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!
