Poker Players Seek Casinos

After a number of online poker rooms became blocked to US players some land based casinos are moving to fill the gaps. A number of casino executives have spoken recently that they are ready to receive poker players who can no longer play online. While online poker is not stricktly illegal in the United States, certain elements of the industry are, making it a moot point to the players when the poker rooms start blocking them. PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, UB.com and Absolute Poker are among those sites blocked to US players. The site owners are the ones who did the blocking, after members of their companies were arrested by US officials.

Poker talk:

FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
DEALER'S CHOICE - In home games, a rule that permits the dealer to name which poker game to be played that hand. Often limited to selecting from a list provided.
BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
