Bill legalizing poker at residents’ homes busts in State House

Legislators have folded on a bill that would legalize kitchen table poker.

REBUY - [1] To purchase additional chips after an initial buy-in, usually after losing most or all of the previous buy-in. This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
LOCK - A hand that cannot be beat under any circumstances. Also: NUTS.
PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
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.
BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
