Video Poker On Chamber Head’s Plan

Video poker may find its way into prominence around Illinois if one man has his way. The head of the Chamber of Commerce for Chicago is looking to poker to pay for construction in the area. Jerry Roper imagines that hit could raise the $31 billion to cover the cost of current construction projects. Poker players would fund the construction to improve the area from doing what love to do - playing poker games. Roper is also in favor of a downtown Chicago casino for much the same reason. Others seek non gambling means to raise the money, such as an increase on cigarette tax.

Poker argot:

UNDERDOG - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that does not figure to be the winner. Ant: FAVORITE.
GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
OVERPAIR - In Hold'em, a pair in the hole that is larger than any community card on the board.
BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
