New Poker Rules Go International
Poker pro Marcel Luske, “The Flying Dutchman,” has launched the Federation Internationale de Poker Association (FIDPA) in an effort to standardize the rules of tournament poker worldwide. Along with fellow pro Michelle Lau, Luske collaborated with Jack McClelland and Doug Dalton of Bellagio, the first place to use the rules, and the Poker Tournament Directors Association (TDA), to come up with the International Poker Rules (IP Rules). FIDPA will be seeking rooms and casinos to become officially FIDPA sanctioned poker places, such as the Bellagio, where the WPT Season Seven event, the Bellagio Cup IV, recently wrapped up.

Casino poker language:
- STUD - Any of several poker games in which some of each players' cards are exposed.
- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
- TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
- 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.
- SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
- HOYLE - Edmund Hoyle (1769-?) was the authoritative source for rules of card games. Hoyle is to card rules as Webster is to word definitions.
