Sportsbook.com Scores a Slam Dunk with NBRPA Poker Tournament

Two of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players, Dr. J (Julius Erving) and Moses Malone, were on hand in Trelawney, Jamaica, to take part in a poker tournament at the Legends of Basketball meetings. The National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA), which consists of more than 1,000 retired players from the NBA, ABA, and the Harlem Globetrotters, added some extra spice to this year’s round of Legends meetings with a weekend-ending poker tournament that was sponsored by Sportsbook.com.

Poker jargon:

MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
DRAWING DEAD - A draw in which it is impossible to obtain a winning hand for any of a variety of reasons: an opponent's hand is better than whatever you are drawing to, the card(s) that make your hand are out of play, or (in Hold'em) give an opponent a stronger hand even if it makes yours. Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
SPREAD LIMIT - A variation on fixed limit wherein the minimum and maximum bets are different. A 1-4-8 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds and 1-8 in the last round. A 1-4-8-16 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds, 1 to 8 in the next-to-last round, and 1 to 16 in the last round.
RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
