The Weekly Turbo: Another Poker TV Show, a Poker Player Quits, and More

There’s another poker themed TV show coming to your living room, a poker player called it quits this week, and more all in today’s Weekly Turbo.

SIXTH STREET - The sixth card dealt in 7-card stud.
ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
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.
PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
MANIAC - A player who bets, raises and reraises without regard to the quality of his hand. Most often found in flop games.
