Poker Host Leaves Tribeca for Microgaming

Recently Tribeca tables announced they were going to leave the US market, putting sites like Poker Host and Doyle’s Room on notice that if they wanted to cater to US players, they were going to have to find another network, and Poker Host has done so. Now that they will no longer be served by Tribeca, Poker Host will be moving operations to the Microgaming Poker Network, which allows US players from all but 11 states. Michigan, Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon, Wisconsin, Washington, Indiana, Nevada, South Dakota, New York and New Jersey players are blocked from the network, but players from other states are allowed.

Poker lingo:

  • BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
  • PROP - Also PROPOSITION PLAYER. An employee of the gaming establishment whose primary purpose is to keep enough players at a table to prevent breaking up the game for lack of players. Unlike SHILLs "props" make a small hourly wage but play with their own money, winning or losing based on their skill.
  • BUTTON - A distinctive token held by the player sitting in the theoretical dealer's position, when a house dealer is used. The button rotates around the table so that every player has an opportunity to be the last to act. Also, "THE BUTTON" can refer to the player who currently has the button. ("I was the button and called the blind".) Synonyms: BUCK, PUCK.
  • LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
  • IMPLIED ODDS - A refinement to POT ODDS which includes money not yet in the pot. Considers the potential extra bets and winnings made when a player forms a very good hand.
  • 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.
