The 2009 Asian Poker Tour Kicks Off!

The 2009 Asian Poker Tour is back in Manila, Philippines and promises to be even bigger and better than the last…

UNDER THE GUN - The position that has to act first in a round of betting.
FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
BIG BLIND - A blind bet, usually a raise of an earlier blind which would be called the SMALL BLIND. In limit poker, the BIG BLIND is usually the size of the minimum bet on the first round of betting.
