Poker Room Money Will Be Returned

Online poker room Poker Stars may soon get $300k from politicians from Nevada. A certain number of Nevada State Assembly members were given money by the online poker room. They were given the money to help promote the idea of legalizing online poker. Now that the Federal government has seized four major online poker rooms domain names, the Assembly members have pledged to return the money to the online poker site. The news came from a tweet from John Ralston that those Democrats in the Assembly came together to agree to return the $300,000 in campaign contributions.

Poker argot:

UNDER THE GUN - The position that has to act first in a round of betting.
TOKE - Gambling term for "tip", as in "Toke the cocktail waitress". Comes from the term "Token of appreciation".
FIFTH STREET - In stud poker, the fifth card to be dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the last card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is RIVER (q.v.).
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.
TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
