Online Gaming And Poker Get Favorable Look

It seems whenever you read something in the mainstream media regarding poker and online gaming, it is always painted in an unfavorable light.

BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
