Online Poker Mansion Sees Shirt Program Folded

When online poker room Mansion Poker partnered with Tottenham Hotspur on a £34 million shirt sponsorship deal in the summer of 2006, hopes were high for the four year commitment and what it could produce for both parties. For Mansion Poker, however, it seems to have been a complete wash, underperforming instead of taking off. While an eGaming Review Magazine report suggested that Mansion would lower their focus on their sports betting sector to focus on online and offline poker, Mansion Poker has said that is not the case.

Useful poker terms:

  • S&M - Sklansky & Malmuth. Generally refers to the ideas and algorithms published by these two authors. When used in a 7-card stud context, often refers to "7 Card Stud For Advanced Players", and when used in a Hold'em context, often refers to "Texas Hold'em For Advanced Players".
  • POSSIBLE [STRAIGHT/FLUSH] - Up cards that quite possibly could lead to a straight and/or a flush.
  • RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
  • MUCK - [1] A collection of face-down cards near the dealer composed of discards, i.e., folded hands, burns and discards for drawing purposes. [2] To throw one's cards into the muck, thus folding.
  • 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".
  • FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
