| A-F | Online Titan Poker - Glossary A-FAll-in
If you run out of chips during a hand, but don't wish to fold, you are All-in.
This means you have the potential to win a share of the pot up to and including your last contribution to that pot.
You cannot share in any bets added beyond that point.
These bets form a side-pot. The all-in is also used for situations where a player in a hand loses connection to the server.
Away-from-table
In tournaments, you may not "sit out". Rather, you may be "away-from-table" which means you are dealt into every hand, posting blinds when it's your turn, and then folded when there is a raise before the flop, or a bet after the flop.
When you are in a tournament and need to leave, time-out, or lose your connection, you are automatically marked as "away-from-table".
Bet the Pot
This term is used in pot limit games.
It means your bet matches the current amount in the pot.
If, when your turn to bet, the pot was at $ญญญญญญญญ232, and you bet the pot, your bet is $ญญญญญญญญ232.
Big Blind
In games using a blind to put money in play, the big blind is generally equal to the lower amount of the stakes for that game.
In a $ญญญญญญญญ5/$ญญญญญญญญ10 game, the big blind is $ญญญญญญญญ5.
The big blind follows the small blind, which is put up by the first player to the left of the dealer.
Blind
This term refers to the required bets, called the small blind and the big blind used to put money into play. The blinds are mandatory bets and rotate around the table.
Burn
In physical poker rooms, the top card of the deck is discarded prior to each round of dealing.
The intent is to minimize the risk of cheating by knowing the next card.
There is no possibility of this happening in our poker room, therefore we do not burn cards.
Button
A marker, usually disk-shaped, to indicate which player is the virtual dealer.
The button is used in games where position relative to the dealer is important.
Buy-in
The amount of money you sit down in a game with.
Call
When a player matches the prior bet on the table, that action is termed the call.
Cap
The last permitted raise in a betting round is called the cap.
We allow three raises beyond the initial bet in limit games.
The third raise is the cap.
Check
If there is no bet on the table and you do not wish to place a bet, that action is termed a check.
You may only check when there are no prior bets.
Client
The term for the software that you download to your computer, allowing you to interact with the poker room's servers.
Dead Blind
In a situation where you have missed your blinds and wish to re-enter the game before your turn to post the big blind.
You must post both blinds and the small blind is termed a dead blind, meaning it does not count towards calling a bet.
Dead Hand
A hand no longer in the game.
Down Cards
The face-down cards dealt to a player, also termed hole cards.
Drawing Dead
This describes the situation when a player is trying to draw a card to complete a hand when there is already a hand that will beat it, even if made.
Drop
To drop your hand when you decide not to go further with your hand; to return your cards to the muck.
Same as fold.
Face Down
Dealt cards that are not visible to other players.
Face Up
Dealt cards that are visible to all players.
Flop
In Texas Hold'em, the set of 3 face-up community cards or the first three cards on the board, all dealt at the same time.
Flush
Any 5 cards in one hand that are all the same suit.
Fold
Withdraw from further participation in the current hand. Also see drop.
Forced Bet
A mandatory bet. In certain games, a player is required to bet, having sat-in the game.
Four of a Kind
A great hand ... all 4 of one rank. For example, 4 aces.
Freeroll
This term applies to poker tournaments where the entry fee, the stakes, or both the entry fee and stakes are waived. In some non-freeroll tournaments, the house may guarantee a minimum prize pool.
Full House
A hand in which you have a combination of 3 of a kind, and a pair.
