Poker Run in Hernando County to help needy family

COUNTYWIDEPlenty of places to celebrate New Year’sTo welcome 2010, various groups and organizations will host New Year’s Eve celebrations Dec. 31:

POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
WHITE BLACKBIRD - A hand so astonishingly rare as to be unworthy of the opponents' consideration, e.g., being dealt a pat royal flush in 5-card draw.
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.
BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
THIRD STREET - In Stud, the third card dealt to each player.
