Darts Champ Tries Poker
The man they call the “greatest darts player of all time” says he can’t play darts at this level forever, and so has his eye on becoming a poker champ. Phil Taylor, who is well known for his prowess at tossing darts, shocked the poker community by coming in second at the 888.com Pacific Poker Open a few years back, padding his bank account with £179,000. Now 47, Taylor has expressed interest in playing in the main event of the World Series of Poker, the $10k main event considered by many to be the true test of poker power.

Poker lexicon:
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
- LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
- SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
- FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
