PokerStars EPT San Remo, Day 3: Galic Holds Lead as Money Reached

Day 3 of the PokerStars European Poker Tour San Remo Main Event saw a bubble burst, dreams shattered and stacks decimated…

BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
OFFSUIT - Not of the same suit. "I held A-Q offsuit" or "The flop was 10-6-2 offsuit". When speaking of 5 or more cards, not all/ of the same suit, i.e., no flush, as in "button had A-K-10-8-7 offsuit."
CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
ANTE - A small bet all players are required to make before a hand is dealt. Not all games have an ante. Related terms: BLIND, FORCED BET.
FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
