Poker League Launched
In San Jacinto, California, the Soboba Casino recently launched the Soboba Poker League. Nine teams of ten players each make up the league roster, and the game they play is the every popular no-limit Texas Hold’em, competing for cash, prizes, trophies and of course a gold bracelet. The winners will also get an entry in to the 2006 Legends of Poker Tournament and the opportunity to stick it to their buddies.
Monthly tournaments are held where the ten players who make it to the final table receive a number of points based on their rank…

Poker argot:
- SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- POCKET PAIR - Generic Hold'em term for 2 hole cards of the same rank.
- CARDS SPEAK - Winner(s) of the hand are determined by turning their cards face up, the best hand(s) wins (no declaration).
- POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
- BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
