Important Poker Phrases Version Three
2010-12-10
This article will go on with poker terms you should know when you download money poker sites. In October I finished off with a phrase that started with D.

Whether you prefer tourneys or cash games on Ultimate Bet for Mac, 'effective stacks' is a word that comes into play very often. When two players are in a pot, they can only wager up to the total in the shortest stack (the effective stack). If you have 3,400 chips and your opponent has 2,200, the effective stack is 2,200.

The next phrase I will tell you about is 'flip', a suggestion that might come if you play a friendly cash game on a Lucky Ace Poker download. Basically the players involved in a flip agree to go all-in preflop with whichever cards are dealt to them. You might be thinking to yourself that this does not coincide with the definition of flip you heard the other day. Well a flip can also describe a situation in which you have 50% equity. For instance, if you participate in a Sit&Go and you push your chips in with AJ and get called by TT, this could be called a flip because your equity in the hand is around 50%.

I thought 'gutshot' was a good word to pick for the next letter. When you have a gutshot straight draw, you are basically hoping for one of 4 outs to complete your straight. For instance, if you take a break from Craps online and get dealt 78 in a ring game, you might feel frisky and decide to play it. You limp behind and the flop comes down 9J2. Your draw is a gutshot because you only have a straight when a particular card comes (four outs). If you ever hear about an 'inside straight draw', it is the same thing.

I chose 'Hero fold' for the letter H. When you make you a hero fold, you are making a difficult fold with a relatively strong hand. Pretend that you are in a cash game on your Everest Poker download and you are playing with someone that you have never seen raise before. You get dealt 22 and flop bottom set on an uncoordinated board, but instead of folding or calling, your opponent decides to raise! Laying this hand down to one raise is a clear case of a hero fold. An amateur player will find these hands difficult, but unlike some other games, poker is a thinking game and sometimes big folds are prudent.

That is my last term for this entry, but I will be sure to continue on when I come back in November. In the meantime, be sure to play lots of hands and get lots of practice.
