Everywhere it seems the physical table is being ditched for the digital, and as players flock to online poker rooms for the excitement and convenience they offer, the community grows.
Now poker, like many online communities in order to differentiate and define themselves, over time develop much of their own terminology and traditions. While most sports and games all have a multitude of strange terms that players and fans pick up on, poker in this bloggers opinion may just trump the pack. Even seasoned players will likely be left scratching their heads by such terms as a pig, paint or runt.
‘….the players in this house! They keep forcing me to knock, rather than straddle this street. The walking sticks I’m holding aren’t enough to trump the bullets the dealer is packing or the trip knaves that the big blind has used to open every street.’
…and yes, im still talking poker.
