United States Released UIGEA Online Gambling Guidelines

The United States government released proposed guidelines for the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).

TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
POSSIBLE [STRAIGHT/FLUSH] - Up cards that quite possibly could lead to a straight and/or a flush.
POCKET PAIR - Generic Hold'em term for 2 hole cards of the same rank.
