Morris Dalla Costa:
Theres a reason online poker has become so popular. Thats because its a heckuva a lot better than watching television. Okay, so playing online poker, especially for fun, probably isnt the best use of time. You could be reading or walking the dog or walking yourself.

Useful poker information:
- 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.
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
- WORLD SERIES OF POKER - A series of several different poker games with relatively large buy-ins, culminating in a $10,000 buy-in no-limit Hold'em tournament, the winner of which is crowned the World Poker Champion. Sponsored by Binion's Horseshoe Club in Las Vegas.
- SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
