Asia-Pacific Poker Tour Kicks Off

The very first day of the very first event of the very first ever Asia-Pacific Poker Tour took place recently in Manila, Philippines, as 254 players put up $2,500 each in order to play. This marks the very first major televised poker tournament in the Philippines, and big name pros such as Joe Hachem, Daniel Negreanu and Vanessa Rousso and even Hachem’s brother Tony came out to play. The APPT will also take place in South Korea, potentially Japan and China, and wrap things up with a grand finale in Australia.

Poker argot:

DOOR [CARD] - A player's first upcard in stud games.
JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
POT - The total amount of money bet so far in a hand.
KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
