ALL IN New Book On World Series of Poker
In the last four or five years the popularity of poker has gone soaring through the roof, thanks in large part to two factors; the televised episodes of the World Poker Tour and the World Series of Poker, and the Cinderella stories of the last four winners of the WSOPs main event. For those interested in looking further back into the storied history of the World Series of Poker, they will find a pleasant surprise; the stories become more and more interesting the further back you go. Poker history buffs, fans of a good read and anyone interested in what makes the World Series of Poker tick should check out the new book All In- The (Almost) Entirely True Story of the World Series of Poker, by Jonathan Grotenstein and Storms Reback….

Useful poker information:
- LITTLE SLICK - In Hold'em, hole cards of A-2, suited or not.
- TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
- BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
- 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.
- OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight which can be completed by drawing a card at either end. E.g., 6-7-8-9 is an open-ended straight. Also: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT. Compare: INSIDE STRAIGHT.
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
