ST JULIANS, MALTA, August 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) We probably all know the situation: You hold the aces, the flop is looking well, you bet and get a few calls. The turn does not change anything. You go all-in and get a call again. Showdown. You have a great chance of winning. The river changes everything, you lose your whole bankroll due to a bad beat.
The Bad Beat Guard is a tool to protect players from a bad beat, who are in an all-in situation. If you get a bad beat in an all-in situation, you get back the money you invested. The winner of the hand only gets the remainder of the pot.
On the various tables the Bad Beat Guard is set at a certain percentage, at least 70%, prior to starting the table. The calculation of win probability includes the probability of winning by a tie. Therefore, a player with 64.74% probability to win outright and 5.65% probability to win by tie, will show a win probably of 70.39%.
If you take a qualifying bad beat in a main or side pot, you'll be refunded the entire wager you committed to that pot. The calculation of win probability includes the whole cards of players who contributed to the contested pot and still remain at the showdown, as well as the community cards shown at the point of the hand when the relevant all-in wager was made for that pot.
Another new offer on herculespoker.com is the so-called Cap Tables. Cap tables allow you to enjoy No-Limit and Pot-Limit games without the risk of losing all your bankroll in one hand. Hands on Cap Tables are played exactly as in regular No-Limit and Pot-Limit games. Here is the catch: once the betting cap is reached, all active players in the hand will be considered all-in only with the ability to match the bet that reached the cap.
For example, if you're in a $60 Cap game with $400 in bankroll, you may only wager up to $60 of your stack on a single hand, including pre-flop and post-flop plays. A great way to protect your bankroll from being lost in only one hand.
The Bad Beat Guard and Cap Tables are two ways of minimizing the risk of losing too much.

Hedge funds sold stocks quickly while mutual fund investors suffered larger losses during crisis
2011-08-27
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study of stock trading during the financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 found that hedge funds sold their stocks much more aggressively than mutual funds at the first signs of poor performance.
These selloffs occurred in response to falling stock values, the study found. Hedge fund investors withdrew almost three times as much of the money they invested as compared to mutual fund investors.
As a result, the total returns of mutual funds were much worse during the crisis than were those of hedge funds.
That means ordinary investors – who are more ...

Irrigation's impacts on global carbon uptake
2011-08-27
MADISON - Globally, irrigation increases agricultural productivity by an amount roughly equivalent to the entire agricultural output of the U.S., according to a new University of Wisconsin-Madison study.
That adds up to a sizeable impact on carbon uptake from the atmosphere. It also means that water shortages - already forecasted to be a big problem as the world warms - could contribute to yet more warming through a positive feedback loop.
The new research quantified irrigation's contribution to global agricultural productivity for the years 1998-2002, estimating the ...

2011-08-27
David Weinstein has spent his career dealing with healthcare issues. He's owned his own medical billing company, and he began a healthcare cooperative in 1999, well before anyone else had thought of the idea. He's been watching the healthcare reform debate in government quite closely, and he has some definite opinions about issues that could reform medical billing. David Weinstein also thinks some ideas are just bad. In his opinion, tort reform is a bad idea.

Temporary ER staff poses increased safety risk to patients
2011-08-27
Temporary staff members working in a hospital's fast-paced emergency department are twice as likely as permanent employees to be involved in medication errors that harm patients, new Johns Hopkins research suggests.
Results of the research raise serious issues related to temporary nursing staff in particular because they already are a substantial and growing part of the health care workforce owing to the national nursing shortage. These fill-ins are used to plug holes in both short-term and long-term work schedules, and are seen as a cheaper alternative to permanent hires. ...
Uninsured trauma patients are more likely to use the ED for follow-up care
2011-08-27
Providing access to an outpatient clinic isn't enough to keep some trauma patients who have been discharged from the hospital from returning to the emergency department (ED) for follow-up care, even for such minor needs as pain medication refills and dressing changes, according to new Johns Hopkins research.
Reporting in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, the researchers say that patients with Medicaid, Medicare and those with no insurance were 60 percent more likely to seek such care in the ED. Those living in poor neighborhoods were 70 percent more likely than patients ...

What determines a company's performance? The shape of the CEO's face!
2011-08-27
Believe it or not, one thing that predicts how well a CEO's company performs is the width of his face. CEOs with wider faces, like Herb Kelleher, the former CEO of Southwest Airlines, have better-performing companies than CEOs like Dick Fuld, the long-faced final CEO of Lehman Brothers. That's the conclusion of a new study which will be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
Elaine M. Wong at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and her colleagues study how top management teams work. But they have ...
Single vaccines to protect against both rabies and Ebola
2011-08-27
PHILADELPHIA—Researchers from Thomas Jefferson University, among other institutions, including the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have developed single vaccines to protect against both rabies and the Ebola virus.
Successfully tested in mice, these bivalent vaccines have several advantages over other Ebola candidates that could help speed up development for use in humans and primates. It's built on the same platform as the already approved and financially viable rabies vaccine, and it protects at-risk populations against two viruses, not just one, ...
