Press Release: World Poker Congress Brings Poker Synergy to Online and Land-Based Poker Operators

LAS VEGAS, April 27 — The poker boom of the past several years is often attributed to two elements: the televising of live poker events, such as …

FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
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".
