Aruba Poker Classic re-airs on GSN

NEW YORK (PRESS RELEASE) — It may feel like the dead of winter, but one hot poker tournament is making waves all across America this February.

BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
ASSAULT RIFLE - In Omaha, hole cards that are A-K-4-7 of any suit(s).
SPREAD LIMIT - A variation on fixed limit wherein the minimum and maximum bets are different. A 1-4-8 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds and 1-8 in the last round. A 1-4-8-16 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds, 1 to 8 in the next-to-last round, and 1 to 16 in the last round.
JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
