I know that many Texas hold 'em hands have a name. For instance, almost everyone knows that a 10-2 is called the "Brunson," because he won two WSOP events with that hand. I've heard the 10-3 is called the "Weinberg." What is the origin of this name. In fact, do you have a list of poker hand names and their origins?

I heard that the highest price ever paid by a collector for a casino chip was $75,000, at the 2005 Casino Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club convention. True? If so, what was the chip and why was it considered so valuable.

I thought that everything in the casinos is set for the house to win. Some have larger profit margins than others, but the house always wins. So how can a casino lose money?

My husband and I visit Vegas several times a year and have looked for Strip casinos that have classes on poker. We haven't found one yet! Do you know where and when any casinos on the Strip hold poker classes?

I have a New Frontier winning sports ticket from November. Is there a place that cashes Frontier chips and sports tickets after the closing?

Understanding that casinos need to meet bottom-line figures, why should they continue to try and rip off the general public by putting more 6-5 blackjack games on the floor? Do they really think people do not understand gaming that much?

In your answer on 6/20/07, you wrote that on the $2,500 video poker machines, you get a W-2G for a high pair. Are there really $2,500 machines, where you need $12,500 to load it up? And can you explain to me why you'd need tax documentation for a push -- you're not really winning anything, you're just getting your money back.

Now that the New Frontier is closed and the auction is set for July 26th, do you know if another casino bought that mechanical horse racing game they had in the back of the casino? Luxor has one that races camels, but do you know of any other casinos that offer this game?

We recently ran a question about TITO tickets and the danger of having them snatched from your machine. We received a lot of interesting feedback from our readers on the subject, so we thought we'd pass on some of your observations and tips.

I am not a high stakes gambler by any means; usually I take $500 for a three-day stay in LV. But, I am willing to wager $5 in BJ, or play with $100 on a $5 crap table. Most casinos today open $15, $25 and $50 tables with very few if any $5 tables. Those $5 tables are always very crowded. I expect the casino to win my $500 while I visit, and I don't mind. What I do mind is the fact they want it all at once. Couldn't they give me a chance to lose it over a longer period of time, and still enjoy myself? I've walked away from tables, and kept my money in my pocket and spent it elsewhere, or just saved it. If they have dealers standing alone doing nothing at a $25 table, wouldn't it be worth their time and trouble to make it a $5 table and let us little guys have some fun? It's not like we are going to break their bank.
