 Poker is a very interesting game and quite easy to understand and the player with the highest card of 5 scores wins, it's said to be more easier than chess game and the more you play the more skillful you get when you understand the rules and it's terminologies, there are many here that might love poker game, you can drop more poker terms if you know any.
You'll notice that most poker terms are related with military terms however some experts might think it was originated from the military, though i dont take that as a fact
I thought i know enough about poker and i knew like only 14 of those, so thanks i guess. But is a fist bump really a poker term? Or related to poker at all? I never seen people do that in live games that i participated in before pandemia. Or maybe i didn't pay enough attention as i sometimes do that in other occasions.

But few of those are handy to know and i feed odd that i've never paid any attention to those words. It's like i never heard anyone said them. Are those really all used often?

All this is very interesting, I also thought I knew a lot of things, but there are some terms that I had not even seen, or perhaps I had seen them but they did not know that they had that meaning, however I think that poker has become so popular worldwide that all these types of words are generated, I don't know if some are logisms or things that are very native to a country in particular, such as the USA, however it is good to handle that jargon, so as not to suffer penalties in a tournament, or lose because of those words, for example as far as I am concerned, they are things that must be learned quickly so that you do not have to go through bad experiences, it has happened to me that sometimes because I do not understand some meanings of l' words I have made a mistake in something that I should not have, and practically that becomes a loss of money.

In poker, anything that is informational must be taken advantage of, in tournaments or in any PVP game that information is very important, as long as things can be done to advance or have some type of action required to gain an advantage, it must be known, in things can go very well in poker when you know a lot of things, the more you know, the more courses and more experience you have, the more you will grow in poker, and well, taking into account all this things in poker you can look for more that good luck, because in poker not everything is knowledge but it also has a lot to do with the experience you have in the games, I know many friends who play quite a lot, not in online tournaments, without going to play since college at the ims university, and they had a lot of experience, this is something that each one learns to know and according to what has happened and they have lived when they enter a casino, it is something else, they master the istem very well because they apply their knowledge and of course some They already have intuition and the more training they have with others, the more they learn.
