Quebec Keen to Offer Online Poker This Year

February 8 - Quebec’s finance minister says that online poker playing citizens are not currently protected and that money goes to illegal channels.

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.
PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
SIXTH STREET - The sixth card dealt in 7-card stud.
OPEN - Make the first bet in a hand, especially in draw poker.
FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
