From Celebrity to Professional Poker
Lately I feel that the world is slowly adjusting to the poker scene. Although the legality issue seems to become a factor all over the globe, women, men and even children still worship the games they view on TV (lets face it, to watch someone else play Hold ‘em, you have to really love the game).

Poker terminology:
- SIDE POT - When an active player runs out of money during the course of a hand, the remaining players participate in a second or SIDE POT for the rest of the hand. Additional side pots are possible if several players run out of money at different points in a hand.
- SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
- LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
- DEAD MAN'S HAND - Generically: two pair, aces and eights. Specifically: the black aces, black eights and nine of diamonds. The hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot to death.
- RUNNER-RUNNER - A hand made using both of the last two cards dealt.
- TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
