PokerStars Says Non to French Players

June 29 - Other poker sites such as Betfair and William Hill have also shut their doors to French players since new legislation was introduced.

CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
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.
INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
CASE - The fourth card of a particular rank, as in "he folded the case 9" when describing where all the 9s were in a hand. Comes from the game of Faro where an employee of the house, called the "case keeper". kept track of the number of each rank of card remaining.
