ABC Player

A predictable player who is easy to read. ABC means that the player follows a pattern that other players are likely able to detect.

Don't be surprised when the ABC player across the table from you checks, raises, and folds when re-raised time after time. 

Ace-High

A hand with an ace card high, but no pairs.

You have to be pretty brave to put your chips in when all you have is an Ace-High .

Action

(1.) To bet. Your opponent might say “The action is on you”, meaning, it's your turn to bet.

(2.) You might say “This game is full of action”, meaning, that there is a great deal of bets and exchanges of money taking place.

In poker, you must always be ready for Action , in both senses of the word.

Advertise

To suggest a certain style of play to your opponents. This technique is often used to convey to your opponents that you bluff often, or to falsely imply that you are a weak player.

Some players like to Advertise by showing their hand after they are caught bluffing, in order to make it look like they bluff a lot.

A-Game

When a participant is playing their absolute best. To bring your A-Game, is to play your best.

Unless you plan on losing, you should always bring your A-Game .

Alexander

The king of clubs.

Match Alexander with some other kings, face cards, or clubs, and your hand might rule over all others.

All-Black

To have a spade or club flush. This is also sometimes referred to as All-Blue or All-Green.

All-Black, All-Blue, or All-Green … all that matters is that they're all the same.

All-In

To bet all of your money or chips.

All-In is a good way to test the strength of your hand against your opponents hand… But be careful.

All-Red

To have a heart or diamond flush. This is sometimes referred to as All-Pink or All-Purple.

All-Red is a more than all-right hand to have.

Ante

A forced bet that is required from each player to participate in the hand.

You may be told to Ante-up, which means pay-up if you want to play that hand.
