My poker face reflected too much
I wore my aviator sunglasses in the breast pocket of my silver sports coat. Taking my seat among other obvious poker amateurs, I felt my pulse rate start its steady incline. By the time my first $20 bill hit the table, I felt like my head was about to explode.

Poker lexicon:
- BIG BLIND - A blind bet, usually a raise of an earlier blind which would be called the SMALL BLIND. In limit poker, the BIG BLIND is usually the size of the minimum bet on the first round of betting.
- DEAD MONEY - Money contributed to the pot by players who have folded.
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- WALK - A pot won by the last blind when no one opens.
