Hintze Departs, Parvis In as PokerNews EiC

PokerNews.com Editor-in-Chief Haley Hintze today announced her departure from the position, as part of an ongoing transition in editorial outlook…

SEMI-BLUFF - To bluff with a come hand that figures to win if it hits.
SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
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.
UNDERDOG - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that does not figure to be the winner. Ant: FAVORITE.
