For the third and final installment of this series, we are just going to take a look at some of the most used but most potentially confusing poker terms used in the game.
All-In: this is when you put all of your chips into the pot. A lot of players loudly announce it so as to seem unaffected and cool. It does not work. Don’t do it.
Back Door: not what you’re thinking. This term actually applies to any hand that you made during the Turn or the River. Donks, or even DITs — donks in training — usually make these hands.
Which brings us to — Donks: diminutive of “donkey.” Refers to a player who is blatantly bad and/or weak.
Big Slick: used in Texas Hold ‘Em most often; refers to any hole cards of A through K, whether they are of the same suit or not.
