There are some poker terms often used by pundits, in articles
and by players at the table which you may find helpful to learn.
Here they are, tilt and all!
BIG BLIND The largest of the two required (called "forced")
bets, twice the size of the posted "small" blind. BOARD Area
where five "community" cards are placed for all players to use
to make a hand. BULLY An aggressive tactic used by the strongest
player with the most chips to force another player's hand.
BUTTON The round "button" or disc that shows which player plays
last. BUY-IN The amount of money you have to "put up" in order
to play in a tournament. EARLY POSITION First two or three seats
located to the left of the big blind. FIRST POSITION First
player on the left of the big blind. FLOP The first three cards
dealt to the community, dealt face up. LATE POSITION One or two
seats to the right of the button. MIDDLE POSITION Players
4th-7th player positions after the big blind. (THE) NUTS The
best possible hand showing with what is on the board. RAISE
Betting larger than the previous bet. RERAISE Making another bet
after the pot has already been raised. RAKE What the House
Charges to operate the game. REBUY In tournaments, if it is a
re-buy event, you can re-buy chips when you run out. RIVER The
final community card dealt. SHOWDOWN Cards are turned over on
the river by the players left in the game. TURN the fourth
community card dealt.
And the one everyone needs to know - TILT. After a few bad hands
some people play too aggressively or too "loose" and usually end
up losing their chips.
Use these terms to improve your poker game and understand what
the other players are talking about, but try to stay calm and
avoid the dreaded tilt!
