WORLD POKER CASHES IN CHIPS
” have kissed and made up following a brief legal brawl. The cable network and the producers of its most popular (and poker-boom-spawning) show, “World Poker Tour” WPT Enterprises have settled a legal spat sparked last fall when ESPN showed an interest in picking up a new poker show from WPT.

Poker argot:
- SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
- NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
- ASSAULT RIFLE - In Omaha, hole cards that are A-K-4-7 of any suit(s).
