TV producer brings rowdy poker game to Playboy TV

OPENERS - Cards in a hand that qualify a player to open the betting.
STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
COLD CALL - Calling both a bet and raise at the same time, as opposed to calling a bet then later calling a raise made after the call.
BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
OMAHA - A variant of Hold'em where each player receives 4 hole cards and must use exactly two of them (together with 3 of 5 board cards) to make a hand. Often played high-low split with an 8 qualifier for low.
POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
