Nice to see you again! It is time to go over more terms that should matter as you strive to win on
money poker sites. I hope you are enjoying my alphabetical progress as much as I am. If nothing else it prevents me from pulling my hair out as I try to decide which terms to choose since there are so many.
For the letter “I” let’s define ICM, which is an acronym for Independent Chip Model. If you enjoy sit & gos on a
Full Tilt Poker download, knowing about ICM is a must. When there are less than 10 players remaining in a tourney, ICM gives your chips a cash value and helps you make optimal decisions.
It’s pretty slim pickings for the letter J, so we will just go over “jam”. If you get your hands on some
free poker training and the instructor says he likes a jam, he is saying that he likes going all-in. It is interchangeable with the terms “shove” and “push”.
I picked “kill” for the letter K. If you decide not to
download Roulette in favor of poker at the local brick-and-mortar, you can choose to play a kill game. When someone wins two pots in a row, they are required to pay an extra blind the next hand. A half kill is one and a half times the big blind and a full kill is two times the bid blind. People that do not like the tough games on
poker flash sites might enjoy kill tables since they have the ability to stifle hyper-aggression.
When someone raises or calls “light”, they are representing a much stronger hand than the one they actually have. Say you are playing on
Tiger Gaming and you have 74 in the big blind. A player that opens frequently in late position raises on the cut-off, and you elect to reraise since you know he is weak a large percentage of the time. He is likely raising light in his position, and you are reraising light from the blinds. You will find these situations on a regular basis when playing poker.
We have gone through another four terms just now, so that is it for today. In a few weeks I will get started again with the letter M. To keep yourself busy, be sure to play lots of poker.
