Poker Stars Continues to Come Over the Top
When a player in a Texas Holdem game of the no limit variety makes a large re-raise, it is said he or she is “coming over the top” of an opponent, and that is just what online poker site Poker Stars seems to have done. Since the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) went into effect in the US, many online poker rooms have left the US market in droves, forcing US players to look for other places to play. Now, according to the Which Poker site, Poker Stars has reaped the benefit by remaining behind and is now the world’s largest online poker room.

- OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
- FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
- RAIL - A barrier dividing the card playing area from a public area.
