New “City” Clone Show with Poker Lady
P J Franklin is more likely to be found playing poker with the boys than haunting the local shoe store, but there are still enough similarities with Sex and the City that comparisons can not help but be drawn with the new show airing this week on TBS, “My Boys.” The show follows Franklin as a writer looking for romance as a woman who is more comfortable scarfing pizza at the poker game than dating, a formula that should draw references not only to “City” but to “The Odd Couple” as well.

Poker slang:
- HOYLE - Edmund Hoyle (1769-?) was the authoritative source for rules of card games. Hoyle is to card rules as Webster is to word definitions.
- OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
- POCKET PAIR - Generic Hold'em term for 2 hole cards of the same rank.
- BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
- BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
- OVER - A term used in describing two pair or a full house. "Kings over tens" means two pair, kings and tens. "Jacks over", also "Jacks up" describes a hand that is two pair: Jacks with an unspecified lower pair. Also used to describe a full house, distinguishing the three of a kind from the pair. The hand J-J-J-A-A could be described as "Full house, Jacks over Aces".
