Poker is a popular card game with its own unique vocabulary. Understanding common poker terms is essential for both beginners and experienced players. Here are some fundamental poker terms every player should know.
Blinds are forced bets that players must place before cards are dealt. The player immediately to the left of the dealer posts the small blind, and the next player posts the big blind. These bets ensure there is money to play for in each hand.
The flop, turn, and river are community cards dealt face up in the middle of the table. The flop consists of three cards, followed by the turn （one card）, and finally the river （one card）. Players use these cards in combination with their hole cards to make the best possible hand.
A check means passing the action to the next player without betting. A bet involves placing money into the pot. A raise means increasing the previous bet, while a call matches the current bet. A fold means discarding your hand and forfeiting the current pot.
An all-in occurs when a player bets all of their remaining chips. A showdown happens when players reveal their hands after the final betting round to determine the winner. The player with the best five-card hand wins the pot. |
