Some poker terminologies you may want to know

[rahmad2nd]

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.

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:

Code:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_poker_terms

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.

[Poker Player]

Not bad. I obviously knew the meaning of all of them, although some of them I don't understand exactly like that, for example.

Donkey - someone who's not very good in playing poker is referred to as a donkey.

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.

[Ben Barubal]

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.

 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!

[DoublerHunter]

there are other poker terminologies you may want to know, such as
.
.~snip~

^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 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.

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

[Webetcoins]

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.

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.

Well after all fold , hodl and hold are having some d sound.

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

[livingfree]

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.

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.

[Kakmakr]

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.

[TheGreatPython]

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.

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.

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

[danadc]

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.

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.

[QueenVera]

 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

[pakhitheboss]

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 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.

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.

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.

[maydna]

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.

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.
