Area boaters prepare for inaugural ‘567′ Poker Run

The Allegheny River soon will be full of sharks - card sharks - as area boaters prepare for the inaugural “567″ Poker Run set for July 14.

POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
REPRESENT - Implying, by one's betting style, that one has a particular hand.
OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
