Venetian Deep Stack Poker Event
In poker, when a Deep Stack event is announced, you can expect a lot of players - especially pros. The deeper a player’s stack - or the more chips he has - the more options he has, and the longer he can play. The longer a game goes on, the better more skilled opponents do, and that will be the order of the day at the new 2008 Deep Stack Extravaganza series announced recently at the Venetian casino…

Poker lingo:
- CHASE - To continue in a hand, often at poor odds, in the hopes of catching a much better hand. "He called, chasing the flush.".
- LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
- DRAWING DEAD - A draw in which it is impossible to obtain a winning hand for any of a variety of reasons: an opponent's hand is better than whatever you are drawing to, the card(s) that make your hand are out of play, or (in Hold'em) give an opponent a stronger hand even if it makes yours. Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
- TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
- RUNNER-RUNNER - A hand made using both of the last two cards dealt.
