Reader vents about randomness of video poker
I am probably the No. 1 video poker fan in the world. The random number generators are totally baloney. Random refers only to the cards you receive when you are in a winning or losing mode. IGT and all you writers call that random. I do not. Random number generators are random in separate modes.

Poker glossary:
- OVERPAIR - In Hold'em, a pair in the hole that is larger than any community card on the board.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- DOYLE BRUNSON - In Hold'em, 10-2 in the hole. So named because Doyle Brunson won two straight WSOPs (q.v.) in 1975 and 1976 with 10-2 on the last hand. (Suited (spades) in 1975, unsuited in 1976).
- LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
- REBUY - [1] To purchase additional chips after an initial buy-in, usually after losing most or all of the previous buy-in. This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
- BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
