Old School vs New School Charity Poker
Once again the new generation of NBA stars is taking on the older generation. It might not seem quite fair to have the younger, fitter men playing against the stars of yesteryear, but this competition is not taking place on the hardwood of a basketball court, but rather at the soft felt tables of a poker tournament. The third annual New School Versus Old School charity poker tournament will sport stars such as Spud Webb and Julius Erving against their younger compatriots like Jason Kidd and Tracy McGrady to raise money for Operation Smile and the American Cancer Society.

Useful poker information:
- OVER - A term used in describing two pair or a full house. "Kings over tens" means two pair, kings and tens. "Jacks over", also "Jacks up" describes a hand that is two pair: Jacks with an unspecified lower pair. Also used to describe a full house, distinguishing the three of a kind from the pair. The hand J-J-J-A-A could be described as "Full house, Jacks over Aces".
- RERAISE - To raise after an opponent has raised.
- BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- 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.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
