Poker Terms Trivia....

[rookette22]

Ok so I've been studying up on my Poker Terms and their meanings so that I'll better understand what the hell you guys are talking about when you're limping around... lol

I need you all to give me your best ones, & I'll try my best to give you the meaning of them to see if I fully understand them; maybe you can help me out if I'm wrong

As for the first one; I'll start with ...what I am at the present; Don't wanna be a "Shark" if I don't even know the meaning of it...so here it goes; tell me if I'm wrong about it.

Ok I'm no shark in Poker.... but I'm one on here cus I post lots...

SHARK: a good player who usually wins. A shark usually plays with a lot of n00bs (fish) & is only interested in winning money.

Ok so now I need you all to help me out and give me some more Poker terms so I can see if I understand them. thx

Limping: Say you're playing 10 handed NLHE. Small and Big blind post and the first player just calls the big blind (no raise). That's "limping" into a pot.

[PShabi]

Okay. Quiz-Question 1: Define "cold-call."

[Hawt]

Quiz Question #2

Define: big bet

[Reel Deal]

Quiz question #4...

Define: "swaness"

[Talking Poker]

This is by no means complete, but it's a good start for those that don't know common poker terms:

[Hawt]

???? I don't see it on TP's list???

[PShabi]

God damn, you academic types. That's like asking someone the meaning of life, RD.

[jaeh00d]

player #1 bets, player #2 raises and player #3 calls two bets both the original bet and the raise??? is that right?>

watch out for that player

[Reel Deal]

Yeah, that might have been a bit too tough for this type of quiz. But I would like to see some of the answers we could come up with

[drewjax]

lololol

[drewjax]

Define CUTOFF.

[PShabi]

yes.

And if it's done in a 6-max limit game, I don't "watch out" for that player. I add him to my buddy list.

[Talking Poker]

The person who acts before the button.

Question:

What is the correct definition of a bad beat according to Phil Hellmuth. (Besides any hand that he loses too)

Come on you WSOP TV watchers you can do it!

[drewjax]

not you meathead, lol. If you didnt know what the cutoff was then I would be worried.

[Talking Poker]

Are we quizzing? I thought people were asking question they don't know the answers to. My bad. Seems kinda silly to ask questions that you already know the answer to though, doesn't it? I mean, unless someone is putting up prize money for correct answers or something (and no, I am not).

[drewjax]

??

I thought the OP was asking others to post quiz questions that they could try to answer.

[Talking Poker]

Well, I don't really think it matters any more, now that she's left the forum and all.

[drewjax]

that was quick, did she bleed you for anything lolol......

[Zybomb]

did i miss something?

[Talking Poker]

Um, apparently so. HOW you could have missed it, I don't know, but here ya go:

And you call yourself a moderator.

[Zybomb]

I viewed that thread but after the first few responses I don't think I reopened it (like the $50 dollar contest thread which I refuse to open ever again! ) ... apparently I missed all the dramam tho

[helmuths henchman]

A bad beat is when you were ahead preflop but ended up losing the hand correct?

[Talking Poker]

Not IMO. It's based on when the money goes in, not the preflop cards.

But I have no idea what Hellmuth's definition would be. I'm guessing any hand he loses where he had the lead at ANY TIME during the hand would be a bad beat in his eyes.
