Flaco's Poker Theasaurus

I know for some people many poker terms are hard to understand. I am a self proclaimed simple minded man, so I decided to take some of these terms and explain them in a simple way.

Being Stuck: This is another term for being down in money. Example Jake is a dumb ass who keeps reaching into his little money bag like a crack addict. $20 after $20!

Being on the come: this term means you are betting or staying in a hand hoping to improve your hand with the cards to come out next. Example: calling bets with a flush draw hoping to hit on the river. Example 2: your a dumbass card chaser!!

Going South: this term means taking cash or chips off the table, but still playing at the table. Example: you buyin for $100 you double up too $200 so you decide to put $100 in your pocket and play on profit only. Example 2: your a rude greedy dumbass!

Implied odds: this term means making a decision to play a hand by calculating how much money you will have to pay in the course of the hand. Example: a short stack raises you hold 89 suited. You have to calculate before calling if its worth playing the hand because he will most likely be all in before the end of the hand. Example 2: you a dumbass who plays 89 suited.

Pot Odds: this means calculating the amount in the pot and the amount of money it takes to call. Example: there's twenty blue chips in the pot pre flop and it only cost you 2 or 4 to call you gettin good pot odds. Example 2: your getting 5 to 1 on your money so you call down to the river with 83 offsuit and hit yo straight. This type of move is made by a d.d.p.o.c. Which means dumbass donkey pot odds caller! Example of ddpoc: GoodChuck!!

I'm just kidding pop. I'm just razzing ya. Your not a ddpoc, cause sometimes when you call your not getting good pot odds. I love ya!

Keeping It Skinny,
FlacoJake
