Bankroll Management

Nice to see you again! Today I will define more terms that will help you to beat the games in casinos for USA players. I have to say that I am really liking this alphabetical theme a lot. At the very least it prevents me from sitting here for minutes on end trying to decide between all the poker terms in the dictionary.

The first term I will define is ICM, which is short for Independent Chip Model. If your main game is STTs on Tiger Gaming, ICM is incredibly important. It assigns a cash value to your chips when there are less than 10 players remaining in a tournament.

There are not a lot of J terms, so let’s just quickly look at “jam”. If you are watching a poker video and the instructor says that a jam is optimal, it is equivalent to saying that going all-in is optimal. ”Shove” and “push” both have the same meaning.

My next word is “kill”. If you decide to play poker at your B&M instead of the usual Craps online, 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 full kill is twice the size of the big blind while a half kill is 1.5 times the big blind. Passive players that lose a lot of money on US poker sites are bound to like kill tables because they sometimes slow aggressive players down a bit.

When someone makes a move “light”, they are doing it with a hand that is relatively weak. Say you are playing on your Bwin Poker download and you have 92 in the blinds. Someone that raises a lot in late position pops it up on the button, and you decide to 3-bet since you know he is weak a large percentage of the time. He is probably raising light in late position, and you are reraising light in return. You will find these situations on a regular basis on money poker sites.

I think that will wrap it up for today. In a few weeks I will keep going with the alphabet, starting off with the letter M. This gives you plenty of time to practice your game. If you are looking for a new site to play on, give Full Tilt a try. 玩扑克赚美元，赶快开始Full Tilt Poker下载，注册您的专有账户开始赚钱之旅吧！
