I even forgot these terms after a while I didn't play them, to be honest I don't remember the last time I played. but referring to your long list, there are some terms that I really don't know. please understand, because I tend to play poker online. but at the very least, this long list provides information for people who want to become more familiar with the poker-type game. In fact, there are also a number of terms that I just found out even though I am very familiar with this type of game.

I don't know whether poker is still popular with gamblers. because, since slot machines are growing. Gradually, many gamblers turned to slot games. why, because slot games don't use a lot of skill and brainstorming. but to be honest, playing poker is the type that I like the most than any other casino gambling apart from football. it's just that, when playing this game I have to really take the time. because not infrequently, we can spend a long time in one game session.
Poker gamers switched to slot machines for simpler amusement. As you said, slot games are more luck than skill, and internet casinos have led to the "gamble with a click" phenomena. Poker's strategic thinking, patience, and deep understanding of probability suit your cerebral and formal approach. Despite the time investment, you appreciate the cerebral challenge. It's intriguing that you solely dislike tactics in football. Do you like sports' spontaneity and energy? Contrary to poker's measured and regulated reality


I am very studious about Poker and I know that there are many options for Win knowing what strategy to use and how to Manage emotions. The most outstanding thing about this is that the skill for poker can be taken with things that help us, but it can be Use luck for your own benefit or to learn more . When playing poker, the cards are dealt and we don't know what comes out of those cards, at that moment luck and randomness play a very big role , I like the game because it is exciting , but it can be played very well and it Knows a lot , but if a favorable game does not come out there is nothing to do , even if it is the best player in the world.

Nice thread.

Honestly, if there's someone who's got and aware of a lot of terms. S/he may classify each term from the popular gambling games where it is originated from.

It's an informative thread and there are some fresh terms that I didn't know. And I am sure that other gamblers are too, we're not technically aware of those terms but we do like to gamble any game that we want to.

Oh... I used the word hodl not hold like you interpreted it or understood it. Hodl is also a term used in bitcoin or cryptocurrency to mean to keep your coin for the main time and especially in expectation of bull run in the future. So I tried to compare the sound to fold as it is in poker terminology.
As a Bitcoiner, I believe that he already knows what HODL means in Bitcoin but what he is explaining is about poker. Fold in poker on the other hand is not the same as HODL. I'm not into poker but according on my research, it says fold is to discard but when we HODL, we are not discarding anything rather we are only waiting for the best opportunity to come. Despite not being into poker, I'm still familiar with other terms on it like poker face and bluffing but what the op shared here are completely new in me so this thread is nice and it can help those who are learning this game.

Well after all fold , hodl and hold are having some d sound.
It will sound more close if you switch the letter "l" and "d" and call it hold. Cheesy.

there are other poker terminologies you may want to know, such as
.
.~snip~
^I think there are more that you have missed.
Just like Blinds, it is forced bets placed by two players before the start of each hand. The player to the left of the dealer posts the small blind, and the player to their left posts the big blind.
Another is the Showdown, the final phase of a hand where the remaining players reveal their whole cards, and the best hand wins the pot.
However, you have an interesting list that I must know also poker game has terminologies the same as the crypto space that there is also terminologies.

 Poker is a very interesting game and quite easy to understand and the player with the highest card of 5 scores wins, it's said to be more easier than chess game and the more you play the more skillful you get when you understand the rules and it's terminologies, there are many here that might love poker game, you can drop more poker terms if you know any.
You'll notice that most poker terms are related with military terms however some experts might think it was originated from the military, though i dont take that as a fact


I love this. I've been trying to get into poker (well I started with chinese poker which I grew tired of eventually) and I'm having a hard time looking up terminologies that most of the people I watch play are blabbering about. I'm not about to ask them what they mean when they say gappers or whatnot (and it's not like they use it all the time too just in certain occasions) so it's actually nice that you made something like this right in the forum too.

Now, only thing left to do is to understand poker fundamentally lmao. which even though I've played for quite a while now, I still find myself discovering things every now and again which you wouldn't really expect for a game that's been here since the ancient times but yeah, It's really cool sometimes. Anyway, thank you!

Even though I haven't understood much of what op gave me, I will learn how to play poker so that I can know what the things you mentioned are like for every poker player here in crypto gambling. Because all I know is that it's a game where mind, intellect and strategy are used in my understanding of it. Since this has even become an international sport, I also want to learn, honestly speaking, thank you.

Not bad. I obviously knew the meaning of all of them, although some of them I don't understand exactly like that, for example.

Donkey - someone who's not very good in playing poker is referred to as a donkey.

As the name suggests, a donkey is someone who plays like an ass, and who can often get on the nerves of those of us regulars who have some emotional control. An example could be someone who you are already seeing that he has no idea, you raise to 6BB with a premium, he pays with garbage, you pot bet on the flop, he pays you with nothing (let's say he has 8Qo and the flop is A92r), you bet on the turn and he raises because he gets a gutshot (let's say he gets a J), and when on the river he completes the straight he checks behind.

One or two hands like that are funny, but seeing him play like a retard while you keep getting fleeced by him for a while sometimes gets on your nerves.

Thanks for the list @OP. I think it can help friends who want to know more about poker terminologies to learn what it means when playing poker.

I found another list of poker terminologies but I don't know if this is another missing list or if this list is different. You can check it on this site:

Code:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_poker_terms

We can learn poker terminology, which is generally used to make it easier for us to learn it. It will take more time to memorize them or remember everything.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.
Actually I heard these terminologies whenever I play poker but never know on what it was, especially the other terminologies that are new to me. We often heard of the word "ante", "big/small blind" and pot whenever we play on the table but the other terminologies surely came from your opponents or other players or often if we watch it on TV. Thanks for this list OP.

As the player, we should know all the things to use it as the bluff strategy, like : vigorish, tank, suited and etc [1]. I just know a few because I don't really like to play poker. because I always get easily hooked when the opponent try provoke my emotions. I agree with you, Poker is not just a luck, but a skill, even if a professional player has a bad card, he can win it if have ability to control his emotion and have acting skills on the table.

I watch WSOP just for the lulz and there are some terminologies out there that I don't know the meaning of that I found here. It's not entertaining to watch something then they spew out terminologies you don't understand, and then you will take the time to search for it only to find out that something happened and you miss it. I always wondered if what I thought of Bloodbath is right, that people will get involved in a crazy turnaround or just get busted in the process. Turns out I was right with what I was thinking for once.

Thanks for this, OP. I never play poker, but I do love watching how these people can be so calm in the middle of a tense moment wherein they can literally lose all of their money in one go.

Good list of terminology @OP but sadly knowing this terminology does not increase the chance of winning in poker since it is more on a strategy kind of a game where player can use bluff to make the opponent to fold.  Honestly, I never knew that there are lots of poker terms and what @OP given is just very few of the lists of poker terminology, especially when we visit  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_poker_terms.

You are missing some other terms such as Royal Flush, small blind, UTG(under the gun), Cutoff, or straight flush. Probably a whole lot more terms that could be put here as well. I play poker frequently and could talk all day about the game. I will tell you that just knowing some of the terms will not completely make you understand the game. As you say it's like a chess match. You gotta know your opponents, tell a story with your bets, and make the other players believe that story.
Yeah i think I'll have to update my post by listing more terms that people who are interested in learning to play the game understand it better, because asides from the gambling benefits of poker it has many other intellectual benefits like,
keeping your brain active.
inprove your skill of judgement.
helps you deal with decisions like for instance, when under pressure.
also like you said you gotta know your opponent, so it helps you in reading people.

 However since you're very familiar with the game, and with your statement I believe you have a very broad knowledge about it so I'll appreciate if you explain the above terminologies you mentioned to help poker newbies reading this thread to understand better.

Your list isn't bad at all but it's too short because there are a lot of poker terms, and for those who are curious about this topic I will leave the reference for the full list of terms

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_poker_terms

There we can find some weird terms like:

angle shooting
    Intentionally using an angle to exploit an opponent such as obscuring the size of their chip stack or acting out of turn. See acting out of turn.

bleed
    To consistently lose chips through bad play, possibly resulting from tilting

bully
    A player who raises frequently to force out more cautious players, especially one with a large stack for the size of the game

coffee housing
    Talking in an attempt to mislead other players about the strength of a hand. This is also called speech play.

And some others, I really recommend reading the full list of terms to get familiarized with them if you enjoy that game.

There is a poker term that reminds me of the bitcoin term sounding like hodl Grin but it is called fold. I think it is common and could come tops in the list of those you have listed outrightly. Fold indicates when a player surrenders his card. You can surrender it verbally or by simply giving it up.


Grin funny really that need to make top of the list, because it is a popular and most used feature in poker playing, but then if I am not mistaking hold means suspending your opponent in the tournament to have a pause for you to make your next move, most especially when you have a certain card number, just like making the warning of a last card in the games some time we also use this feature in our traditional poker games.

Oh... I used the word hodl not hold like you interpreted it or understood it. Hodl is also a term used in bitcoin or cryptocurrency to mean to keep your coin for the main time and especially in expectation of bull run in the future. So I tried to compare the sound to fold as it is in poker terminology. Well after all fold , hodl and hold are having some d sound.

Nice information. I wasn’t familiar with all of the terms you listed, which isn’t that surprising since I don’t play poker all that much except for in person fun with friends. I’m used to more well known terms like Double Down or Insurance. However, the term I think most people are chasing these days is Rakeback, which I guess isn’t a strictly poker term.

I believe Insurance and Double down are terms used for Blackjack and not on Poker since there’s no insurance feature available on poker while raise is the normal term use when increasing the bet instead of double which is just x2 of the base bet on Blackjack. Rakeback is the most used terms in crypto but I think everybody here is already familiar on it since every casino provides it’s definition for their bonus program.

The OP terminology is more on the specifics of Poker which non poker player will not understand since most of them is just the name for the cards and bets terminology.

Tilt - to play wild or recklessly.

Tilt is more than playing wild and recklessly... I would say that "tilt" is when we lose control completely. It happens after making a few or more bad decisions. When we keep losing hand after hand and when nothing is working... So we start making irrational moves due to that frustration and anger, going all ins on any game at any odds. I had some good recoveries after "tilting", but many more times I suffered more significant losses... So "tilting" is really bad, when we let our bad emotions take full control most of the time it ends up badly!

OP: It is jargon associated with the game but it is not strategy terminology such as squeeze, among others, there are terms that help you understand what is being said at a table, offline Or online.

Poker just like chess has its nomenclature for example 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 is an easy reading to understand, then you to understand chess without going to a chess board, In poker, by understanding the language, you can also understand the existing documentation without watching the game.

On the other hand, the belief that poker refers only to the 5-card game, or NLH, it is a badbeat ( lol, sorry ) , in reality there are so many variants of poker, maybe it some little known:
Omaha hold 'em, Omaha h/l, Badugi, Seven card stud, Razz, Caribbean, etc.
