Betting in poker

In the game of poker, the play largely centers on the act of betting, and as such, a protocol has been developed to speed up play, lessen confusion, and increase security while playing. Different games are played using different types of bets, and small variations in etiquette exist between cardrooms, but for the most part the following rules and protocol are observed by the majority of poker players.

Procedure

Players in a poker game act in turn, in clockwise rotation (acting out of turn can negatively affect other players). When it is a player's turn to act, the first verbal declaration or action she takes binds her to her choice of action; this rule prevents a player from changing her action after seeing how other players react to her initial, verbal action.

Until the first bet is made each player in turn may "check," which is to not place a bet, or "open," which is to make the first bet. After the first bet each player may "fold," which is to drop out of the hand losing any bets they have already made; "call," which is to match the highest bet so far made; or "raise," which is to increase the previous high bet.

All Money In

All Money In is an American record label imprint founded in 2010 by hip hop artist and entrepreneur Ermias Asghedom, better known by his stage name Nipsey Hussle. Based out of Los Angeles, California, All Money In records is home to several west coast artists such as Hussle, JStone, Cuzzy Capone and Pacman.

History

Based in South Central Los Angeles, Hussle began releasing music in 2003. In 2009, Hussle signed his first major record deal with Cinematic Music Group and Epic Records. Less than one year later, Hussle amicably parted ways with the record company and founded his own record label, All $ In. Hussle released his first major project through his record label on December 21, 2010, entitled The Marathon. Hussle signed several artists and released projects under his label, such as The Marathon Continues (2011), Crenshaw (2013) and Mailbox Money (2014).

Proud to Pay

In 2013 Hussle decided to take a non-traditional approach to releasing his Crenshaw project, releasing the mixtape on the internet as a free download and that 1,000 hard copies would be sold through a "Proud to Pay" program at a cost of $100 per unit. The purchase of a hardcopy entitled the buyer to become a Proud to Pay member allowing them to meet Hussle in person, get an autographed CD and receive tickets to a private show. Hussle’s non-traditional approach to releasing the project garnered criticism that generated media coverage across North America.

ALL-IN-1

ALL-IN-1 was an office automation product developed and sold by Digital Equipment Corporation in the 1980s. HP now maintains the current version Office Server V3.2 for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX systems.

ALL-IN-1 was advertised as an office automation system including functionality in Electronic Messaging, Word Processing and Time Management. It offered an application development platform and customization capabilities that ranged from scripting to code-level integration.

ALL-IN-1 was designed and developed by Skip Walter, John Churin and Marty Skinner from Digital Equipment Corporation who began work in 1977 . Sheila Chance was hired as the software engineering manager in 1981. The first version of the software was called CP/OSS, the Charlotte Package of Office System Services, named after the location of the developers. In 1983, the product was renamed ALL-IN-1 and the Charlotte group continued to develop versions 1.1 through 1.3.

Digital then made the decision to move most of the development activity to its central engineering facility in Reading, United Kingdom, where a group there took responsibility for the product from version 2.0 (released in field test in 1984 and to customers in 1985) onward. The Charlotte group continued to work on the Time Management subsystem until version 2.3 and other contributions were made from groups based in Sophia-Antipolis, France (System for Customization Management and the integration with VAX Notes), Reading (Message Router and MAILbus), and Nashua, New Hampshire (FMS). ALL-IN-1 V3.0 introduced shared file cabinets and the File Cabinet Server (FCS) to lay the foundation for an eventual integration with TeamLinks, Digital's PC office client. Previous integrations with PCs included PC ALL-IN-1, a DOS-based product introduced in 1989 that never proved popular with customers.
