Sometimes it seems like articles pertaining to flash Texas Holdem sites are in a foreign language, so I will continue with poker definitions today. Every now and then I come across a term that even I didn’t know!

I am going to define “Mexican Bankroll”, a bunch of $1 bills sandwiched between two $100 bills. Knowing this will not help you beat the games on Tiger Gaming, but it was the M term that stood out the most for me!

Let’s define the “nuts” for the next term. If you are playing cash games on Ultimate Bet for Mac and you have the nuts, it means that you have the best hand possible. You should always remember that the nuts on one street might not be the nuts on the next. For instance, QQ is the nuts on a Q45 flop, but if the turn is a 6, it is no longer the nuts.

If you used free poker training when you first learned the game, you probably learned that you want to avoid being “outkicked” when showing down a hand. It is important to strive for the highest kicker possible because the kicker is the tie breaker if two players have the same pair. If you have KQ and the board reads Q72A8, you have a pair of queens with a king kicker.

The last term I will define today is “polarized range”. If you are playing with a Full Tilt referral code and someone states that they think your range is polarized, they are saying that your hand is either very strong or incredibly weak.

I recently tried Bingo codes and spent a few hours with Bingo cards, but all I proved to myself was that poker is by far a superior game. If you have yet to give poker a try, you are definitely missing out! My earlier articles should help you get started, and then be sure to check back in a month for another key terms update.

This article will go on with poker phrases you might want to know when you play Mac poker. Last time I left off at the letter E.

Whether you prefer tourneys or cash games on your Bwin Poker download, it would be wise to learn about “effective stacks”. When two players are in a pot, the maximum either of them can bet is the total in the shortest stack (the effective stack). If Mike has 1,400 chips and Anna has 5,000, the effective stack is 1,400.

For the letter F I chose the term “flip”, an idea you might encounter while playing with friends on Tiger Gaming. Basically the players involved in a flip agree to go all-in preflop with whichever cards are dealt to them. The term flip also has another definition: a “coin flip” is when you have 50/50 odds in a hand. For example, if you participate in a Sit&Go on your Everest Poker download and you get it all-in preflop with QQ vs AK, this is referred to as a flip because your equity in the hand is around 50%.

I picked “gutshot” as my G phrase. When you are drawing to a straight with 4 outs, it is known as a gutshot straight draw. For example, say you chose to play some hands rather than watch poker videos, and you get dealt 78 preflop. You call a raise and the flop comes 59K. You have a gutshot because you need a certain card to make a straight (four outs). If you ever hear about an “inside straight draw”, it is the same thing.

“Hero fold” is my H phrase. When you make you a hero fold, you are making a difficult fold with a relatively strong hand. Imagine that you are in a cash game on your Titanpoker download and you are against a passive player that never raises. You peel 45 and get a 678 flop, but instead of just calling your bet, your passive opponent raises. Laying this hand down to one raise is definitely a case of a hero fold. It may seem nitty, but unlike Internet slots, poker is a thinking game and sometimes big laydowns are necessary.

I’m going to stop there, but I will start off with the letter "I" when I update this blog next month. Between now and then, hopefully you play a ton of hands. Give PokerStars a try if you have not already done so. La adrenalina al estar en una mano, la seriedad de tu oponente. Se mueven las fichas al centro, y tú llamas. ¡Ganaste! Descargar PokerStars te llevará al mundo del póquer, el mejor póquer a cualquier hora.

In a previous entry I discussed poker tools that are able to help improve your game as you strive to become a good player on Mac poker sites. The first tool I suggested was the online poker dictionary, and I explained that it’ll be challenging to read advanced strategies if you don’t know the most important poker terminology. However, the one problem with a poker dictionary is that you’ll see so many words that you’ll wonder where to begin! Because of this, I am going to mention a few of the poker terms that I deem most important for someone learning on an Everest Poker download (or whatever site you decide to play on). Learn these terms first as they’re common and most likely to pop up when you start reading poker literature.

Actually the most important terms were already mentioned in earlier entries, so visit my previous articles to remind yourself of them. ”Bankroll management” and “variance” are, without a doubt, some of the most important terms in poker. When you’re learning to play on your poker flash website, you might endure a lengthy downswing. You need a suitable bankroll just in case the worst happens.

It would be good to next learn about the “rake”. The rake is the amount taken from every pot or prize pool by whomever is hosting your poker game. So for example, if you use a Full Tilt Poker download and play some no-limit hold em, each pot will end up around 5% less because Full Tilt will collect it as their payment. Each site or casino has their own rake percentage, and there is a maximum amount that will be taken for each pot.

Another term to know about is “position”. We’ve already talked about the strength of your starting hands in the poker hands order entry, but we didn’t mention the importance of position. The person last to act post flop in every pot has the best position, and good position is as important for winning pots as the strength of your cards. You should be more willing to play hands in position and less willing to play hands out of position. When you play Internet slots, you don’t have to pay attention to where other people are playing. It’s a different situation when you are playing poker versus other people, however.

You should look for the term “outs” in a suitable online poker dictionary before visiting any flash Texas Holdem site. If you’re playing in a pot and you feel you don’t have the best hand, you should take note of the cards that could come on later streets that likely would improve your cards to the winner. These cards are what you call your “outs”.

Learn about “fold equity”. When you’re trying to win a pot, you need to take into account that there is a chance your opponent will fold if you bet. This is called fold equity, and it is very useful in poker because it’s a way to win pots without necessarily having the best hand. If you ever watch high stakes being played on a PokerStars download, you’ll learn that the most profitable players make use of this idea very often.

When reading online poker articles, you’ll probably come across the term “nit”. A nit describes a player that plays a very limited number of hands and is afraid to gamble without the best of it. He is unlikely to invest a lot of money in a hand where he is unlikely to be ahead.

For the final bit of free poker training in this article, I’ll tell you about the term “all-in”. Common in tournament poker, going all-in means that you are betting everything in your stack and in order to call, your opponents must go all-in themselves or put an amount equal to your stack in the pot. If you receive a call and lose the showdown, you are often bust and you must re-buy (if the game permits it) or stop playing.

When I am back next time, I will go through the dictionary and choose more terms to look at. In the meantime, study these terms carefully and see if you can find some strategy articles that use them. Be sure to come back in a couple weeks for my next article.
