Poker Takes Its Toll In Atlantic City

Ken Adams checks in from a World Series of Poker event in Atlantic City. He says the strategy is right, but the cards aren’t treating him right.

CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
BET FOR VALUE - Betting a hand that, in the long run, is expected to win more than it loses. Antonym: BLUFF.
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.
DRAW OUT - To catch a card that improves your situation from a losing hand to a winning hand, especially when you beat someone holding a hand that usually figures to win.
MISDEAL - A hand dealt incorrectly that must be re-dealt.
