Poker Tourney to Raise Money for Stem Cell
Stem cell research is a touchy and controversial topic, so it is with a certain touch of irony that the Aspen Group chose to raise money for stem cell treatment via poker, a much maligned game. Two events designed to raise money for stem cell treatment for three women with spinal injuries were organized to be played in Jimmy’s restaurant in Aspen. No buy in was required, but donations were encouraged, and an average of $200 per person was raised to send the women to India for the treatment.

Casino poker language:
- 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.)
- FREE CARD - A card dealt after all players checked in a betting round.
- OUT - [1] A card that will improve your hand, often substantially. A hand with many OUTS is preferable to a hand with only 1 or 2. [2] Folded, ineligible to bet or win this hand. "I'm out" is often a synonym for "I fold".
- RAKE - Money taken from each pot and given to the house in return for hosting the game. Usually a percentage of the pot (5%-10%) up to some maximum amount.
- RUSH - A winning streak. Also "ON A RUSH".
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
