Aberdeen: Poker run today

The Aberdeen Freedom Riders Motorcycle club will have a poker run today. Registration is from 11 a.m. to noon at Melgaard Park. Cost is $5….

HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
SPREAD LIMIT - A variation on fixed limit wherein the minimum and maximum bets are different. A 1-4-8 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds and 1-8 in the last round. A 1-4-8-16 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds, 1 to 8 in the next-to-last round, and 1 to 16 in the last round.
LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
