JCKC Poker Room Open Again

The JCKC poker room is now in compliance with state regulation.

SHOWDOWN - The point at the end of the hand where all active players reveal their cards and the pot is awarded to the winner(s).
OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight which can be completed by drawing a card at either end. E.g., 6-7-8-9 is an open-ended straight. Also: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT. Compare: INSIDE STRAIGHT.
POT - The total amount of money bet so far in a hand.
BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
HIT - To make a hand or catch a card or cards that improves one's hand. "I hit a gut-shot draw on the river."
SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
