Women’s Poker School to Open

Poker is no longer just a man’s game, as anyone who peeks into a poker room or turns on some poker TV can plainly see, but the game still offers unique challenges to women players when it comes to dealing with the guys. To that end a poker school for women will be opening up, starting with a free seminar at Harrah’s New Orleans in December. The name of the school will be the Women’s Ultimate Poker Academy, created by Lauren Failla, also the creator of the High Heels Poker Tour.

Poker slang:

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.
OPENERS - Cards in a hand that qualify a player to open the betting.
BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
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.
SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
