Learning to Play Omaha Poker

By Robert Bell

In this article I will give you the basic to playing Omaha Poker, If you are already established with Texas Hold'em you should already understand the basics of Omaha. However beware if you are a Hold'em player as there are some pitfalls which are pointed out towards the end of the article.

How to Play Omaha.
Omaha is played in pretty much they same way as hold'em but with several differences, the main and most obvious difference being that the player is dealt 4 hole cards with which to make the best hand rather than 2 in poker. You can use any of your 2 hole cards and any 3 of the boards 5 cards to make the best hand. Hands are ranked in the same way as Hold'em (Royal Flush being best down to High Card being worse)

Omaha is not Hold'em
This is the most important thing to remember when converting from Hold'em. Being dealt 4 cards doesn't give you an 2 extra hands it gives you 6. Omaha is much more variant and bad beats can be a very common occurrence, Just because you are ahead on the flop and you know it, there will still be many outs for your opponents. Also being Dealt AAKK doesn't necessarily mean you are powering ahead of your opponents preflop. Imagine you have Ac Ad Ks Kd and you hit the flop of 3c 4d 7c you may think you have the nuts, but really there are so many potential hands out their such as flush and straight draws, 3oak and 2 pair even hitting an A on the river will only give you 30ak against so many more powerful hands. Also an important thing to remember is if a pair appear on the board their is a very high chance of someone hitting a fullhouse or 4oak. Straight flushes are also a very high possibility in Omaha games.
Also you must use at least 2 of your hole cards, for example the board see's 4 clubs come up and you have the Ac and the rest of your cards hold no value. You do not hit a flush at all. This can lead to many curious hands, another example being Q K Q K 10 are showing on the board and you have A J, you hit a straight, if another player has A K they' don't hit a full house just three of a kind (KKK) with Ace Kicker. This can be a strange rule to get used to especially if you come from a Hold'em background where you don't need to play any of your cards.

Other Versions of Omaha
Hi/Lo - Two separate pots are available to win . The lo pot is where you have the five lowest cards made from 2 of your cards and 3 on the board (the best hand being A2345) flushes, straights, pairs etc don't count for the lo pot. Assuming the other player can beat the lo pot winner with his 5 best cards he will win the high pot.

Start out at the small tables when playing omaha $0.02/$0.05 are best if your just starting out. Play around with Pot limit and fixed Limit (quite rare to fine players here) tables, as well as Hi/Lo tables. New players may not be as comfortable playing Hi/Lo tables straight away (so this might be a good way to exploit them!)

Sports And Recreation In Los Angeles, CA

By Matthew Paolini

The sports and recreation marketplace found in Los Angeles, CA boasts of many sports teams. Currently the leagues represented include the National Basketball Association, with the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers; the Women's National Basketball Association, with the Los Angeles Sparks; and the Major League Soccer, with the Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA.

MLB has the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, with the NHL promoting the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks. The American Football League has the Los Angeles Avengers and MLL has the Los Angeles Riptide. In the growing Hispanic community, there is great fan interest in Mexican soccer teams. Of these, the most widely admired are 'Chivas' and 'America,' who have developed a bitter team rivalry.

In the national collegiate ranks, the two most widely admired sports teams in Los Angeles are the USC Trojans and the UCLA Bruins, of which both have successful football programs.

The Staples Center hosts the Clippers, Lakers, Sparks and the Avengers in their home contests. The Home Depot Center is the venue where the Galaxy, Chivas USA and the Riptide play. The Dodgers host their games at Dodger Stadium, while the Angels of Anaheim play at Angel Stadium of Anaheim. Lastly, the Anaheim Ducks host games at the Honda Center, previously known as the Arrowhead Pond Of Anaheim.

The NFL at one time had a strong presence with both the Rams and Raiders LA. The American Football League formerly had a presence with the San Diego Chargers, now part of the National Football League. Los Angeles is currently seeking a new stadium to entice professional football to come back.

In other leagues, the Los Angeles Wolves were once a part of the United Soccer Association, which started its first season in 1967. The Los Angeles Toros of the National Professional Soccer League also began in 1967. Both leagues merged to form the NSL, after which the Wolves remained in Los Angeles and in 1968 the Toros relocated to became the San Diego Toros in 1968. However, when the first season ended, both teams folded. Later, the NASL returned a team to LA by starting the Los Angeles Aztecs in 1974. Unfortunately, the Aztecs folded in 1981.

Want A Wii Under Your Tree? Better Buy Nintendo Wii Online

By Candy Steele

Nintendo as well as most game manufacturers stockpile their consoles during the summer months
to prepare for the holiday seasons. Even though nintendo has been making 1.8 million units
per month, they get snatched up as soon as they hit the shelves at local retailers. It seems
to be a must to buy nintendo wii online if you want to snag one this year.

Nintendo can't really be blamed for the shortages because there is no way they could have
anticipated such high demand for nintendo wii consoles. It seems any nintendo product is the
must have for this year. Nintendo ds and wii reach record sales during thanksgiving week.
They sold 653 thousand nintendo ds units and 350 nintendo wii home systems. Based on these
figures and the current demand that sales could easily reach 1.5 million units sold through
the end of December.

The nintendo ds and nintendo wii systems offer fun for the entire family. This is a way to
maximize your spending for the holiday season by choosing something for the entire family.
It has been frustrating for so many shoppers trying to find a nintendo wii. Most shopper are
having to buy nintendo wii online in places like ebay and amazon where there seems to be an
endless supply unlike with the local retail stores.

Maybe nintendo's production was too conservative and these shortages are forcing customers
to buy somehting else this year. Nintendo executives don't seem to be too concerned and believe
customers will hold out for their unique nintendo wii system. It seems like everyone wants a wii.
If you want one this year, odds are that you had better consider buying nintendo wii online.

It's hard to believe that after only 12 months on the market there have been 5 million nintendo
wii units sold. This has made wii the fastest selling video game console. Quite an achievement.
Walmart has even resorted to selling wii gift cards in the amount of the retail price of a
nintendo wii console. Personally I think kids would be pretty disappointed to get a gift card
instead of a nintendo wii console. Sure they can buy a console later, but that is just no fun.

So you will have to buy nintendo wii online or camp out at your local retail store and hope you
can snag a wii. That seems to be the only way to have a wii under your tree this year. Online
shopping is very safe and secure. Now keep in mind due to demand prices have increased a bit,
but some of the auctions are still at the suggested retail price. Stand in line, get a wii
gift card or buy nintendo wi online? I think I would have to go with the later.

Funding Your Power Ball Jackpot Quest

By John Reed

Alright, there are Power Ball players and then there are POWER BALL PLAYERS. Some Power Ball players spend a considerable amount of money making their picks. The hope is if you make more picks, you have a better chance at winning the big pay off.

Well, that is easier to say than it is to ignore the financial drain that happens as a result. Since, Power Ball is a numbers game players have developed their own strategies designed to give themselves the edge. While many of these strategies appear to have little more than sentimental value, others have a mathematical premise that can actually help in achieving the ultimate goal.

I think we can all agree that using your pets birthday or numbers that you heard on a TV show is a relatively nonscientific strategy that has the potential to waste a lot of time. However, increasing the number of picks that you make during a given period and randomizing the numbers picked can increase your chances of winning.

Now, I understand that playing more times equates to spending more money and I know that to many players of Power Ball, that is a problem. But actually that problem has been solved.

Websites like TypoBounty.com allows Power Ball players to offset their monetary losses by getting extra money to pay for their Power Ball tickets.

By pointing out errors that they see online such as misspelled words, missing graphics, punctuation errors etc., Power Ball players can earn over $2.00 per valid report. With each Power Ball ticket costing $1.00, users are able to easily replace the money that they expend on Power Ball play.

Since using online game sites like TypoBounty dot com is free, Power Ball players can just set up a free hunter account and start alleviating the Power Ball drain on their budgets while still having fun with their game of choice.

I play Power Ball a lot and it really helps to find a way to get money back as I play for the big pot, says Ronald Austin. You never know, I may win the Power Ball tomorrow, but if I dont I feel that I am not really loosing anything either.

Some Power Ball players seek to increase the amount of money they are able to use for playing Power Ball without impacting their personal finances. Others use it simply to replace what they already spend. Affecting the power ball results is the goal.

Either way, using such free resources to help pay for Power Ball tickets and picking more Power Ball numbers can help Power Ball players go after what they want the most. That would be the Big Jackpot.

Video Games are Man's Greatest Invention

By Matthew Anton

Throughout time man has invented, innovated, and dreamt big to lead us to our present day world. Is the wheel the greatest invention, or the cell phone, or perhaps modern medicine? No. Video Games are man’s greatest invention…easily.

Why can something so trivial be as of importance and even greater than the wheel or even the smallpox vaccine? The answer is a simple one but you must open your mind; video games are responsible for creating more imaginative minds than any wheel or cell phone have ever created. Modern technologies have allowed dreamers to create their own 3d worlds, universes if you will, that are beginning to rival the size of our own Planet. If God is thought to have the biggest imagination of all, clearly he gave us the ability to think big, but we lacked the tools until recently.

Early man showed signs of artistic thought and thinking outside the box with pictures telling great stories on the sides of ancient cave walls; would we have known about their artistic side if the cave or material they wrote with didn’t exist? Of course not, just like we wouldn’t know Mozart was a great piano player, or Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player ever if the piano or basketball were not created. It is the inventions that allow people the most freedom to express themselves; who they are, what they think, and what they dream about. Never in the history of man has a tool allowed one to express themselves so emphatically other than Video games.

In a world where we are limited to 100 years or less, video games allow people to explore vast universes, join hunting parties, make friendships, establish enemies, engage in combat, lose battles, gain great victories, and still live to fight another day. It is the greatest teacher of all that encourages trial and error, and thinking outside the box. Has a wheel ever inspired a kid to dream of another universe, or find out if he/she is a relentless explorer, an achiever, a socialite, or perhaps even a great guild leader?

It is easy to look at a game and judge it at face value, as just a fun toy to play with, while looking at the wheel as the greatest architectural advancement in the modern world. I simply ask what’s more important: To understand architecture and the intricacies of the wheel and shapes or to be able to question the very thing discovered and simulate your own virtual empire with all different shapes and sizes.

Imagine if our ancestors had the ability to play Eve Online two-thousand years ago. They would be so excited about space travel and the virtual space they played in, they would probably have dreamt up a better space shuttle than we currently use. Only a handful of people dream about actually entering space, and this is why Nasa isn’t advancing as fast as it could. What if every child in America was exposed to mock simulations of space travel, space exploration, in a 3d environment that would rival real life? The outcome would be a society hell-bent on traveling outside our solar system. Those children would grow into adults, adult explorers, leading the way to exploration all because of a spark, a seed, of imagination implanted in their psyche since they discovered their virtual space.

Is it any wonder why our society craves violence and misery as we are exposed to it constantly as children? We seek out in our adult life what we know to be true as children. Thankfully video games are here to save our minds from “reality” and allow us once again to think of possibilities and a world where boundaries become laughable and society becomes free willed.

So log onto World Of Warcraft, City of Heroes, Ultima Online, Shadowbane, DAoC, Tabula Rasa, or perhaps Eve Online, without feeling guilty for expressing your inner self. The wheel’s time to shine has come and passed…it is now merely a tool under my chair to wheel me closer to my magical box that lets me think ever so freely.

The First Free Online Games Cave

By I C

In order to find the most fun and addictive flash games, there are many places to browse. The most useful sites have flash games, categorize them, organize them, and allow each user to casts his vote which will later on be used to calculate the game's popularity and rating. You can then see the most popular games, sorted by their ratings, the number of play, or the style of the game. This rating system really helps to narrow down the type of game you are looking for or you like to play. If you are like most players then some days you will like to play something fast like a war or action game other days you might be feeling like a hot shot and decide to take on Poker games. Literally, all styles of games exist, it's just a matter of taking your time and finding them.

One of the most popular games in the action section is called "Alien Galaxion X" as you can imagine this game is aimed at those who like fast paced space wars, specially to those who love films and games such as Star Wars. Alien Galaxion X is about the battle between the human race and aliens from the far regions of the universe. Human space ships are white while alien space ships have a cool green color; so many will prefer to play as an alien because the weapons are a lot better (because of how rare they are) but if you feel the need to serve under your human flag then you can choose among four different space battle ships to take on the aliens.

Human ships have different weapons and items you can use to enhance your battle abilities, there are shields, turbo thrusters, invisibility tools, space bombs, immobilizer, which are item you are sure to use but beware the items can only be used once so when they are destroyed you won't be able to rely on them anymore; on the other hand, weapons are unlimited and are not destroyed until your battleship goes down, among those weapons we have: the red laser, plasma laser, energy ball, fusion missiles, slicer, spike balls, etc. The best ones the the last three because of they pack a punch when it comes to destroying the enemy's ship.

As mentioned previously you can also play as an alien and can choose among four different ships, one of the best looking one is the "crusador" which has an especial weapon that is activated when you press the "down" arrow of your keyboard, once you fire it will cut through anything in its path, the only downside is that is not a fast weapon and it does take some time to charge and shoot. The upgrades available for each ship are similar to those weapons used in human ships but they are not the same so take your time to learn which ones are the best.

Newbies will be glad there is a training mode which can be used to learn how to play and use each of the weapons described before taking on an actual battle. During a battle there will be many ships coming at once, and all firing at you so make sure you master how to maneuver your ship before taking on an actual game, enjoy!

Free Games Are Really Free

By I C

People's opinions of computer games and video games differ greatly according to age and demographics. People of an advanced age completely dismiss games as a way of having fun but the great majority actually enjoys playing their favorite games, whether they are space invaders, pacman, chess and even poker, games are part of modern culture, specially in big cities.. And there is no reason why things should be different. Playing a game is relaxing, fun, challenging, educational and can help you fight the effects of stress. Of course, not all computer or video games are suitable for all ages, but since there is not shortage of online pc games, it is virtually impossible for someone not to find a game which fits their tastes.

As you may have figured by browsing game sites, free games are really free, you can play from wherever you may be, provided you have access to a computer and an Internet connection. You can play games at home, at the office, or even on holiday; but with today's technology breakthroughs we can even access these applications from our cell phones, which makes things even better (free fun on the go).

Today's featured macromedia game is called "Boxhead a Halloween Special". I bet you can't guess what the game is about just by reading it's title!, it is actually about zombies which have become quite popular since Hollywood decided to release so many zomby-packed movies such as "Shawn of the Dead", "28 Days later", "Resident Evil", etc so as funny as it may sound, zombies have also become part of our modern gaming culture. People who play shooting games particularly enjoy blasting sub-human un-dead creatures which is exactly why "Half Life" and similar games have become so popular.

Anyhow, your goal is to transfer as many civilians from one location which is crawling with zombies to a safe place; you have to save 5 at a time and every time you successfully complete this task you advance to a higher level where the main character receives extra time, different weapons and of course more zombies after his tail. The first few rounds are quite easy but the fourth, fifth and higher levels tend to be quite difficult since you get attacked from almost all directions and the zombies won't go down as easily as expected. What makes it even harder is the fact that you are trying to protect 5 individuals who keep wondering around and are open to zombie attacks. If this kind of game suits your tastes you are sure to have good time killing zombies left and right!

Nintendo Gamecube and Kid Friendly Games

By Candy Steele

Nintendo gamecube is still my favorite game system for kid friendly games.
My son has been playing vidoe games since he was two and started out with
a playstation. Of course they stopped making games for playstation and I decided
to purchase a nintendo gamecube instead of moving up to playstation 2 or xbox.
Most of the games being released for the newer consoles were so violent.

I was still able to get playstation games at a local used video game store. He
still has his favorite games on playstation. One of the most fun games is
spyro the dragon. He is a cute little purple dragon and the games in this fantasy
world are even favorites for me and my spouse. We continued the saga of spyro
the dragon with nintendo gamecube games. It is a must have game for anyone.

It seems they are not releasing new games to the gamecube platform but there are
still plenty of games available online for the nintendo gamecube. An alternative
that I have discovered is a nintendo accessory called the gameboy player. It is a
device that attaches to the bottom of your gamecube and your gameboy games will
play on your tv.

The incredible thing about this gameboy player accessory is that you now have
access to more than 1,200 gameboy, gameboy advance and gameboy color games.
So now you have an endless supply of kid friendly games for your gamecube.
It doesn't matter if they no longer release games for the gamecube because
your accessory gives you access to many new games. You can still get plenty
of use from your gamecube console with the addition of the gameboy player.

The nintendo gamecube is still a great option for those young gamers and is
more affordable than the newer gaming systems. I've seen the gamecube consoles
for less than $50 and with the addition of the gameboy player accessory you
won't run out of games any time soon. If you are looking for kid friendly games
then consider the gamecube console. My son is very happy with his and for now
this will be his primary gaming system and I am adding the gameboy accessory.
I look forward to many more hours of fun with our gamecube.

Addicting Games at TheGameCell

By I C

Choosing certain PC games depends completely in one's personal choice and entertainment tastes in a world where software, media and social application are easily accessible. Computer games can be divided into two major groups, those which are freely available on the web through free flash/java sites and those which are mean to be purchased and based on licenses. Computer games that fall under PC games include software, downloadable pc games, and the online games. Games that are classified under the license game are the games are free and they can be downloaded from a particular site for free, other versions are licensed and are mainly shareware which means that they have limitations in the features and time allowed.

Obviously the most popular kind of games are the ones which are absolutely free and don't require the user to download a thing to their computers in order to enjoy hours of entertainment. Today we will focus on yet another one of these great online games based in flash technologies which allows users to play the game without installing additional plug-ins.

Online games are not designed to be plain and single level applications, as we are about to see these games have been designed to provide hours of entertainment just like the games which were marketed and sold during the 90's. The concept of these games has expanded to the web where they can be accessed. A good example of a featured game is called "The Jewel Thief", this is a game where the player obviously has to steal a big jewel but in order to do so he has to avoid several cameras and lasers which guard every door and passage way throughout these big complex. A good feature this game has is that it lets the gamer know exactly where they are and where they have to go through a handy map.

The first choice people tend to make when playing this game is to avoid the lasers and surveillance cameras and go straight to the room with the big prize, the jewel; but don't be fooled, in order to successfully get to it you need special color coded keys which will give you access to locked rooms. This game is mainly played with the arrow keys of your keyboard so you don't have to worry about being accurate with the mouse. All in all, this game has the potential to keep you entertained for a good couple of hours.

Play Online Addicting Games at Pirates Arcade

By I C

Due to the extreme popularity of free online games people of all age groups have become addicted to them because they offer variety, which can't be matched by expensive gaming consoles, this addiction goes well beyond teenage as we see young adults addicted to video games. The wide variety of free online flash and shockwave games available on net may be broadly classified into action and adventure games, card games, board games, strategy, funny, educational, simulation, etc. All types of online flash games and shockwave games have their own part of customers or niche, but the most popular and most played are the board games, which are basically online interpretations of certain conventional board games that include Chess, Monopoly, Dominoes and Literati as well as card games: poker, etc.

Free online games are thought out to be plain and simple games which an be finished in less than a few minutes before moving on to the next one; this is actually not true as we can see featured games which can take hours and even days to complete due to their level of difficulty, a good example is the "Prince of Persia" online game.

Prince of Persia has graphics which are similar to Super Mario for super Nintendo consoles which is very good considering how fast it loads. Just like Super Mario there are several traps along the path of the prince and he must explore an entire underground world before he accomplishes all of his tasks. The prince starts without a single weapon so the most important factor for players is to learn how to maneuver on this world because there are hidden spikes, guillotines, assassins, fake floors and metal doors which prevent you from reaching the end of the game.

Most games which are similar to Prince of Persia start at one point and it's pretty obvious the path we should take if we want to get to the end of it but with Prince of Persia you start at point A facing to the left side of the screen but you can actually go backwards and start playing to the right which leads the main character to secret passages where he must successfully overcome many deadly obstacles, since there are so many levels this game is guaranteed to keep you busy for at least 4 hours, and that's assuming you are really good at this kind of games. A good tip is to learn how to control the price before venturing across this underground maze otherwise you might end up frustrated, so learn how to play it and enjoy your spare time.

Free Online Games at ActiveGamez

By I C

There currently are few real web sites which have been built with the purpose of offering a wide selection of online games in several formats for PC gamers, some of those formats are flash and java. The beauty of free online games is that any gamer can have instant access to giant databases of interactive games which can be played during their leisure time. The categories vary from site to site, we can see that some of these games are educational or brainteasers, others are for pure fun and obviously these games are definitely strong enough to addict the players who often find themselves hooked up for hours. Other free online game categories are adventure games and role-playing games.

Role Playing Games are multiplayer applications that appeals the appetite of many online players because it allows the gamer to impersonate a desired character while visitors can also pick an online partner to this game enhancing the very social nature of gaming thus making the gaming environment more hot and interesting; this is a sure hit among teens and young adults. New gamers will be delighted to know that some of these sites even have a rating system which can be quite useful if you don't want to waste precious gaming hours trying to find something fun and interesting; another great feature is the ability to post comments about the game, so the feedback loop is quite robust.

For those who like shooting at stuff, one of the currently featured games (flash version) is called "Final Fortress", in this game you are given a missile launcher which should be used to destroy incoming tanks and small enemies. The game gives you the option of buying additional equipment such as: A Grenade Launcher ($350), Bio Canon ($400), Heavy Mines ($40 each), energy plant ($250) and additional normal mines for $20 each. Using all of these goodies you can improve you accuracy and increase your scores. Besides being a flash game, which are normally thought of as single level games, Final Fortress is actually a multi-level game so if you think the first round was easy then wait to see what it's in store for you.

Not only war and shooting games cover the full range and categories, there are others aimed to improve your memory skills. For some people this results rather hard because the sequences are shown fast but this is exactly the purpose of the game, the more you remember the better your score becomes and you get the added benefit of improving your short term memory skills.
