Learn Poker Jargon
Wed, 10/22/2008 - 11:26Blinds - The blinds are forced bets that take the place of antes in Texas Holdem. There's a small blind and a big blind. Usually, the small blind is half the size of the big blind nad everyone else at the table is required to at least match the big blind in order to play the hand.
Freeroll - A freeroll is a poker tournament that does not have an entrance fee. Poker Freerolls typically are played online as a form of entertainment.
Draw - A draw is after the flop, when you need one more card to complete a straight or flush, and you are hoping to get that card on the turn or river.
Limit Poker - This is when the poker game you are in has fixed size bets. you can't go all in in this game unless you have less than the fixed amount.
Outs - Outs are cards that are remaining in the deck that will win you the hand.
Position - Position is where you sit at the table relative to the dealer. The dealer is generally considered to be the best position at the table.
