- This is the opening bet that
each player must make in order to play.
- To run out of chips while
betting or calling, as in: John was "all-in" on the second bet.
- When an underdog hand
beats a favored hand.
- This bet is
exactly twice the amount of the player's ante bet. The Player can make
this bet if he thinks his hand will beat the Dealer's.
- A bet made by one or
more players before and cards are dealt that is forced bet (or partial).
- The top card of the deck
that is discarded face down between each betting round, before dealing
out the next community card(s). The Burn Card is security against accidental
or, of course, intentional peeks at the first card.
- A white acrylic disk that indicates who is the
dealer.
-
- Buy the
Pot
Bluffing, hoping to "buy" the pot without being
called.
- Buy the
Button
Betting or raising in hopes of making players
between you and the button fold, consequently allowing you to place
the last wager for subsequent rounds.
- Placing the last raise allowed
on a betting round (typically the third or fourth raise).
- The final card
of any given rank. The last Jack, the last King…
- The first pot established
in a hand; as opposed to one or more "side" pots created by a player(s)
who goes all-in.
- Not betting, while reserving
the right to call or raise later in the round; another word for "poker chip".
- Checking, but waiting until a player behind
you bets, and then raising.
- Drawing hand.
- A hand defined by all
five cards, i.e. straight, flush, full house, etc…
- Beating a (typically) big hand.
- Refers to having the majority
or all of the cards someone else wants with the current board. "He crippled
the deck"
- The Dealer can continue
to play only with an Ace/King or higher. If the Dealer is unable to open,
the hand is over, and the remaining Players are paid their antes.
- The amount you can win from a
given pot. Let's say there is a $100 pot. A 50% chance of winning gives
you $50 equity in the pot.
- A pot in which the majority
of all of the players call before the flop.
- The first three community cards.
They are dealt face up. Flop refers to all three of the cards.
- The Player can decide to forfeit
his ante bet after the cards have been dealt if he thinks his hand will
lose to the Dealer's.
- A hand that has been deemed unplayable
due to a factor that breaks the rules. The player who commits the foul or
who has a foul hand is prohibited from winning from the pot.
- Refers to a pot that is being
contested by only two players
- In the expression "the flop hit me."
Might be said (or thought) in the event that the flop produced a card that
helped your hand.
- The casino where you are playing,
or the establishment that is running your game.
- Odds you may include in your calculations but that
will only become true if you hit your hand. Used when your hand is significantly
more potent than usual.
- An unpaired card used to determine
your strategy when choosing between two near-equivalent hands.
- A forced bet made before any
cards are dealt. The word "live" refers to the player's or players' reserved
right to raise when their turn comes up again.
- The pile of folded and burned cards
that have been placed in front of the dealer.
- The best possible hand that has
been given on the board.
- Calling a bet even though the
bettor has a hand you can't beat. The reason for doing this is that the
pot is large enough to justify a call.
-
The unique cards you hold that no one else can see.
- A blind bet that is typically required
when you first join a card game. Some houses require you to post when you
change seats.
- Some casinos offer a Progressive Jackpot, in which the jackpot
value increases with each game. Each Player can place an additional specified
bet to be included in the progressive jackpot.
- Four-of-a-kind.
- A flop/board that doesn't really
help anyone
-
A flop with three different suits, or a complete five-card board that has
no more than two of any suit (thus impossible to get a flush). Can also
mean a complete five-card board that has no more than two of any suit, therefore
no flush is possible.
- An amount of money taken out of
every pot by the dealer - this is the game operator's income.
- A card's numerical value (as opposed
to its suit).
- Playing as if you clearly hold
a specific hand. This can be used as a bluff or simply because you are confident
with what you have.
- A non-tournament, regular poker
game. A.K.A. "live" (refers to cash, instead of chips).
- The
fifth and final community card. It is dealt face up, alone. A.K.A. "fifth
street".
- A very tight, uncreative, fairly
predictable player.
- A card that can turn the best
hand sour.
- A pair including the second
highest card on the flop.
- David Sklansky's concept that
describes a bet or raise that you hope will not be called - but, even if
it is, you still have some outs. A player might use this tactic when betting
for value is not appropriate.
- A three-of-a-kind with two of the
rank in your hand and one on the board.
- The point after the fourth round
of betting is completed that everyone reveals their hands. If no final bet
or raise is called, there is no showdown.
- A pot which has been created but that a player has no
interest in because the same player has run out of chips.
Example:
- Anne bets
$8, Burt calls the $8, and Colin calls, but Colin has only $4 left.
- So, a
$12 side pot is created that either Anne or Burt can win, but not Colin.
- All other
bets that Anne and Bert make go into the side pot and are prohibited
to Colin.
- Colin
is only playing now for the original/center pot.
- Playing a strong hand as if
you have a weak hand in order to keep more players in the pot.
-
A pot that is shared by any number of players because they have equivalent
hands.
- A two pair that has one of each of your cards' ranks
on the board as well.
- A betting structure designed to allow players to bet
any amount, within a specific spread limit structure, on every betting round.
Typical spread limit structure: $2-$6.
- This bet is more typically a raise. The player doesn't
move all the chips required for the raise into the pot at once. The player
must verbally declare the raise or he can be forced to withdraw and call.
This system prevents players from putting out enough chips to call, reviewing
the effect, and then considering a further raise; this would be unethical.
- The rule that states
that during a hand, a player may not dig into his pocket for money.
- A player's unintentional giveaway
about the next move or strategy he plans to use.
- Playing out of control or real consideration
for the things he should be doing in certain circumstance, like bluffing
at the wrong times or raising when he just can't possibly outwit or beat
his opponents.
- (1) A player's request for time
to decide upon the next action or strategy he will take.
(2) Either ever hour or every half, the cardroom collects an amount of money.
This is another way for the house to make its money (see Rake).
- This is a small amount of money
paid by the winner of the pot that pretty much makes up the dealer's income.
- The pair that has the highest
card on the flop. As in "you flopped top pair."
- Three-of-a-kind.
- A.K.A. "4th street." It is the fourth
community card, dealt face up and by itself.
- Describes the player who initiates a betting round.
-
Any team, person or thing mathematically disfavored to win the pot.
- More or less, the opposite of bluff.
With value, or when "Betting on Value," you want other players to call your
bet. Reason being, typically, because you believe your hand will beat the
others.
- A measure of the fluctuations
in your bankroll.
