Papa to the Pros: Dr. Richard Lederer, Part Two
Richard Lederer is a man who has a ‘way with words.’ While he takes great pride in the poker accomplishments of Howard Lederer and Annie Duke, of course, he perhaps takes even greater pride in the way each of the three kids has distinguished themselves with words.
Howard has been dubbed the “Professor of Poker” because of his ability to describe an elegant game, eloquently. He has a series of DVD’s on poker, has joined up with Annie on another set of instructional DVD’s, runs a poker camp with Annie…

Poker argot:
- 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.)
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- UNDERDOG - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that does not figure to be the winner. Ant: FAVORITE.
- TURN - The fourth community card in Hold'em.
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
