NZ poker star in court

A top New Zealand poker player has been dragged through the courts by his closest card-playing mate.

BRODERICK CRAWFORD - In Hold'em, hole cards of 10-4. From the 1950s TV series "Highway Patrol", starring Broderick Crawford.
ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
SPREAD LIMIT - A variation on fixed limit wherein the minimum and maximum bets are different. A 1-4-8 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds and 1-8 in the last round. A 1-4-8-16 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds, 1 to 8 in the next-to-last round, and 1 to 16 in the last round.
RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
