Celebrity Poker Showdown Hits The Big Easy

There are plenty of changes in the works for Bravo network’s favorite poker son, Celebrity Poker Showdown. The co-host and resident giant Phil Gordon recently announced he would no longer be associated with the show, now that his contract has come to an end, leaving Celebrity Poker Showdown without a poker expert to give advice and commentary to the stars at the table. The show will have its very own Phil, however, with nine time World Series of Poker bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth taking over the role.

In addition to the switch hitter, the show will now be donating the charity money it is known for to outfits working with the victims of Hurricane Katrina…

Poker lingo:

BET FOR VALUE - Betting a hand that, in the long run, is expected to win more than it loses. Antonym: BLUFF.
LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
S&M - Sklansky & Malmuth. Generally refers to the ideas and algorithms published by these two authors. When used in a 7-card stud context, often refers to "7 Card Stud For Advanced Players", and when used in a Hold'em context, often refers to "Texas Hold'em For Advanced Players".
LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
