New Poker At Reading Sporting Club
A part of the Stanley Leisure chain of casinos is about to offer a new schedule of poker to those players in the North Hampshire, South Oxon and Berkshire regions. Local poker fans will no longer have to travel far, but can stop by the Reading Sporting Club in Reading, Berkshire, for poker tournaments running weeknights except on Tuesdays.
The poker events get underway Monday February 6th, and on top of the weekly events there will be a once a month event called a £100 Freezeout tournament. These will occur on the first Sunday of each month.
If £20 and Re-buys No Limit Texas Hold’em are your speed than you can find them Mondays and Wednesdays, and you have unlimited re-buys for the first 90 minutes…

Poker terminology:
- KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
- QUALIFIER - A minimum standard that a hand must meet in order to win. Usually applied to the lowball side of a high-low split pot.
- DEAD MONEY - Money contributed to the pot by players who have folded.
- BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
- LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
