Mansion Poker: Reports of Our Death Were an Exaggeration

eGaming Review reported this morning that contrary to what one of its sources had told them, Mansion Poker is not on its way out.

The source …

HOYLE - Edmund Hoyle (1769-?) was the authoritative source for rules of card games. Hoyle is to card rules as Webster is to word definitions.
CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
OMAHA - A variant of Hold'em where each player receives 4 hole cards and must use exactly two of them (together with 3 of 5 board cards) to make a hand. Often played high-low split with an 8 qualifier for low.
FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
