Women Prove Their Mettle at Everest Poker Japan Cup Qualifiers
Online poker room Everest Poker announced recently that two of the winners of their Japan Cup Qualifier events were women, an occurrence that property manager Jonathan May called statistically “remarkable.” At the June 23 Japan Cup live qualifier at Bar Jack in Tokyo the winner was Everest Poker player Marisuke, and the June 30th qualifier in Osaka was won by player Akemin. May pointed out that they were aware that Japanese women were becoming more involved with the game, but found the appearance of two winners impressive. The Everest Poker Japan Cup will be played out in August.

Poker argot:
- FREEROLL - [1] A poker tournament that does not charge a buy-in fee; players must earn buy-in credits through previous play at the same establishment. [2] Having a lock on part of a pot (sure to win a greater fraction of the pot than one is betting) and playing to win more or all of it.
- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
- ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- MAIN POT - The main pot, as related to one or more side pots, when there are one or more all-in player(s). The main pot is the one in which all active players participate.
