Poker fans bet the game’s popularity will keep on growing
With a little know-how, and a little luck, anyone can win. That simple poker truth — combined with a few years of massive TV exposure — has turned the annual World Series of Poker into an almost-Super Bowl type event.

Poker talk:
- OPEN - Make the first bet in a hand, especially in draw poker.
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
- TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
- WORLD SERIES OF POKER - A series of several different poker games with relatively large buy-ins, culminating in a $10,000 buy-in no-limit Hold'em tournament, the winner of which is crowned the World Poker Champion. Sponsored by Binion's Horseshoe Club in Las Vegas.
- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
