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:

HIGH-LOW SPLIT - Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
DOOR [CARD] - A player's first upcard in stud games.
FOLD - To decline to call a bet, thus dropping out of a hand.
TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
