$7 Million Aussie Poker Scandal

The Australian consultancy Gaming Associates has been retained in order to investigate an alleged $7 million scandal, and as a result even more questions about certain poker rooms have been raised. Gaming Associates was brought in during the month of November to investigate what was called a security breach that allowed a poker room employee to get an access to private information that led to his winning a major poker tournament. The issue that many are taking with the investigation is concerning the fact that the poker room itself is funding the investigation, and there are no third party eyes on the ground.

Useful poker terms:

  • BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
  • 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.)
  • MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
  • HIT - To make a hand or catch a card or cards that improves one's hand. "I hit a gut-shot draw on the river."
  • OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
  • TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
