. So in this scenario, a play-off is seen as unnecessary, and head-to-head record over the season is used as a tie-breaker to settle the...

So we have your original shot as shot 1, the penalty shot as shot 2 and your re-taken tee shot as shot 3. So if your 2nd shot off the tee goes straight into the hole, you...

They haven&#039;t played great lately, but is the positive boost of a new manager going to outweigh the negative of the transition? I&#039;m not convinced.
