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….

Poker jargon:

DOYLE BRUNSON - In Hold'em, 10-2 in the hole. So named because Doyle Brunson won two straight WSOPs (q.v.) in 1975 and 1976 with 10-2 on the last hand. (Suited (spades) in 1975, unsuited in 1976).
FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
WHEEL - A-2-3-4-5. Usually discussed in the context of lowball where it is the best possible hand. Can also refer to a 5-high straight in high games. Also: BICYCLE.
TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
