    Poker Glossary — 60 Terms Every Player Should Know

    Table basics

    The words you hear in every hand:

    • Blinds — forced bets posted by the two players left of the button.
    • Button — the dealer position, acting last after the flop.
    • Flop / Turn / River — the three, then fourth, then fifth community cards.
    • Check, Bet, Call, Raise, Fold — the five actions.
    • All-in — betting every chip you have.

    Strategy vocabulary

    Terms used in strategy articles:

    • Position — where you sit relative to the button; later is better.
    • Range — all hands a player could hold in a spot.
    • Kicker — the side card that breaks ties.
    • Equity — your share of the pot if all cards were dealt now.
    • Pot odds — the price you get to call compared with the pot.
    • C-bet — a continuation bet by the pre-flop raiser.
    • ICM — tournament model converting chips into prize value.
