World Poker Tour Leaves its Mark on Foxwoods Poker Room
The world’s largest casino, Foxwoods, is riding the tidal wave of poker popularity. As announced in October of last year, Foxwoods is currently in the process of expanding its poker room by 50%, from 76 to 114 tables. When the new expanded poker room debuts in March, it will be among the largest card rooms in the world. Further bolstering the appeal of the new poker room, the Foxwoods poker area will now bear the World Poker Tour (WPT) brand name.

Useful poker terms:
- REBUY - [1] To purchase additional chips after an initial buy-in, usually after losing most or all of the previous buy-in. This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
- 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.
- STRING BET - An unethical and often illegal means of raising whereby a player puts a call-size stack of chips into the pot and, after observing the reactions of the players, then goes back to his stack and puts out more, thus raising.
- ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
- EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
- FOURTH STREET - In stud poker, the fourth card dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the fourth community card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is TURN (q.v.).
