There are a huge number of poker terms. If you are going to take the time to play online, do yourself a favor and brush up on your poker terminology. You can’t stay a newbie forever. If you want to be taken seriously as a poker player, learn the lingo. If you don’t know what the “pot” is or if you can’t tell the difference between “community cards” and “hole cards”, you’re not going to get very far.
Texas Hold’em is the most popular version of poker online. No-limit Hold’em, in particular, is popular and is often the game of choice selected for many tournaments, including televised world-famous poker tournaments like the WSOP (World Series of Poker). According to the state of Texas, Hold’em originated in the early 20th century in Robstown, Texas.
The “Monemaker Effect” is a term used to describe the sudden growth of interest in poker after the 2003 WSOP Main Event. During this event, the then 27-year old amateur poker player, Chris Moneymaker, turned his $39 poker satellite tournament win at the PokerStars online poker room into a $2.5 million prize after winning the WSOP main event. After his win, millions of players joined online poker sites with the hopes of enjoying similar success.
On a final note, remember that regardless of whatever online poker facts you may learn along the way, as you enjoy diverse poker experiences, never forget the two most important rules. One: play only at a site that’s licensed, regulated and can be trusted. Two: never bet more than you can afford to lose.
