Poker hobby pays off for south Fort Myers man

While some Southwest Florida retirees spend their days playing golf or fishing, Roger Linnemann spends his at the poker tables.

FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
PAT HAND - In draw poker, a hand that does not need any more cards. Specifically, a straight, flush, full house or straight flush. One might bluff and represent a pat hand but actually hold something else.
SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
OPENERS - Cards in a hand that qualify a player to open the betting.
SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
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.".
