Betfair Poker Merges to Ongame Network

July 15- The merge of Betfair Poker to the Ongame Network is likely to raise the number of players on the Ongame Network significantly.

ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
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.
FLOP - [1] In Hold'em, the first three community cards, dealt simultaneously. [2] To deal a flop, or to make a hand on a flop. "I flopped trips".
SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
