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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><span id="more-15"></span>A game is “in action” when two or more players are bidding on their game be it “checking”, “betting” or “raising”. “All in” means that you are betting everything you have and if you are overplaying your total assets then you are known as “”broomcorn uncle” over the table. Each poker game requires “a buy-in” which is the small amount of money you need to invest to start the game and after this depending upon the cards dealt to you, you can always <a href="http://www.raisethestakespoker.com/">“raise” your bet</a>.</p>
<p>Thus the next time you go for a game of poker showcasing professionalism by following the linguistics of poker can help you stand apart from the million of players.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pay Off Wizard!</p>
<p><a href="http://joehachemfan.com/">Joe Hachem</a> would never minraise there unless he had it. Plus, why did that guy smoothcall pre-flop? I know he&#8217;s scared to go out on the last hand &#8212; but his play it to re-raise hard there and take that hand down &#8212; no way AK would have pushed either for the same reason. Pocket Queens should have won a small pot there, that&#8217;s it.</p>

<p>He just gets punished for his bad play pre-flop, that&#8217;s it. Good thing for him he didn&#8217;t push on the flop, that would&#8217;ve been the TRUE killer play. <img src='http://www.svenstightpokertips.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9" title="Seven Deuce Off Suit" src="http://www.svenstightpokertips.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/seven-deuce-off-suit-300x225.jpg" alt="Seven Deuce Off Suit" width="223" height="167" />A 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.</p>
<p>Knowing which hands to play and which hands to fold will help you not to be tagged as a donkey on the table.</p>
<p>Here are some of the worst hands in poker:</p>
<h3>2-7</h3>
<p>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 <a href="http://sevendeucepoker.info/">Seven Deuce</a>, even with a bounty &#8211; it&#8217;ll lose you money!</p>
<p><span id="more-8"></span></p>
<h3>2-8</h3>
<p>It is the same problem posted for the 2-7 combination. The 8 is still a pretty bad card to have for a high card. Still no straights in the picture.</p>
<h3>3-8, 3-7</h3>
<p>These hands are a bit better than the two above because of the 3. If you have them, your world still sucks.</p>
<h3>2-6</h3>
<p>Good times if the flop will give you a 3,4,5 so you can have a straight. You can get a higher straight with a 7. You can get a flush but the odds will be against you. Ninety per cent of the time, fold.</p>
<h3>2-9, 3-9, 4-9</h3>
<p>You got a 9 and that is a better hand than the 6. If you end up with a 9 pair there is still a high chance of someone getting a pocket 10, J, Q, K, or A’s.</p>
<p>There are still some bad starting cards to know and we will be tackling them in future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My site is so TIGHT, and so is my poker. I&#8217;m not the kind of guy to call a re-raise with <a href="http://www.jacksevenoffsuit.com/">Jack Seven Off Suit</a> because I think I can flop the second nut straight &#8212; I&#8217;m the kind of guy to hold the Aces when you&#8217;re in there with your King Queen, flopping top pair and going broke against me.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t mind folding 30 hands if in hand number 31 we get our stacks in with Sven (that&#8217;s me <img src='http://www.svenstightpokertips.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) being a 7 to 1 favorite. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m a professional playing medium-limit poker, and you&#8217;ve been spewing ever since you first sat down at a poker table.</p>
<p>On this site, I&#8217;ll be preaching my game. Not because I want to teach everyone &#8212; but because I want to teach those WILLING to learn. That&#8217;s it basicly. If you&#8217;re not ready to fold Ace Jack under the gun &#8211; don&#8217;t bookmark this site. If you&#8217;re ready to make a couple million playing poker &#8212; make sure you do!</p>
<p>Welcome!</p>
