Video Poker Defendants Cooperating With Federal Investigators

Four participants in an illegal video poker operation could lower their prison sentences if they continue to cooperate with federal investigators.

SIXTH STREET - The sixth card dealt in 7-card stud.
OFFSUIT - Not of the same suit. "I held A-Q offsuit" or "The flop was 10-6-2 offsuit". When speaking of 5 or more cards, not all/ of the same suit, i.e., no flush, as in "button had A-K-10-8-7 offsuit."
UNDER THE GUN - The position that has to act first in a round of betting.
POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
STRING BET - An unethical and often illegal means of raising whereby a player puts a call-size stack of chips into the pot and, after observing the reactions of the players, then goes back to his stack and puts out more, thus raising.
TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
