Legends of Poker: Barry Greenstein

“I knew I was going to have to quit Symantec and go back to playing poker to support my family. I finally stopped working at Symantec in 1990 (after hold’em had been legal in California for a few years and the games had at first been exceptional), but the no-limit games eventually dried up, and I had to do something I never thought I’d do - play limit hold’em.”

Poker slang:

IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
POT ODDS - The amount of money in the pot divided by the amount of money you must bet in order to call. Often used to determine if a pot offers enough reward to play on the come.
MAIN POT - The main pot, as related to one or more side pots, when there are one or more all-in player(s). The main pot is the one in which all active players participate.
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.
WHITE BLACKBIRD - A hand so astonishingly rare as to be unworthy of the opponents' consideration, e.g., being dealt a pat royal flush in 5-card draw.
FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
