Online Poker Sites Swap Places
When it comes to measuring up which online poker site has the most muscle, Party Poker has consistently scored in the top two spots for a long while - until this past week. Wresting the number two position firmly away from the very popular Party Poker was Full Tilt Poker, taking advantage of their choice to remain in the US market when Party Poker has not. Privately owned Full Tilt, according to the PokerSiteScout.com, hit the number two position with 3992 real cash players over the week on average, topping the Party Poker score of an average of 3513.

Poker argot:
- 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.)
- BRODERICK CRAWFORD - In Hold'em, hole cards of 10-4. From the 1950s TV series "Highway Patrol", starring Broderick Crawford.
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
- TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
- RAKE - Money taken from each pot and given to the house in return for hosting the game. Usually a percentage of the pot (5%-10%) up to some maximum amount.
