US DOJ Wages Poker War on UK Banks

Subpoenas have been issued to some 16 banks in the United Kingdom by the United States Department of Justice in the latter’s “war on poker.” The Southern District Court of New York issued the subpoenas, and it is the same district that is building the case against Neteller operatives arrested last week. According to the London Times, these subpoenas are technically being reissued, as they were initially sent out days after the UIGEA come into effect.

Poker argot:

QUALIFIER - A minimum standard that a hand must meet in order to win. Usually applied to the lowball side of a high-low split pot.
TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
ANTE - A small bet all players are required to make before a hand is dealt. Not all games have an ante. Related terms: BLIND, FORCED BET.
IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
