Key Poker Phrases Version 5
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.
