-
- action
-
- A player's turn to act.
- A bet, as well as all the calls of that bet.
E.g., a player makes a $10 bet, and two other players call,
he has $10 action in the pot and received $20 worth of action
from the other players.
-
- action button
- A marker on which a player places an extra forced
bet. In a typical stud game, a player is required to post an
amount representing a completion of the bring-in to a full bet.
E.g., in a game with a $1 bring-in and $2 and $4 betting limits,
the player with the action button must post $2
-
- action player
- Less talented player who bets and calls with inferior
hands.
-
- add-on
- Buying more chips before you bust. In tournament
play it is a single rebuy that all the players are allowed regardless
of their stack size. This is usually allowed only once, at the
end of the rebuy period.
-
- advertising
- Making obvious plays or exposing cards in an attempt
to give a certain impression of yourself to your opponents.
E.g., only showing good hands so that they believe that you
rarely bluff, and therefore fold to you.
-
- aggressive
- A player who bets and raises often. See also passive,
tight, loose
-
- all in
- Betting your entire chip stack.
-
- angle
- Unethical - but technically legal - play, such
as deliberately miscalling a hand to induce a fold or adding
odd numbers of chips to the pot to confuse opponents about whether
you're calling or raising.
- ante
- A forced bet posted before any cards are dealt.
- ante off
- Used in tournament play, this is forcing an absent
player's antes, blinds and other forced bets even while they're
gone to ensure it's still fair for the remaining players.
