Foxwoods Poker Classic Starts Tomorrow in New WPT-Branded Poker Room

One of the world’s largest poker rooms was opened to the poker-playing public last week, as Foxwoods completed the expansion of its existing facility to now house a total of 114 tables. The newly-minted World Poker Tour (WPT) poker room also received welcome technological upgrades, now featuring an automated seating system, tabletop touch-screen computers, and automatic card shufflers, which can serve more than 1,000 players simultaneously.

Poker slang:

EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
STAKE - The amount of a player's BUY-IN, or the amount of money they are willing to play with in a given session. Compare: BANKROLL.
ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
