Poker Network Blocks US Players

One poker network has decided to be proactive and block US players, at least temporarily. With major online poker rooms getting shut down by the US, Merge Network has decided better safe than sorry. As of June 3 the poker site will not allow US players to sign up, although current players from the US can still play for real money. Merge Network has poker rooms like Iron Duke, Hero Poker, Carbon Poker, Poker Nordica, PDC Poker, and Lock Poker, all of which will be affected by their decision.

Casino poker language:

BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
CUT - To break the deck into 2 stacks of at least 5 cards each. Usually performed by the player to the dealer's right to insure that the the deck is not stacked.
FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
S&M - Sklansky & Malmuth. Generally refers to the ideas and algorithms published by these two authors. When used in a 7-card stud context, often refers to "7 Card Stud For Advanced Players", and when used in a Hold'em context, often refers to "Texas Hold'em For Advanced Players".
