Anna Benson: Poker Commentator?

Poker has plenty of colorful characters in the game. From the legendary Doyle ‘Texas Dolly’ Brunson to the latest Foxwoods’ World Poker Tour winner…

POT - The total amount of money bet so far in a hand.
TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
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.
CUT - To break the deck into 2 stacks of at least 5 cards each. Usually performed by the player to the dealer's right to insure that the the deck is not stacked.
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.
CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
