Poker Book Review: Jeff Hwang’s ‘Advanced Pot-Limit Omaha, Volume I’

‘What else could you possibly say about Omaha that you didn’t say in the first book?’ Such was the question Jeff Hwang…

FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
DRAW OUT - To catch a card that improves your situation from a losing hand to a winning hand, especially when you beat someone holding a hand that usually figures to win.
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.
