Topic: Some poker terminologies you may want to know (Read 478 times)

Absolutely, it is good one knows more about what ever they get  themselves involved in not to talk of when it has to do with something that has some technical actions. Sometimes these terminologies are otherwise called professional jagons which are names professionally given to some certain acts or arts. Actually it also gives beauty and uniqueness to some professions and makes it more attractive too and same is applicable to games too.  Sometimes it is good to communicate professionally when it comes to privacy and discretion as not to allow the third party to not understand your conversations.

Lastly, having a strategy is a good game benefit for you because with your strategy, you could be able to win your opponent or possibly have a draw with them.  On a normal before one gets engaged in games, you must have had a well planned strategy for your opponent to defend yourself while playing with them. This would give you a good play ground.

Yeah like using these terms real time would make you sound like a professional poker player. You no longer be judge as a beginner in the table. Ypu won't get intinidated by other players easily because youao somehow know the terminologies.

But regardless of how many terminologies you know, if you don't have the strategy playing and the consistency applying it, you still gonna lose playing poker.

Op had really done well and those that want to learn some of these terminologies will not have go and search on the internet for all these words again for them to learn unless if they want to proceed to learn more of them. I have long ago trying to learn more about poker and I think going through this thread remind me that I still have something to learn about without trying to be procrastinate. Poker is a nice game and I hope to get into it in less than no time.

A good initiative by you OP. This will help people know some useful terms when they hear it and moreover one can make him or herself familiar with it early enough to not be taken unawares when such is mentioned to their hearing.

Terminology matters in every field of life so getting acquainted with it would help ease some stress of communication and make one fast in adapting to the system in which they find themselves. You have done well OP and I will suggest you keep updating the list as time goes on because I believe there are more that are not yet on the list.

Everyone can play poker, but not everyone can understand and have the skills to process cards to be able to win in a poker game session.
It takes quite a long time if you want to really master the game of poker, and even then you can't really say you are an expert because for every skill or prowess in playing there are other gamblers who are more experienced and more powerful.
But poker terminology like this is definitely understood by poker game experts, it's just that we might be a little lazy if we have to study and understand it because it's a little boring and easier in slot games that don't need understanding and waiting for luck to come to win.

I don't really understand the game of poker, so maybe that's what you see if there is some hesitation and confusion about poker. But I think that's normal because, in my opinion, playing poker requires more skills which I may be less able to understand than slot games which are very easy to understand

You may call it bullying, but it's really just a standard move in the poker dance.

That's obvious. Without skill, you will only experience defeat. Perhaps, luck still plays a role in winning the game of poker, but we also have to have skills in playing poker, including how we can bully opposing players. I've seen someone play poker convincingly even though, after one round, it turned out that the cards weren't that good. I also don't understand where it's not good because I don't really understand the poker game. Perhaps, that person can bully other players by convincing them that he has very good cards.
