WSOP Academy Brings Online Players In
When registrants show up for the World Series of Poker Academy at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas they may be surprised to learn that some of their instructors are online poker pros. The WSOP is most certainly a live event, but online poker has progressed to the point that the WSOP Academy has decided to bring along some poker pros who make their living online - Mark “P0ker H0″ Kroon and Gary “Debo34″ DeBernardi - to teach. Joining them will be some live action pros, including Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke, and Shawn Rice.

Poker slang:
- HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
- INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
- FOURTH STREET - In stud poker, the fourth card dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the fourth community card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is TURN (q.v.).
