WPT Formula Repeats at Professional Poker Tour
For the past four seasons one thing has remained constant on the super popular World Poker Tour - besides the overly dramatic lighting and No Limit Texas Hold’em format - and that is the one-two punch of Mike Sexton and Vince Van Patten, the co-hosts of the show. With Mike’s pro poker experience and Vince’s pro acting experience they provide color and expert commentary to the WPT. Now that the WPT has sold the Travel Channel on their latest offering, the Professional Poker Tour, they are ready to repeat the formula for success.

Poker argot:
- ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
- 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.
- QUARTER - [1] Twenty-five dollars, often symbolized by a green casino chip. [2] To divide half a pot between two tying hands. In split pot games, a player who "ties" another player for their half of the pot is said to be "quartered". One might say "I didn't bet my A-2 because I figured I'd get quartered".
- TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- BUTTON - A distinctive token held by the player sitting in the theoretical dealer's position, when a house dealer is used. The button rotates around the table so that every player has an opportunity to be the last to act. Also, "THE BUTTON" can refer to the player who currently has the button. ("I was the button and called the blind".) Synonyms: BUCK, PUCK.
