The linguistics of Poker05.05.09

Pocket Aces GemacoProfessionalism is praised and appreciated in every sphere of life. So why not be professional when playing a game of poker too. It is imperative to know that poker is a game of gambling and has a separate lingo which players use over the table, for instance the lingo “tapped out” means that you have lost all the money. The game of poker is played with a deck of 52 cards and features 4 suits namely diamond, club, spades, and hearts.

While playing on a poker table every player has his/her different sign language to describe their partner the ‘hand’ on which they are playing. Hand basically means the cards which that player holds during the game. Right after the deal one declares his combination as “ace low” or “ace high” depending upon the number of aces you got after the deal. An “ace full” means that you have a full house containing of aces.

Joe Hachem turns the joint, QQ guy POW05.05.09

Pay Off Wizard!

Joe Hachem would never minraise there unless he had it. Plus, why did that guy smoothcall pre-flop? I know he’s scared to go out on the last hand — but his play it to re-raise hard there and take that hand down — no way AK would have pushed either for the same reason. Pocket Queens should have won a small pot there, that’s it.

He just gets punished for his bad play pre-flop, that’s it. Good thing for him he didn’t push on the flop, that would’ve been the TRUE killer play. ;-)

Seven Deuce Off SuitA pair of aces may be the strongest hand in poker but there is more to poker that you need to know. You have to be familiar with the worst hands that are most likely always folding hands.

Here are some of the worst hands in poker:

2-7

This is the worst that there can be in Texas Hold’em. Sometimes it is known as the hammer for those who play online poker. These two cards cannot make a straight with about four cards in between. Do not ever ever play Seven Deuce, even with a bounty – it’ll lose you money!

Welcome to my tight poker site03.26.09

My site is so TIGHT, and so is my poker. I’m not the kind of guy to call a re-raise with Jack Seven Off Suit because I think I can flop the second nut straight — I’m the kind of guy to hold the Aces when you’re in there with your King Queen, flopping top pair and going broke against me.

I don’t mind folding 30 hands if in hand number 31 we get our stacks in with Sven (that’s me ;) ) being a 7 to 1 favorite. That’s why I’m a professional playing medium-limit poker, and you’ve been spewing ever since you first sat down at a poker table.

On this site, I’ll be preaching my game. Not because I want to teach everyone — but because I want to teach those WILLING to learn. That’s it basicly. If you’re not ready to fold Ace Jack under the gun – don’t bookmark this site. If you’re ready to make a couple million playing poker — make sure you do!

Welcome!
