Dublin Hosts Showdown Poker Tour

After a successful and eventful first showing in London, at the Gushot Poker Club, the new Showdown Poker Tour is crossing the water and landing in Dublin, Ireland. Being held at the Fitzwilliam Card Club, which promotes itself as Dublin’s premier card club, the Showdown Poker Tour will run from May 22 to May 28 with 11 different events ranging from a €40 No Limit Holdem plus rebuys to a €5,000 Main Event.

The prior showing in London was won by Swedish player Mats Gavatin, who beat out Hendon Mob member Barny Boatman in the €5,000 event. Dublin poker players can expect to run in to Barney Boatman along with the other three members of the Hendon mob, Joe Beevers, Ross Boatman, and Ram Vaswani….

Poker argot:

DEALER'S CHOICE - In home games, a rule that permits the dealer to name which poker game to be played that hand. Often limited to selecting from a list provided.
POT - The total amount of money bet so far in a hand.
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.)
TOKE - Gambling term for "tip", as in "Toke the cocktail waitress". Comes from the term "Token of appreciation".
SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
