Four cards short and not a dollar to my name
The offer came in about two weeks ago. There was a phone message from a lady in the media relations department at Harrah’s/Harveys.”How would you like to participate in our national Three Card Poker tournament?” Not knowing anything about Three Card Poker, I wasn’t that interested. I was certain I needed at least seven cards to make a decent five-card poker hand. Three cards didn’t seem like enough, but I did some research before deciding. I found out all betting is done before you see your cards.

Casino poker language:
- LIVE [CARD] - In Stud, a card probably not held by other players.
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
- SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
- LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
