    I'll update the initial post after a couple of hours with the correct answers to allow other people to guess without seeing the right answers infront of them that you've picked out.

    Needless to say you've made a good start.

    In there very quick.

    And correct.

    If the board comes 6789, you must play your 10 giving you a 10 high straight.

    Every other straight is possible.

    First post updated with the correct answers guessed.  Maxally - you do realise Texas is a state and not a city.... unless you mean Texas city, which incidentally is still wrong. :)

    Few more to go.

    Good enough for me!  Its when a joker is used as a wild card in a poker game.  :)

    Argueably the one most open to interpretation.  Maxally got close to the answer I was looking for although I think what he described is known as rabbiting which is a bit different...

    5: rabbit hunt After a hand is complete, to reveal cards that would have been dealt later in the hand had it continued. This is usually prohibited in casinos because it slows the game and may reveal information about concealed hands. can also be called fox hunt

    Correct.

    Although the term rabbit refers to a player who digs through the cards after a hand to find improprieties or errors in a hand.

    Rabbit hunting is frowned upon when playing poker and banned from most tournaments. I think this takes place more in usa then it does over here, but most casinos will not allow the dealer to do this.

    Some other on-line poker sites, still use rabbit cam, i.e show what next card whould of been when player has won a pot before river card being dealt down.

    I am sure if tikay is looking at this, he will explain alot better then i have,  gl at the tables, and no rabbit's are harmed when playing on SKY.
