The Archive - April Gambling-Word-Chain CONTEST - WINNER ANNOUNCED! PokerGuru - 12.04.2009, 03:26 Post subject: April Gambling-Word-Chain CONTEST - WINNER ANNOUNCED!Hello, golden PCers ---
This contest is suggested by Paula who said, "My suggestion for a contest is gambling terms. You would start out going alpabetically, for example is someone started by saying "All-in" which started with an "A", the next person would have to say something that started with a "B", for example "bluff". " And so on to c, then d, etc.
This contest is worth $30 to the winner and I am asking EVERY PCer to PLEASE enter OFTEN ..... like as many times as you can possibly think of another word (GAMBLING words). In return, I will do the extra work of putting your name in the box for every new word you enter!!! That way, those who try the hardest should have the best chances of winning!
RULES:
You must have 3000 earned PC points to redeem for a $30 cash prize. If you come up short, you will receive 3000 PC points instead of cash, so you will have them next time!
You must have informed us of how you wish to be paid, by filling out the form titled "My Payment Method", found at the top of every page.
Winner(s) will be determined by the use of a blind drawing box, into which names of participants will be placed. The box has a built-in stirrer which mixes the names and a built-in propellant which shoots out the name(s) of the winner(s). Yes. I, Guru, am the architect of this super-fair contraption, which I call The Winners Box.
You must post your words below.
Deadline is the last day of the month at midnight.
Now, who is going to start off?crzynana2001 - 12.04.2009, 03:36 Post subject:

value bet
A bet made by a player who wants it to be called (as opposed to a bluff or protection bet). This is typically because he has a superior hand that he expects to win at showdown, or a very good draw for which he can increase his pot equity by more than the amount of his bet

Implied Odds
Pot odds that do not exist at the moment, but may be included in your calculations because of bets you expect to win if you hit your hand. For instance, you might call with a flush draw on the turn even though the pot isn't offering you quite 4:1 odds (your chance of making the flush) because you're sure you can win a bet from your opponent on the river if you make your flush.

slow roll< To delay or avoid showing one's hand at showdown, forcing other players to expose their hands first. When done while holding a good hand likely to be the winner, it is considered poor etiquette, because it often gives other players "false hope" that their hands might win before the slow-roller's is exposed.

Up/down slot cycle < Slot machines are mandated to pay out a certain percentage over an extended period (often a year). The percentage will not remain constant throughout that year, though, so an up cycle is when the machine is paying out larger than the average percentage and a down cycle is paying out less than the average percentage.

Rabbit [Poker]<<<1) A weak player. 2) Short for after the rabbit or follow the rabbit. A form of draw, usually lowball, in which a player gets a bonus from the other players for winning two pots in a row. For example, in a $4-to-go no-limit lowball game, each player puts up $20, which goes into a kitty. Whoever wins the two pots in a row gets the kitty. This tends to stimulate action, because when a player wins a pot, she is likely to loosen her requirements for the next pot to try to get the kitty. She may kill the next pot to try to increase her chances of winning the next pot and to keep out the two-card draws.

Tab Card [Poker]<<<A credit account available in some clubs to favored customers (generally those on whom a credit check has been run), to which a player can charge chips to play on. This is a convenient means for a player to get around the difficulty of carrying large amounts of cash on his person. The tab card is usually kept track of on a ledger card with transactions initialed by the player or a house official or both. The cashier is usually responsible for keeping the records straight. In most clubs, a player is supposed to leave a check for the amount charged at the end of a playing session if he does not cash in as much as he charged. Frequently a player with charging privileges does so against a blank, signed check. If he loses, he fills out the check for the proper amount; if he wins, the blank check remains attached to his tab card, to be used the next time. When such a player calls for chips at the table, he usually fills out a charge slip, called a ticket, for the amount requested.

Often called E.O. 3) Leaving a shift early because there is not enough business to support all the dealers. The shift boss may say, "Who wants early out?" A dealer who wants to go play (cards) may volunteer.

Waiting in the Weeds - The place where sneaky poker players lie in wait, usually accompanied by powerhouse hands they have sandbagged, or otherwise slow-played, to trap unwary aggressive players; often part of the phrase waiting in the weeds or lying in the weeds. For example, in a high draw game, you raised before the draw with three aces. Among the several callers, the first man took three cards and passed after the draw. Everyone else passed. You did not improve your hand, but three aces is worth a bet after the draw, so you bet. The three-card draw now raises. The others fold. You call. He shows his full house.

Rabbit [Poker]<<<<<) A weak player. 2) Short for after the rabbit or follow the rabbit. A form of draw, usually lowball, in which a player gets a bonus from the other players for winning two pots in a row. For example, in a $4-to-go no-limit lowball game, each player puts up $20, which goes into a kitty. Whoever wins the two pots in a row gets the kitty. This tends to stimulate action, because when a player wins a pot, she is likely to loosen her requirements for the next pot to try to get the kitty. She may kill the next pot to try to increase her chances of winning the next pot and to keep out the two-card draws

Advertise [Poker]<<<<<<To make a bluff with the deliberate intention of being exposed as a loose player. Advertising usually means showing down a mediocre hand, to give the impression that you play overly loose or that you play a generally weak game. The idea is that other players will then give you more action when you make a legitimate hand. Since people are bad at revising first impressions, this potentially beneficial effect can be long-lasting. Typical advertising plays in hold'em might be to show down top pair with a weak kicker (e.g., K2), middle pair, or a gut shot draw that missed. These hands have marginal intrinsic value, but playing them early in a session might pay off later. Of course, it's best to advertise if you actually want to be called down more often, e.g., at an especially tight table. At a table full of calling stations, it might be unnecessary or even harmful. Advertising can also mean anything you do at the poker table to manipulate how other players assess you.

Early Bet [Poker]<<<<The first bet in a stud game, often set artificially low, that is, lower than the normal betting limits for the game, and often a forced bet, one made by, for example, in seven-card stud, the lowest face-up card showing. In a $2-$4 game, the lowest face-up card on the first round (at the point that two face-down cards and one face-up card have been dealt) might be required to make a 50-cent early bet. Sometimes called bring-in bet.

Keep it or Shove it [Poker]<<<<<A form of five-card stud, found only in home games, a high-low game in which, after each player has been dealt one down card, each player gets a choice, in order, on each succeeding card. When each player has one down card, there is a betting round. The dealer then offers a card off the deck to the first player. If the player wants that card, he keeps it. If he does not want it, he immediately gets the next card off the deck, and the first card is offered to the second player, who has the same options. He can take the card, or immediately get the next card off the deck, in which case that card is offered to the third player, and so on. This continues until everyone has one up card, at which point there is a second round of betting. Any card that goes all the way around the table without stopping at anyone, including the dealer, becomes dead. After the betting has been equalized, the operation starts all over, with a card being offered in turn to each player. After each time of each player having the same number of up cards another round of betting comes. After each player has four up cards, each player has the opportunity of replacing an up card with an up card, or the down card with another down card (the twist), followed again, of course, by another round of betting, and then a declaration, and then the determination of the two winners. This game is sometimes called take it or leave it, shove 'em along, or push. It is also sometimes called pass the trash, although that name is more often reserved for Anaconda.

Match Lights [Poker]<<<<In a home game, a situation that comes up when a player is light (Short of the complete bet. "He's light by $20." Also called shy.). In some home games, not played for table stakes, when a player does not have enough chips to continue betting in a pot, that player withdraws chips from the pot equal to the amount of the betting beyond his chips, (usually) stacking them neatly in front of him. These are called lights. (To so withdraw chips is called go light.) At the end of the hand, if the player does not win the pot, he buys enough chips to cover his lights. He then matches his lights, that is, puts the lights into the pot plus an equivalent amount of chips from the ones he has just bought.

Scare Card [Poker]<<<<1) A card that when it appears makes a better hand more likely. 2) In hold'em, a third suited card on the river is a scare card, because it makes a flush possible. If you're pretty sure your opponent paired a king on the flop, an ace on the turn is a scare card. Scare cards will often make it difficult for the best hand to bet, and offer an opportunity for bluffing. Obviously such cards are scarier in pot-limit or no-limit games.

Tell
"A tell in poker is a subtle but detectable change in a player's behavior or demeanor that gives clues to that player's assessment of his hand. A player gains an advantage if he observes and understands the meaning of another player's tell, particularly if the tell is unconscious and reliable. Sometimes a player may fake a tell, hoping to induce his opponents to make poor judgments in response to the false tell." (Wikipedia!)

Hedge
– The act of placing a second bet, the opposite of your first, in order to assure profit no matter the outcome of the sporting event. For instance, if you had the Cardinals to win the Super Bowl for $100 at 50-1 odds but were not convinced they were going to win, you would “hedge” by placing a large amount on the Steelers on the money line to assure yourself a profit. In this example, if the Cardinals win you win $50,000 so you would want to place something like $25,000 on the Steelers to win the game to assure yourself a large profit.
(IMO, if you're that unsure of your bet, why not bet on something else that you are more sure of? This will always reduce your profits if you win your primary bet, but it does ensure you'll not end up with nothing if you lose it.)

Inside Wrap [Poker]<<<<In Omaha, a situation in which your four downwards consist of three cards each separated by one rank, which combine with two cards of the flop to form five consecutive cards, so that many cards on the turn or river give you a straight.
