Absolute Poker Prop Bet Interview

Absolute Poker recently ran a promotion asking players to submit their wackiest last longer prop bets. They picked the craziest ones and put them up for a public vote with the winner getting a trip out here to Las Vegas and their entry fees to the $1,000 No Limit Hold’em event paid for by the site.

The winners from Absolute Poker Mike Arniss and Tom Lipco, who joined us from the Phil Hellmuth Private Suite at the Rio. They told us about their incredible prop bet which required the loser (who busted out first) to walk home from Las Vegas all the way back to Pennsylvania.

Poker jargon:

  • 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.
  • STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
  • DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
  • FLOORMAN - The casino representative in charge of the card room or a section of a card room. Arbitrates disputes when unusual events happen.
  • 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.
  • DOOR [CARD] - A player's first upcard in stud games.
