WPT’s Mike Sexton Predicts the Future
When Mike Sexton, the mouthpiece of the World Poker Tour and the “Ambassador of Poker”, was asked about his thoughts on all electronic poker rooms, such as the new move by the Excalibur casino to replace their human dealers with Poker Pro tables from PokerTek, he predicted that it is the “wave of the future.” Sexton says it makes sense for the casinos and once the players get used to it the computer controlled poker tables will be found everywhere. It might be a while before that future comes to pass, however, as MGM Mirage, which owns the Excalibur and ten other casinos, are not planning on repeating the move with other properties.

- QUARTER - [1] Twenty-five dollars, often symbolized by a green casino chip. [2] To divide half a pot between two tying hands. In split pot games, a player who "ties" another player for their half of the pot is said to be "quartered". One might say "I didn't bet my A-2 because I figured I'd get quartered".

- BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
- WHITE BLACKBIRD - A hand so astonishingly rare as to be unworthy of the opponents' consideration, e.g., being dealt a pat royal flush in 5-card draw.
