- discard

To take a previously dealt card out of play. The set of all discards for a deal is called the "muck" or the "deadwood".

dominated hand

A hand that is extremely unlikely to win against another specific hand, even though it may not be a poor hand in its own right. Most commonly used in Texas hold 'em. A hand like A-Q, for example, is a good hand in general but is dominated by A-K, because whenever the former makes a good hand, the latter is likely to make a better one. A hand like 7-8 is a poor hand in general, but is not dominated by A-K because it makes different kinds of hands.

donation

A call made by a player who fully expects to lose; made either out of boredom or irrational optimism.

donk, donkey

Epithet for an inexperienced, unskilled, or foolish poker player. I played that hand like a donkey.

donk, donk down (verb)

To play a hand poorly. I donked off 15 bucks on that last hand.

donk, donkbet

Betting when one doesn't have the lead.

donkament

A large multi-table tournament with a high proportion of unskilled players, especially online.

door card

In a stud game, a player's first face-up card. Patty paired her door card on fifth street and raised, so I put her on trips. In Hold'em, the door card is the first visible card of the flop.

double-ace flush

Under unconventional rules, a flush with one or more wild cards in which they play as aces, even if an ace is already present.

double-board, double-flop

Any of several community card game variants (usually Texas hold 'em) in which two separate boards of community cards are dealt simultaneously, with the pot split between the winning hands using each board.

Any of several Draw poker games in which the draw phase and subsequent betting round are repeated twice.

double belly buster, double gut-shot, double inside straight

double suited

Used to describe an Omaha starting hand where two pairs of suited cards are held. May be abbreviated "ds" in written descriptions. AAJT (ds) is widely considered a premium PLO starting hand.

double through, double up

In a big bet game, to bet all of one's chips on one hand against a single opponent (who has an equal or larger stack) and win, thereby doubling your stack. I was losing a bit, but then I doubled through Sarah to put me in good shape.

downcard

A card that is dealt facedown.

down to the felt

All in, or having lost all of one's money. Refers to the green felt surface of a poker table no longer obscured by chips.

drawing dead

Playing a drawing hand that will lose even if successful (a state of affairs usually only discovered after the fact or in a tounament when two or more players are "all in" and they show their cards). I caught the jack to make my straight, but Rob had a full house all along, so I was drawing dead.

drawing live

Not drawing dead; that is, drawing to a hand that will win if successful.

* 100 million trees are cut down each year to create the approximately 4.5 million tons of junk mail in the United States

* 28 billion gallons of water go into the production of American junk mail annually

* Your name is typically worth 3- 20 cents each time it is sold for a direct mailing

The effects of Junk mail

* Destroys a tree and a half per person.

* Creates 4 million tons of unnecessary waste.

* Fills 3% of American landfills.

* Steals $320 million in American tax dollars for disposal fees.

* Uses 28 Billion Gallons of water for paper processing.

* Most junk mailers use inks with high concentrations of heavy metals like Zinc and Magnesium in addition to high gloss U.V. varnishes. These substances have half lives of millions of years.

* 44% of all junk mail is thrown in the trash, unopened and unread.



- The backbone of the game is that each poker hand has its own point value, as given in this table:

* One pair - 1 point.

* Two pair - 2 points.

* Three of a kind - 3 points.

* Straight - 4 points.

* Flush - 5 points.

* Full House - 6 points.

* Four of a kind - 7 points

* Straight flush - 8 points

Basic rules

Chicago is played with a standard 52-card deck. Each player is dealt five cards. The objective is to reach 52 points.

Exchanges and hand scoring

The players are allowed to exchange any number of their cards. If a player chooses to exchange one card only, he may choose "one up", meaning that he is dealt one card faced up, which he can either accept, or instead take the next card unseen. After the exchanges, the player with the best hand (and only one player) gets points for his hand. Then follows another round of exchanges, but no hand scoring.

The game

Now, the first player begins by playing one card. Ordinary whist rules apply, but the players keep their cards collected by themselves. The player who wins the last trick gets 5 points. Also, the player with the best hand (whether it is the same player or not) gets points for his hand.

Chicago

After the second exchange, any player can choose to play Chicago. In this case, he pledges himself to win all the tricks of the game. If he does, he is awarded 15 points, but if he fails, the penalty is just as harsh: -15 points.

Variations

* Sometimes, a player given five cards below ten (either inclusive or exclusive) is allowed to replace them before the exchanges begin.

* Some play with 3 exchanges instead of 2. Then of course, scoring for hands will be made after both the first and the second exchange.

* Some do not use the "one up" rule.

* Often, one wants to give higher rewards than 7 or 8 points for Four of a kind and Straight flush respectively. There are several ways to achieve this, most notably by elevating the player immediately to 52 points, or lowering either all players or one player of the holder's choice to 0 points, or a combination of these. Some also separate the Royal Flush from the Straight Flush, awarding 9 points for a Royal Flush. Holding a Royal flush usually means immediate victory.

* The confusion is great as to what scores are appointed in the case of Chicago. Some will argue that no player will get any points at all besides the +15 or -15, whilst others will allow almost any points. The +5 for the game, however, can never be stacked with the +15 for Chicago. Yet another variation is to award +13/-13 points for Chicago and the declaring player gets to go first. In that variation it is forbidden to declare Chicago unless the player has reached 13 points, ruling out the possibility of a negative score.

* Some prescribe that any player with 45 points or more is not allowed to replace any cards.

* Some require that after (and not in the same hand as) a player reaches 52 points, he must win the game once more before he actually wins. This handles the possibility that more than one player reach 52 points in the same hand.

* Some award 10 points instead of 5 if the last trick is taken with a deuce.
