C’mon, ladies, throw in your ante and play
A long, long time ago, in the seventh decade of the last century, when I first began playing casino poker, there were almost no women in the game. On many occasions, I was the lone female in the room. Even in home games, I was the only one without facial hair. But times have changed, and women are finally coming into their own in the poker world.Today it is estimated that 1 in 10 casino poker players is a woman. Poker Stars, a major online site, says that 1 in 3 of their players is female. Thank

- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
- RERAISE - To raise after an opponent has raised.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- THIRD STREET - In Stud, the third card dealt to each player.
- COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
- HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
