Is Christmas a good day to play poker?
I have always thought the games seemed kind of tight and most of the players a little grumpy. Playing or not have a merry Christmas.

Whose turn is it?
Is there a specific term for the player whose turn it is to act?

Over the long term, how often will AA lose a hand?
On average, how often would a pair of aces win a hand?
I dealt at a fairly large hold-em tournament last weekend, and 4 of 5 times AA was shown the hand lost. The one time it won it was because a 3rd A came up on the river to beat 2 pairs.
