The Summer Season of The Online Poker League Starts this Weekend

Spalding, Lincolnshire (PRWEB) June 30, 2006 — The third season of The Online Poker League opens this weekend with fixtures at Poker.

SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
SCOOP - To take all of a pot that is normally split, either by winning both halves outright or winning one half when no players qualify for the other half.
LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
UNDER THE GUN - The position that has to act first in a round of betting.
STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
