Poker Language

Poker-Lingo

You should be able to find several indispensable facts about poker-lingo in the following paragraphs. If there's at least one fact you didn't know before, imagine the difference it might make.

Have you ever sat in on a poker game and wondered what in the world are they talking about? I have and let me tell you, sometimes it’s like they have their own language. Well here you have it, the secrets unveiled. The meaning behind the poker lingo!!

Say for instance, you’ve been dealt 5 cards no straight, no flush or pairs all it contains is 1 Ace. This is called Ace-High, meaning it’s the highest card in your hand. In contrast to Ace-high is Aces Full, this is a hand of cards in which you have a full house with three aces and any pair.

Ok, now you’ve been dealt a hand that contains 2 pairs, one of which is aces you now have Aces Up. At which time you will perform an Action which is Checking/Betting/Raising. A game in which players are playing a lot of pots is considered to be an “action” game.

You and your friends, sitting around the table one Saturday night, playing a friendly game of poker. You feel brave and go All-in, careful; you just made a bet with all your remaining chips. Good luck!!

If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole poker-lingo story from informed sources.

The Ante is money placed in the pot before the hand has begun. So Ante Up and maybe you will fly with American Airlines with two aces, or ride a Bicycle with a straight that is A-2-3-4-5. How about strolling down Broadway with an Ace high straight (A-K-Q-J-10)?

Sometimes you’ll find a Broomcorn’s Uncle in a group, a player who antes himself broke. Watch out for shooting Bullets with a pair of Aces. If you’re feeling lucky, or just have a really good hand, go ahead and bump or raise the bet.

When visiting a casino, check around, the Card Room, at certain tables to see what the Buy-in is, you certainly don’t want to choose the table that requires more money than you have to sit down for the game. When you find the right one, don’t push you’re luck Cash Out when your luck has run out.

Watch your opponents, if there is no bid to match or raise, and you’re just unsure, go ahead and check, you won’t have to bet. Have fun with it if you check and someone else bets, if you’re hand isn’t too shabby perform a Check Raise, and raise it.

The poker lingo is fascinating, yet confusing, to write about them all it would take me days. The more you play the more you learn. So go ahead, in your next poker game, surprise your buddies by knowing what you’re talking about.

It never hurts to be well-informed with the latest on poker-lingo. Compare what you've learned here to future articles so that you can stay alert to changes in the area of poker-lingo.

Online Poker

Poker – Online Poker Etiquette
Copyright © Robert Godwin
http://www.GODWIN1.COM

The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary.

When playing online poker you’re in a totally different world than when sitting in a casino. While you’re not able to stare your opponents down there are still various points of etiquette you should be aware of to ensure you and all of the players have an enjoyable experience.

It is wise to be polite when using chat, do no swear or use any form of bad language in general. You would not want someone swearing at you for any reason, please put to use the age old rule of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.

Do not use chatting as a way to badger other players or to criticize their method of playing. What may be a common way to play to you may be something totally different to another.

Do not discuss the cards within your “hand” with other players while the hand is in progress even if you have folded. It is unwise to give any player an advantage over another. It is a form of cheating allowing players to know what is already out of the game.

English is the most common language used in playing online poker. Use only English when chatting. It’s common courtesy and allows you to communicate effectively with your opponents.

The information about online gambling presented here will do one of two things: either it will reinforce what you know about online gambling or it will teach you something new. Both are good outcomes.

When you are in need of a break, take advantage of the sit out option to ensure the game continues to run smoothly without holding it up.

Refrain from discussing your hand after each game. After the hand is completed it is generally true that you are the only one interested in the possible outcomes of a hand and it’s irrelevant to your opponents.

Be careful not to point out others mistakes or gloat over winning a hand. It is not polite and perhaps the person is new to the game. By pointing out their mistakes you’re likely to upset them.

Do not chat so frequently that you are holding the game up. Keep in mind that most are there for the play first and foremost not to chat.

If you are playing at more than one table be sure to pay attention so you do not hold game play up at any of them. A good thing to practice is playing one table at a time.

If you put these general etiquette rules to use you are ensuring yourself and other players an enjoyable online poker experience.

It never hurts to be well-informed with the latest on online gambling. Compare what you've learned here to future articles so that you can stay alert to changes in the area of online gambling.
