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.
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.
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.
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.
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
