New California Study on Poker Legality

A new bill has been introduced by California Assemblyman Lloyd Levine that will take a second look at ways that online poker could be played legally in the state. The California Gambling Control Commission (CGCC) would be doing the research, and the bill would require the CGCC to determine how laws could best be applied to the state. In the end, the report would give a complete picture of online poker, California and the law, and then lawmakers would be able to determine how best to proceed in the future.

Poker argot:

RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
