Sure, Jim. Let me get out my English-to-Poker / Poker-to-English dictionary <g>:

We start out with 300 no-cash-value (NCV) chips (usually an assortment of 5's and 25's). Gene suggested "take one blind" in order to get your chip count below 300.

[The blinds are put up by the first and second players "under the gun", or just to the left of the player with the dealer button. Technically, you shouldn't even have to take one blind, as our rules state "one optional re-buy any time during the first hour", meaning you can re-buy for $20 for 300 additional NCV chips even before the first hand if you want to. [Note: if Orleans standard Poker Room rules require re-buys to occur after the player's chips are valued below the original buy-in (i.e. 300 in chips), we can follow those rules for simplicity; it makes very little difference.] To continue...

Next, you re-buy for $20 and receive the 300 additional NCV chips, for a total of prox.600 NCV chips in front of you. This gives you enough ammunition to raise and reraise and attempt to intimidate some other players.

The part about "raise every time you get a 10/4 offsuit or better" is a joke...unless you're really good about intimidating or bluffing others. A 10/4 offsuit is a terrible starting hand, because there are too many spaces between the 10 and 4 to fill a straight, and by being off-suit, you can't play these cards to fit with a flush either. On the other hand, a miracle flop of 10-10-4 would give you an instant full house, so anything can happen!

What Gene is suggesting (I think) is to just fire those raises and re-raises into the pot on nearly any hand, and either (a) get lucky early; (b) intimidate your opponents into folding better hands; or (c) wind up out of the game and on the rail quickly. Basically a "go big or go home" strategy. Of these choices, (c) is the most likely, so he's just kidding around with some of the other LV locals who read this BB. (There ARE professional poker players who can and do get away with playing "junk" hands, but they know what they're doing, and they REALLY know how to read other players.)

Poker can indeed be a foreign language until you spend some time at the table.
