    Default Something really exciting about poker!!!

    Hi friends,
    I found a few poker definitions in an article and thought of sharing with all.
    Poker Definitions –

    Dealer: The Dealer is one who shuffles the cards and deals the cards to players. A dealer in online casinos is indicated with a dealer button.

    Pocket card: A Pocket Card is one of the first two cards that were dealt by the dealer.

    Community card: a card that is on the table and available for all players.

    Small blind: The amount of chips that player to the left of the dealer has to bet, depending on stakes.

    Big blind: The amount of chips that second player to the left of the dealer has to bet, depending on stakes.

    Flop: The first three cards that are dealt on the table.

    Turn card: This is the fourth card of the table. It is also called Fourth River

    River card: This is the last and fifth card on the table.

    Hand: ‘Hand’ are the five cards that the players collect from the pocket cards and the community cards.

    Dealer button: This is a red button that indicates the dealer.

    Showdown: This is a term for the end of the final betting round when all the active players turn their cards face up to see who has won the pot.

    There are numerous other types of poker with slight differences as compared to the general poker rules, but the basic gameplay style is the same and it will just take a few hands even for a newbie to get along with the different types of pokers available in the UK online casinos.
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately my dealer button (I think it is the dealer button, it is round and has 'dealer' written on it) is white. is this OK or must it be red?

    You certainly seem to be a lot more clued up on poker related matters than DaMatrix who posts here!

    Very nice friend. I'd dearly like to add to your list if I may...

    Slowrolling: After your opponent shows down his hand, which you see and know to be behind your hand, you should take a while to show your hand down giving your opponent the impression his hand is good before dashing his hopes and dragging down the pot yourself. Everyone laughs, +10 respect from your fellow players.

    Beat Beat Stories: It is essential when ever you get out drawn by a 'chaser' (say you have AK and QJ beats you), that you commit this story to memory and be sure to tell everyone you see about it and your next live event. More than once if it's a good one.

    Value: This is the principle reason for calling if you are unsure what to do. Simply say 'well i got value now' and put some chips in the pot, it will make you look like a pro despite the fact your still not sure if a flush beats a straight.

    Straights: They're not 'straights' there 'runs'.

    3 pairs: They do beat 2 pairs no matter what your opponent will try and tell you.

    That's it for now. I'll be sure to add some more later.

    Thanks
