Previewing the 2011-2012 World Series of Poker Circuit Caesars Palace

The WSOP Circuit Caesars Palace will culminate this weekend with a $1,600 Main Event. Check out our recap of the ring events thus far.

REBUY - [1] To purchase additional chips after an initial buy-in, usually after losing most or all of the previous buy-in. This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
NO-LIMIT POKER - A game where there is no maximum bet; a player can wager any amount (perhaps above some minimum) up to whatever money is on the table in front of him.
FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
