Message: [QUOTE="daredeviljo, post: 2539951, member: 80069"] Here are some poker terms: Board: All the community cards in a hold'em game - the flop, turn, and river cards together. Example: "There wasn't a single heart on the board." Crack: To beat a hand - typically a big hand. You hear this most often applied to pocket aces: "Third time tonight I've had pocket aces cracked." Inside Straight Draw: Seeking one specific card value to make a straight. For instance, a player holding 9-5 with a board of 2-7-6 can make a straight with any 8. This is also known as a gutshot straight draw. Nuts The best possible hand given the board. If the board is K-J-T-4-2, then A-X is the nuts. You will occasionally hear the term applied to the best possible hand of a certain category, even though it isn't the overall nuts. For the above example, somebody with A-Qmight say they had the "nut straight", which is the best possible straight in that certain situation. Overpair: A pocket pair higher than any card on the flop. If you have QQ and the flop comes J-8-3, you have an overpair. Rag: A card or board that is weak or does not help your hand. Example: Hand: A 3 (you have A-rag - Ace and a weak card). Also, rag (rag flop) can mean a flop, turn, or river that probably does not effect the hand. Example: Flop: K-J-9 rainbow-all different suits. Turn: 2. Chances are that this card does not effect the hand, as no new draws, or strong pairs are put into effect by this card. Second Pair: A pair with the second highest card on the flop. If you have A-T, and the flop comes K-T-6 , you have flopped second pair. Top, Second, and Bottom pair in this situation: Top Pair: Pair of Kings. Second Pair: Pair of 10s. Bottom Pair: Pair of 6s. Set: A set is when you have pockets (two of the same cards in your hole cards), and the same card appears on the board. Example: Hand: 4-4. Flop: K-5-2. Turn: 4. River: J. Your hand is 44, and a 4 appeared on the turn. This is a set. Value Bet: As in "bet for value." This means that you would actually like your opponents to call your bet (as opposed to a bluff). When value betting, you believe that you have the best hand. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these definitions, please ask as many questions as you'd like. Also, if you want to know any more or specific terms, please post it in this topic or message me on CC by Private Message. Thank you! Have a great day, and many more. [/QUOTE]
