Die Hard Poker
I am a die-hard Poker fanatic. When I go to Las Vegas or Atlantic City for a weekend getaway, the poker tables are almost always my first stop. Even when I can’t make it to my favorite casino, I still love to play my favorite game on the Internet.

Casino poker language:
- ALL-IN - To have all of one's chips in the pot. A player who is all-in cannot be forced out of the pot by more betting, but is only eligible to win that portion of the pot he has contributed to. Generally, a SIDE POT is created each time a player is all-in.
- 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).
- SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
- NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
- COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
- POSSIBLE [STRAIGHT/FLUSH] - Up cards that quite possibly could lead to a straight and/or a flush.
