World Poker Tour Season Six
The World Poker Tour does, indeed, take place in various places around the world, but the largest concentration is in the United States, and specifically in Las Vegas. The new schedule for the Sixth season has been released and will once again include a French event at the Aviation Club in Paris, and the Bellagio will once more host the final event of the season, the World Poker Tour Championship, to be held April 19-25, 2008. So far there are fourteen events scheduled and two special events - the Ladies Night event and the Celebrity Invitational.

Poker lingo:
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
- INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
- CAP - To cap the betting is to make the last permitted raise in a round.
- FAVORITE - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that figures to be the winner. Ant: UNDERDOG.
- LOCK - A hand that cannot be beat under any circumstances. Also: NUTS.
