Poker TV Show Has Surprises in Store

NBC has announced their fourth season of their popular poker TV show, Poker After Dark, and there will be a few surprises in store. The biggest is a change to the format - the show will run as a high stakes cash game as opposed to a winner take all poker tournament. Rather than six players paying $20k to play, six players will bring a minimum of $100k to the table and play $200/ $400 No Limit Texas Holdem ring games…

Poker slang:

ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
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.
BET FOR VALUE - Betting a hand that, in the long run, is expected to win more than it loses. Antonym: BLUFF.
LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
HIGH-LOW SPLIT - Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
