China Approves Poker Themed Bond Movie

Perhaps it is a sign of things to come in the entertainment world, or perhaps it is because poker has been recently welcomed into the land of China, but the notoriously tough Chinese censors have done something that runs counter to what they have done dozens of times before - they approved a James Bond film. The British Superspy has not always been pitted against the Chinese as enemies, but the authorities in the People’s Republic had nevertheless banned the previous movies. The latest Bond movie, Casino Royale, has been approved for showing in China.

Poker terminology:

  • POT ODDS - The amount of money in the pot divided by the amount of money you must bet in order to call. Often used to determine if a pot offers enough reward to play on the come.
  • PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
  • RUNNER-RUNNER - A hand made using both of the last two cards dealt.
  • ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
  • FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
  • BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
