Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
scare card:
scare card: A high card that threatens weaker hands. Having an Ace turned up in Seven-Card stud is a scare card as it may make a pair of Aces scaring someone holding a pair of Kings. slow play: Having a strong hand and playing as if having a weak hand. Not betting or raising a strong hand for the sake of deception. Small Blind: The player one seat left of the dealer in Texas Hold’em, Omaha, etc. The player required to start the betting of the hand, with a forced bet, without looking at his cards, a “blind bet.”
table talk:
table talk: Conversation over the play of a online hold'em poker hand. tell: A player’s actions at the online hold'em poker table, which “tells” or informs other players if they are playing a weak hand or a strong hand. Players with strong hands often act weak. Players with weak hands often act strong. Expert players are generally lacking in “tells” when playing poker, as they have well-controlled “poker faces.” thirty miles: A cute term for a online hold'em poker hand with Three Tens. tight player: A player that only plays the best or strongest cards and only bets with a strong hand or a winning hand or a player who sits in a online hold'em poker game and plays very few hands. turn card: The fourth exposed card in Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Crazy Pineapple, etc.
