No Charity Poker says NFL

The National Football League put the brakes on player participation at a recent charity poker event. In the end the NFL players were allowed to watch but not play in the poker game. The NFL players were ready to play and even had assigned seats when the NFL issued an edict declaring that they could not be poker players, just poker observers. The charity event raised money at the Golden Nuggest Casino in Las Vegas for Starkey, a Minneapolis foundation that provides hearing aids to children. The Raise Your Hand for Africa poker event also had big name celebrities like Steve Martin.

Casino poker language:

TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
POCKET PAIR - Generic Hold'em term for 2 hole cards of the same rank.
ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
POSSIBLE [STRAIGHT/FLUSH] - Up cards that quite possibly could lead to a straight and/or a flush.
PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
