Poker Pros Bet on Hockey

Having a poker player bet on sports is not anything new or surprising - in fact, many of the biggest names in pro poker are also very successful, or at least prolific, sports betters - but Daniel Negreanu and Gavin Smith are betting in a different way on Hockey in Topeka. The pros have been actively looking at the Kansas Expocentre to bring the Tucson Tilt into town, a B Level hockey team that fits right up the poker pros alley - both are sports nuts, and both hail from Canada.

Poker jargon:

EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
FOURTH STREET - In stud poker, the fourth card dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the fourth community card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is TURN (q.v.).
GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
KICKER TROUBLE - Not having as high a kicker as an opponent.
