Poker Terms for Idiot Gamblers (Like Me)

 



When it comes to poker terminology, nobody will know whats an action card is (In Texas hold 'em or other community card games, a card appearing on the board that causes significant betting action because it helps two or more players. For example, an ace on the flop when two players each hold an ace) or a third man walking is (A player who gets up from his seat in a cash game, after two other players are already away from the table, is referred to as the "third man walking". In a casino with a "third man walking rule", this player may be required to return to his seat within 10 minutes, or one rotation of the deal around the table, or else his seat in the game will be forfeited if there is a waiting list for the game). Statically the most common poker words that people know is the following:
  • Raise
  • Draw
  • Flop
  • River
  • Blind
  • Turn
  • Action
  • Call
  • Check

For this these are the only poker terminology you should know playing professionally or just having fun with buddy. So next time don't be that loser who has to bust out the poker dictionary to prove your friends wrong. Just play the damn game!
