Online Poker Likely Not Taking Root in North Dakota
North Dakota state representative Jim Kasper is an ardent proponent of bringing online poker to his state. Being illegal under U.S. law, all online poker rooms are currently based offshore, despite the fact that most of the poker player pool resides in North America. Kasper has been spearheading a movement to make online poker legally based in North Dakota, championing the idea that the tax revenues gained would benefit state programs immensely. Although Kasper had succeeded in getting a bill passed by the state house of representatives, it failed in the senate last year.

Poker lingo:
- 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.)
- BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
- OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- BUTTON CHARGE - A periodic fee paid by whoever is the button, perhaps every 20 minutes or 30 minutes. Constitutes part or all of the HOUSE CUT.
- COLD CALL - Calling both a bet and raise at the same time, as opposed to calling a bet then later calling a raise made after the call.
