1) Name the 1979 inductee of the Poker Hall of Fame who is credited with introducing Las Vegas to Texas Hold em in 1963. No clue

2) Who is the man also known as "Wild Bill" who held the hand which is now known as "dead man's hand." (Black A, 8) and who was the man who shot him in the back of the head? William Wild Bill Kichock....No Clue

1) Name the 1979 inductee of the Poker Hall of Fame who is credited with introducing Las Vegas to Texas Hold em in 1963. Felton "Corky" McCorquodale

2) Who is the man also known as "Wild Bill" who held the hand which is now known as "dead man's hand." (Black A, 8) and who was the man who shot him in the back of the head? Officially his name was James Butler Hickok. He is known more famously as Wild Bill Hickok. Bill is not actually part of his name, and no one (anymore) knows where it truly came from. Jack McCall is the "man" that shot him in the back of the head.

3) Define the term "payoff." Simply, when you pay someone off, you call a bet they made and you lose. (whether it was a value bet they made, or you put them on a bluff, etc). There is no such thing as paying someone off when you call and win. That would be contradictory.

4) Define the term "playback." Playing back at someone is when there is a raise, reraise, etc. For one example. you make a bet, and someone raises you. If you reraise them, you are "playing back" at them.

5) What is "rabbit hunting"? After you fold your cards, you ask to see the next cards that would have come out (usually in an attempt to get self-validation of the fold you just made).
