Republican Party Backs Off Online Poker Attacks

The grassroots organization known as the Poker Players Alliance has led a coup against the Republican Party in the United States, getting their members to flood the party websites with requests to remove wording in their legislation that attacks online poker. Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina was one who spoke out about the decision of the political party to remove the wording in their platform that called for flat out bans on online gambling, saying it should help to add to their party more than if they left the words in.

Poker dictionary:

TURN - The fourth community card in Hold'em.
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.
HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
