Online Poker Sites Blocked in Israel
Online poker sites will be blocked automatically in the country of Israel if a newly proposed bill is passed. The bill, which passed its first Knesset reading, has been dubbed the “Internet Porn Bill” because in addition to online poker sites and other online gambling sites, sex web sites will be blocked as well. Customers who specifically request to see these sites will be allowed to, but it will prevent accidental discovery by those who do not wish to be exposed to such sites…

Poker talk:
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
- IMPLIED ODDS - A refinement to POT ODDS which includes money not yet in the pot. Considers the potential extra bets and winnings made when a player forms a very good hand.
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
