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.

SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
MISDEAL - A hand dealt incorrectly that must be re-dealt.
NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
SCOOP - To take all of a pot that is normally split, either by winning both halves outright or winning one half when no players qualify for the other half.
AMERICAN AIRLINES - In Hold'em, a pair of Aces in the hole. Better known (at least in rec.gambling) as POCKET ROCKETS.
