Important Poker Terms 4

Nice to see you again! Today I will list more terms that will come up as you work to win money in casinos for USA players. I must admit that I am having fun going in order according to the alphabet. If nothing else it prevents me from sitting here for minutes on end trying to decide between all the poker terms in the dictionary.

I chose ICM for the letter “I”, which stands for Independent Chip Model. If you enjoy SnGs on Tiger Gaming, ICM is incredibly important. It basically gives tournament chips a cash value so that you can make the right decision when someone is all-in.

The letter J does not have a lot of variety when it comes to poker terms, so I will just quickly define “jam”. If you find a good poker video and the instructor says he likes a jam, he is saying that he likes going all-in. You can use it in place of “shove” or “push”.

I picked “kill” for the letter K. If you decide to play live poker instead of Craps online one night, one of your options will probably be a kill game. When someone wins two pots in a row, they are required to pay an extra blind the next hand. A half kill requires just 1.5 times the big blind while a full kill is 2 times the big blind. Passive players that lose a lot of money on US poker sites might like kill tables because they have the ability to stifle hyper-aggression.

When someone calls, raises, or bets “light”, they are representing a much stronger hand than the one they actually have. Imagine that you are on your Bwin Poker download and you get dealt 92 in the small blind. A person with a high steal percentage raises on the cut-off, and you decide to 3-bet because you assume he is weak a large percentage of the time. He is probably raising light in late position, and you are 3-betting light from your position. These spots are common on money poker sites.

We have gone through another four terms just now, so that is it for today. In a few weeks I will get started again with the letter M. This gives you plenty of time to practice your game.
