Learn online poker terminology and sound like a pro

For any Canadian poker fan wanting to make their way in the game, or even for those who just want to impress their friends, a keen knowledge of the key terms is a great help.

But don't be too hard on anyone guilty of a misdeal, all that needs to happen in this case is a redeal of the cards. So it's no biggie.

If you are getting to grips with things well, you might find yourself in a position to match the pot, which means you can plough in as many chips as are already in the pot. You wouldn't want to do this unless you had some serious faith in your hand.

And don't get too edgy if it turns into a multi-way pot, where several players will battle it out with a serious chance of claiming the chips.

Most of you will be familiar with no-limit poker, which allows players to wager as little or as much as they like on a single bet, but this isn't likely to tempt a nit, as this is how those in the poker world describe someone unwilling to take any risks.

Meanwhile, an overbet happens in a no limit game when a player bets more than the size of the pot, while being the first person in the pot preflop, without raising, is known as an open limp.

An overcard is a community card with a higher rank than a player's pocket pair, and an orbit is a full rotation of blinds equal to the number of people at a table.

Finally, an out is any unseen card that, if drawn, will improve a player's hand to one that is likely to win. Knowing the number of outs a player has is an important part of poker strategy.
