POKER GLOSSARY
This guide includes not just common poker terms, but also those specifically related to online Poker.
All-in
If you bet all your chips at any point, you are considered as having gone "All-in." This can happen either when you don't have enough chips to make a required or elective bet, or when you bet all your chips as a strategic move in No Limit games. Having gone All-in gives you the potential to win a share of the pot up to and including your last contribution to that pot. You cannot share in any bets added above and beyond that point. These bets form a side-pot. The all-in is also used for situations where a player in a hand loses connection to the server.
Avatar
A term from computer gaming for an image or figure used to represent a person.
Away-from-table
In tournaments, you may not "sit out". Rather, you may be "away-from-table" which means you are dealt into every hand, posting blinds when it's your turn, and then folded when there is a raise before the flop, or a bet after the flop. When you are in a tournament and need to leave, time-out, or lose your connection, you are automatically marked as "away-from-table".
Bad Beat
This term refers to a heavy favorite in a hand who loses to an opponent who was a severe underdog statistically speaking.
Bet the Pot
This term is used in pot limit games. It means your bet matches the current amount in the pot. If, when your turn to bet, the pot was at $217, and you bet the pot, your bet is $217.
Big Blind (limit poker)
In games using a blind to put money in play, the big blind is generally equal to the lower amount of the stakes for that game. In a $5/$10 game, the big blind is $5. The big blind follows the small blind, which is put up by the first player to the left of the dealer.
Blind
This term refers to the required bets, called the small blind and the big blind used to put money into play. The blinds are mandatory bets and rotate around the table.
Board
The community cards in Hold'em are collectively known as the board.
Burn
In physical poker rooms, the top card of the deck is discarded prior to each round of dealing. The intent is to minimize the risk of cheating by knowing the next card. There is no possibility of this happening in our poker room, therefore we do not burn cards.
Button
A marker, usually disk-shaped, to indicate which player is the virtual dealer. The button is used in games where position relative to the dealer is important.
Buy-in
The amount of money required to sit down at a poker game. Tournament entry fees are considered the "buy-in." At a ring game, there is a minimim and a maximum buy-in, defining how much money you can bring to the table.
Call
When a player matches the prior bet on the table, that action is termed the call.
Cap
The last permitted raise in a betting round is called the cap. We allow three raises beyond the initial bet in limit games. The third raise is the cap.
Check
If there is no bet on the table and you do not wish to place a bet, that action is termed a check. You may only check when there are no prior bets.
Client
The term for the software that you download to your computer, allowing you to interact with the poker room's servers.
Collusion
A form of cheating where two or more players attempt to gain an unfair advantage by sharing information. We do not tolerate cheating.
Community Cards
Face up cards on the table that are shared by all players are termed community cards. Texas Hold'em and Omaha always have community cards.
Dead Blind
In a situation where you have missed your blinds and wish to re-enter the game before your turn to post the big blind. You must post both blinds and the small blind is termed a dead blind, meaning it does not count towards calling a bet.
Dead Hand
A hand no longer in the game.
