Poker Theory a College Course
With classes that will teach a learner how to fix a plumbing problem, change a spark plug and work as a nurse, community colleges that offer continuing education courses are on the look out for ways to help people improve their work life, and the Cleveland Community College aims to add Poker Theory to that list. The course will start on June 2nd and run through July 21st, for three hours a week. Concepts and math of poker are the key concepts of the course, along with the concepts of No limit Holdem and Limit Holdem, as well as other variants such as Omaha.

Poker terminology:
- 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.
- 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.)
- FREEROLL - [1] A poker tournament that does not charge a buy-in fee; players must earn buy-in credits through previous play at the same establishment. [2] Having a lock on part of a pot (sure to win a greater fraction of the pot than one is betting) and playing to win more or all of it.
- CHECK RAISE - To check initially, then raise a bet made later on in the same betting round. Frequently a sign of strength, but may be a bluff.
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- HOUSE RULE - Rules and interpretations (e.g., use of wild cards, or rules on having to show beaten hands) that are specific to an establishment or even tables within the establishment.
