Jail for ‘James Bond’ poker cheat

A chef who turned high-tech poker cheat with an array of James Bond-style spy equipment has been jailed for nine months.

BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
DOYLE BRUNSON - In Hold'em, 10-2 in the hole. So named because Doyle Brunson won two straight WSOPs (q.v.) in 1975 and 1976 with 10-2 on the last hand. (Suited (spades) in 1975, unsuited in 1976).
LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
