Around the WSOP with Lynn Gilmartin: Week #4

Lynn Gilmartin puts together some of her favorite videos from the fourth week of the 42nd Annual World Series of Poker.

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.
FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
DEAD MAN'S HAND - Generically: two pair, aces and eights. Specifically: the black aces, black eights and nine of diamonds. The hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot to death.
BIG BLIND - A blind bet, usually a raise of an earlier blind which would be called the SMALL BLIND. In limit poker, the BIG BLIND is usually the size of the minimum bet on the first round of betting.
CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
