Topic: Some poker terminologies you may want to know (Read 627 times)

Knowledge of poker terminology will come with experience, and there is no need to spend a lot of time studying certain words. If you really want to progress in poker, it's much more important to constantly analyze your hands and practice a lot, learning from mistakes with the help of specialized programs.

It is often said that no man is an island of knowledge, so for me, I am not actually surprised that I don't know some of the terminologies mentioned by the op, possibly because I am not a poker player really, but have been trying to learn anyways.

This is why it is extremely good to read, because in doing so, we get to learn many things we have not none before, all thanks to op for sharing this information here, for like you did mentioned, knowing this terminologies will definitely help gamblers who are intrested in learning about poker learn even faster.

I personally will take time to read and master all of this terminologies, since poker is one game I've always been interested to learn how to play, knowing this terminologies will go a long way I suppose.

true this is very useful for beginners,  I often play but I don't understand many terms, so your writing really helps me
even though poker looks easy if the terms in the game are not understood then I can say that winning will be difficult because we don't understand the basics of this game

But the best way is to learn them as you practice. Learning them from a thread like this and then not practicing makes no sense.

Normally if you play poker and then watch Youtube videos and/or read articles on the subject, you will naturally learn expressions. Also in the chat, although I recommend disabling it and focus on the game.

Although such a thread is not bad if you already know something about the subject to give you a glimpse of the terminology.

There are some poker terminologies that I haven't know yet and I think this would be helpful to those who wanted to learn poker. Honestly, there are some terminologies that I didn't know the name but know that some people do it because I personally did it myself on a game I played for practice back then.

I wanted to write something about poker, and I think this thread is useful, besides it is not so full of "pages"

I'm going to start by mentioning some of the jargon used in the OP, the first thing is to understand that much of this jargon is referred to the game itself, it is intrinsic and has nothing to do with the game strategy or the player's styles, to that we have to assume that today many of these adjectives are used in the opposite sense of what they really mean.

With that I mean, that for example before ( old school a player ), Tilt, literally meant that in player in thewent into disarray, today a player can enter those phases just by guile.


Then we have a Badbeat (for example) which is a situation related to the game itself, it is something that cannot be controlled, and generally its application as a term refers to a percentage greater than 70%-80% or even for some players it can be percentages greater than 90%.

Why do we need percentages to define a BB? well, many are conflip (50%-50%) or have an equity of 60%-40% and believe that losing was a BadBeat.


Then you have one that has evolved a lot today, and that the players of the new generation have exploited to the fullest, that the term itself does not mean what it once meant.

You can hear that term a lot in a poker broadcast; "The player goes out donking...!" or makes a Donkey bet.

Look at OP's quote, as he defines it, it is an old and incomplete definition, since the player's action is what defines such a denomination, in other words it is a move that the player "should not" make, and it is usually when you are not in a position to bet and you do it.

In old school poker, it was normal to give the betting action to the player who had position above you in the table order, today such a thing no longer works like that, so the term refers more to the action than to the player itself, then we fall into the beauty of poker, there are players who use it to their advantage depending on the player to their left.

Of course jargons and nonsense are the beauty of every professional engagement coupled with the strategies used in the line of actions to achieve optimum performance.  Being a player requires you having if not all tips just a few of them can be okay to sustain you which is very important when you are amongst players of similar fate so as not to hear them as Latin and confusing  although the words sounds totally strange to people who are not in the line as they would be seen as novice in the system but you should have a good game strategy by far stronger and better to hold unto while playing your games because your strategy when put in play can help you scale through successfully or ties with your opponent while playing. I think it doesn't sound a bit strange though.

Jargon and nonsense are a delicious combination, aren't they? You may find terms to be elegant, but I find them to be a bit... overdone, a charade for the uninitiated. Do you mean games? They do have some subtleties, but let's not exalt them too much. However, strategy is the real jewel here. But it appears that your interpretation is only the top of the iceberg. Defense? Simple games. The skill of mastering strategy includes offensive play, deceit, and manipulation in addition to defense

Your digression on privacy was a real wild card when it came to lying. It confused me, similar to a poker bluff. However, aren't surprises and the unexpected the main components of games and bets? Nevertheless, it would be helpful to keep in mind that, even while addressing the mysterious, clarity is a virtue

Very interesting OP, and a great idea to list these definitions because it is not only that many people are not used to that terminology, but many (most?) members here are not native English speakers so it is double as hard for us to adopt it. I'm not a big poker player myself, but I'm aware that some friends of mine here participate in poker events, and I'm sure that many of them are still learning the poker slang, so thank you on their behalf too

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.

Just bumped into this thread and I must say that I learnt a lot of new stuff that I never knew before even though I have been playing poker from the last couple of years. I have heard some of these terms in games too, but never understood them.

My favorite one among them is bloodbath because it sounds scary which makes sense here.

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.

All this is very interesting, I also thought I knew a lot of things, but there are some terms that I had not even seen, or perhaps I had seen them but they did not know that they had that meaning, however I think that poker has become so popular worldwide that all these types of words are generated, I don't know if some are logisms or things that are very native to a country in particular, such as the USA, however it is good to handle that jargon, so as not to suffer penalties in a tournament, or lose because of those words, for example as far as I am concerned, they are things that must be learned quickly so that you do not have to go through bad experiences, it has happened to me that sometimes because I do not understand some meanings of l' words I have made a mistake in something that I should not have, and practically that becomes a loss of money.

In poker, anything that is informational must be taken advantage of, in tournaments or in any PVP game that information is very important, as long as things can be done to advance or have some type of action required to gain an advantage, it must be known, in things can go very well in poker when you know a lot of things, the more you know, the more courses and more experience you have, the more you will grow in poker, and well, taking into account all this things in poker you can look for more that good luck, because in poker not everything is knowledge but it also has a lot to do with the experience you have in the games, I know many friends who play quite a lot, not in online tournaments, without going to play since college at the ims university, and they had a lot of experience, this is something that each one learns to know and according to what has happened and they have lived when they enter a casino, it is something else, they master the istem very well because they apply their knowledge and of course some They already have intuition and the more training they have with others, the more they learn.

Hand, pot, ante, and small/big blinds are real poker terminologies, but the rest are just phrases/slang from the US. I never heard for most of them as well...


I don't know who is Dolly Paton, and even less I know about her famous song "9 to 5".

I believe that every poker community has its own unique terms for many "poker situations" we get in while playing regularly. With good company, new terms can be easily created, and if there's a good laugh after it will be adopted most likely.

I thought i know enough about poker and i knew like only 14 of those, so thanks i guess. But is a fist bump really a poker term? Or related to poker at all? I never seen people do that in live games that i participated in before pandemia. Or maybe i didn't pay enough attention as i sometimes do that in other occasions.

But few of those are handy to know and i feed odd that i've never paid any attention to those words. It's like i never heard anyone said them. Are those really all used often?

Thanks for this mate. I frankly think this is first time me or someone playing the poker for very long might have understood this one or used it. May be I was just busy playing the game and trying not to freak out when someone is pressuring me to fold the cards. Lolz.

It’s better I am more focused on the cards rather than flashing my words. But yeah I am thankful I have seen this thread. May be I will keep learning them now and then so that I can Flash myself sometime. :-D

OP you can also check this glossaries https://kiowacasino.com/the-essential-glossary-of-gambling-terms/ and https://www.gambling.net/glossary.php I hope this can also be a help to your list. Though the glossaries do not have all the terms but to some extent, you can still find some reasonable number of terms in the glossaries.

Poker. Now we're talkin. It's more than just a game; it's a way of life! It takes more than a deck of cards and a poker visage to succeed. Psychological warfare is being waged on a green felt battlefield! Friend, you are a genius in your own right. Slots? Nah! It is equivalent to tossing money into a well and hoping for gold. On the other hand, poker is where the action is. You must focus on the opponent, not the cards

That's my point. I don't really understand and don't have the skills to process those cards, so I can't play poker well. I also didn't study hard to have the skills to play poker, especially since few people around me could play poker well. And that's okay because I play slots more often than other gambling games. Maybe one day I will have the desire to learn how to play poker so I can try my skills against other poker players

I'm not a fan of poker but these terminologies might help me on my casual games because most of the time only people who know this terms understand what are the next move or the task for the players, ill save this for reference.


Takes a lot of games before understand and becomes one of the vocabularies of yours to adopt this terminology, its kinda weird if you are a player who have this index glossary to your side while playing this poker game.

Yes, you are right, because not everyone can process cards correctly, especially poker, you need something called bluffing and deceiving your opponent at the table, taking advantage of your opponent's fear to deceive the cards you have, that's why almost everyone can definitely play it and it won't take long to learn it because what is needed is the courage to play on the opponent's weaknesses.

I often play poker in tournaments and it's really fun compared to playing slots that only rely on luck, after all playing slot machine games doesn't have the full adrenaline rush like poker, unfortunately poker is more winnable than playing slots that expect luck that is uncertain. while playing poker we can master the opponent's feelings when knowing his weaknesses such as using his emotions. 

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.

Well in some casinos, they really call it bullying bit indeed with gambling context it should be bluffing. Maybe it is because of the act with slight of intimidation towards the opponents. However this only works with amateur players. Have tried this once with a 'veteran' and it just became funny doing 'coz it had no effect to him. It is still an effective strategy especially if you're at the edge for having a not so good set of cards on your end. Its efficiency I think depends on the doer whether he/she would execute it properly without revealing that it is actually bluffing. Doomed if you face against people who counts and notes cards.

This intimidation really works for an experienced poker player because he knows how to play the psychology of other players. And if he meets an opponent who is still inexperienced, he will have no trouble bluffing his opponent so that his opponent will lose confidence and think that person has a very good card.

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

The two who have commented before you are clueless. Luck is only important in poker in the short term. maydna even seems to have invented a neologism, as I don't recall ever hearing that term, bullying, applied to poker. The situation he describes we call bluffing, not bullying. And bluffing can go wrong, you can get caught. Would I still call it bullying then? I don't think so.

You may call it bullying, but it's really just a standard move in the poker dance. Like a chess player using a shrewd move to corner their opponent, it's a tactic utilized by gamers to acquire an advantage over them. This is just how the game is played, pal

In your comment, I detect some hesitance and perhaps some confusion regarding poker. We can all empathize since we've been there, too! The rules may appear as complicated as a Rubik's cube, but with enough exercise, you'll begin to see the matrix. Also, one can never tell. Maybe you'll emerge as the next great poker player

Been playing poker for quite a long time now but to be honest, I'm still surprised with some of the terminologies provided by Op. Another information has been added and I have realized that there are still a lot more to learn.
Truly, crypto gambling is too broad and if we'll seek eagerly and earnestly, we will be able to adopt and learn more things that we never thought we could still learn. I thought poker is just about strategy but hearing these terms have also made me realized that it's also an emotional game. We have to be strategic to read the emotions of our opponent which I think makes the game more exciting.

You can actually still learn the terms and even play the game too it's not difficult the game of poker is very easy to play you can test the game on other online poker platforms there are many out there to learn it you might need a few days to know which cards are good and which ones bad cards in the game so you can win against other people, in the game of poker you need a little skill, the rest is also needed luck.

A good card is actually just a formality, the rest is playing bluffing which is the main thing used by poker players when opponents are afraid of losing and closing the game, that's why playing poker can win it easily using courage in playing is very important you don't have to be good at gambling and also understand about poker completely.

I know Poker requires a lot of patience and a straight face to win. I also know without skills it is impossible to win a poker game. I never played the game but has be always fascinated by it. The reason being it is most shown card games in movies & series. I was not aware of so many terms being used to play this game. Looks like it will take time for me to understand this list. Anyways the list looks good and interesting.

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.

The terminology listed by the OP is quite complete and good, but maybe not everyone, including you, really cares and wants to learn about poker terminology or so on because it's not important.
It's different if make a thread that contains learning and adds insight to being able to master the game of poker with various strategies, maybe many gamblers will be interested and provide positive feedback here.
But I was impressed with the OP because he wanted to share terminology that can be memorized if one day one wants to say or interpret one of these terminologies.

I agree with you that poker needs skill to be able to win. However, the factor that in my opinion also accounts for 50% to help you win is luck, you are lucky to have better and stronger cards than your opponent's cards, your chances of winning will be higher. If you have a good skill and good luck, that's great.

Never played poker in my life and do not understand the rules but found this thread to be intresting. I was not aware of these terminologies that the OP has shared. I do understand that poker is a game of skills and like other sports it would have various terms. This is really interesting and this thread does instigate me to know more about this game and how it is played. Thanks OP for sharing these terminologies.

 I don't know much about poker because am a lover of sports and more familiar with sports betting, but I find this very interesting because it would help enlighten forum members that would pick interest in the game and help them understand these several poker terminologies you've listed in case they come across it when play online or at various casinos, but I've heard from friends who's got interest in it that your luck in poker depends on the kind of card you get, if you're very skillfully and get good cards then you stand a chance of winning the game.
 I feel it applies to all gambling events including sports betting in which I focus more concentration on, if you might have very good strategies at selecting several odds that have high chances of being successful but would still require luck to win some of the games, like in cases where a team is required to score 2 goals before 90mins of the game and they score the second goal at 89 mins, that's referred to as luck

That is a fact but unfortunately, a lot of people don't accept it, I've heard a lot of people say that Poker is only a game of skills and someone who doesn't have them cannot win at all, I know that there are tricks and ways a master can use to make a novice lose against them but that only works if the novice doesn't know the game at all and don't have good cards in hand, otherwise, if they know that they have the best hand, they would never lose or give up.

It is true that any sort of gambling requires you to have luck on your side to be able to win, even in sports betting, which is generally a part of gambling where your knowledge and experience, and research abilities play a great role, but if you are unlucky, even the favorite team will lose a certain match and make you lose the bet.

Thank you very much for the terminology, I have been studying poker a lot, and if I had come across terms like these, but I had not really bothered to know what some of them meant, I think that I took some of them as something obvious, but I start reading and see and they are different things from what I think they were, this is very good because the players have their own jargon within the game , and this is important for tournaments, suddenly someone says something with these words and it is as if they were speaking to me in Chinese, because I would not understand anything at all, there are things that are learned every day and this is a very good way to learn more.

I'm not really into Poker but I know a little about and I want to add that it's a wrong statement for one to say Poker  more of a game of skills than luck, in all gambling activities, whether Poker, Football betting and so fort you'll need both skills and luck, they both work together for one to be able to win, to me I'll say the skills you have in poker brings you luck and more chances of winning, but sometimes you can be very skillful but very unlucky because you keep getting bad cards that makes your chances of winning little that's why I said both skills and luck work hand in hand in poker.

 Luck plays a better role in all gambling games, and in poker you can be the best and most skillfull but if you fail to get a good hand then you might be really unlucky to lose because if your opponet has a better hand and is skilled as well then they stand more chances at winning regardless of your skills, that's why both luck and skills are very necessary to be a successful gambler

I keep repeating the same thing whenever I see someone referring to Poker as a game of skill and not luck while in reality, it's a game of both luck and skills, how the hell would someone be able to win against someone who has flush having only a two of a kind in his hand? So, you might be a good player of Poker and you know bluffing and all other stuff that might give you an edge over newbies, you definitely need luck on your side in order to get good hands.

Almost every single card game is about the cards that you get and those cards are what determine the level of your luck at a particular time, if you are not getting good cards at a session, it simply means that your luck is not on your side and you are most likely going to lose more than win in that session.

Well thanks to you, I now know that I am a Donkey! in Poker. I did not see the term "Bluff" there, which is one of the most important terms used in Poker. The objective of a bluff is to induce a fold by at least one opponent who holds a better hand.

I think there are a whole science behind a bluff that only experienced Poker players can pick up on. Almost all "newbie" players have a "tell" that will give away the hand that they have. A poker tell is an action, either physical or verbal in live poker, that gives away the strength of a player's hand.

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.

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.

It will sound more close if you switch the letter "l" and "d" and call it hold. .

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 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.

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.


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:


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.

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.

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.

[1]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_poker_terms

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Even though I like poker and have played it a handful of times, I admit that I had not heard about this terminology. Perhaps, it is because those are used more frequently in the English speaking parts of the world, while here in South America it is easier to come up with our own things when comes to playing cards. The game of Truco is a very good example of it.

Anyways, thanks to OP for taking the initiative.

I completely agree with you! I think that when poker is played in person, it is less of a game of luck and more of a game of trying to spot the bluffer. This is easier because you can tell by emotions and facial features or even the tone of voice. But online poker is quite different, there is no face to look at and nobody except perhaps a username to judge. The online version is basically a game of pure luck, I would therefore say.

One of the reasons why I do not like to play online poker, really...

But there are live webcam versions, I think. Not that I have seen many of those, though.

This is a good thread for those who wants to learn Poker or still confused about the terminologies or the jargon being used by the poker players.

I honestly don't know the other words though I'm already playing poker, its good to learn this one.

This is indeed a great game in gambling, it requires analysis as well and its possible to win here all you have to do is create your strategy on how to deal and learning this can be a big help.

To dismiss luck as irrelevant and declare poker purely a game of skill would be overstating the case. Both chance and skill are essential to the outcome of any game, including poker. While a more seasoned player has a statistical edge, the luck of the draw can always swing the game in another player's favour.

The analogy to chess is, well, not perfect. In a game of chess, all of your opponent's pieces and their prospective actions are completely visible to you, while in a game of poker, certain information is concealed from you. Because of this, bluffing becomes an essential part of the game of poker. Therefore, it is more of a subjective than objective comparison to say that poker is easier than chess.

There is a poker term that reminds me of the bitcoin term sounding like hodl 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.

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.
