Poker gaming industry well known personality Justin Kuraitis defined various useful terms that are very helpful for Poker Players i.e In “draw” games, the players may decide to trade in some of their cards (generally up to 3) in an effort to improve their hand.
In “community card” games, the players are dealt “hole cards” face down (cards that are uniquely theirs) then play off the community cards to make their best hand. What makes them “community cards?” The other players at the table also may play off them.
In “stud” games, players are dealt a number of cards (typically 5 or 7) and must use those original cards to make their best hand.
Ante – the minimum amount you must gamble to get into the action of the game.
Blinds – money (generally in chip form) put on the table before the cards are dealt; there are typically two blinds (called the “small” and the “big”) and ensure money is being wagered with each hand; blinds rotate from player to player with each new deal.
Call – when a new wager has been placed, a “call” indicates that player’s willingness to match the raised amount.
Check – if no new wager has been made and the player doesn’t wish to raise, they may “check”.
Raise – the player wishes to increase the table bet.
