A large portion of the poker players charged following a police raid in Winnipeg will likely see the counts against them dropped.

BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
STRING BET - An unethical and often illegal means of raising whereby a player puts a call-size stack of chips into the pot and, after observing the reactions of the players, then goes back to his stack and puts out more, thus raising.
SIXTH STREET - The sixth card dealt in 7-card stud.
OPENER - The player who opens the betting, especially in draw poker. A hand may have no openers, in which case it is PASSED OUT, i.e., new hands are dealt.
TAP - In no-limit games, to wager all of one's money in one bet.
