Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
heads up:
heads up: Competing against a single opponent. heater: A continuous winning streak, a run of very good hands. I J K kicker: A side card in a poker hand. In Texas Hold’em, when holding an Ace and a second card, the second card is often called a “kicker.”
lock:
lock: In poker, an unbeatable hand, a hand that can’t lose. limp: (1) To call a bet, or (2) to play reluctantly. limp-in: To call a show-down bet reluctantly, knowing you are most likely beaten by a higher ranking poker hand.
