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 talk:

POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
FLOP GAME - Any of a number of poker games where a flop is dealt.
LITTLE SLICK - In Hold'em, hole cards of A-2, suited or not.
BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
