Poker players go all-in for A.C. boot camp
Debby Cuneo, of Egg Harbor Township, bided her time Saturday. She folded hand after hand in a single-table poker tournament.Finally, she made her move. As the big blind in a No Limit Texas Hold ‘Em contest, forced to be in the pot, she went all-in with a pair of eights. Her entire stack of $1,350 in tournament chips went into the kitty. The cards were turned face up, and the dealer turned over five community cards. Cuneo’s low pair held up, and she doubled her stack.I had no choice, Cuneo said

Poker lexicon:
- TAP - In no-limit games, to wager all of one's money in one bet.
- KICKER TROUBLE - Not having as high a kicker as an opponent.
- LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
- RAIL - A barrier dividing the card playing area from a public area.
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- NO-LIMIT POKER - A game where there is no maximum bet; a player can wager any amount (perhaps above some minimum) up to whatever money is on the table in front of him.
