Very useful to a new player like me Dave.

I can now understand much more of what is going on in the chat box.

Antes are kind of like a running tax, Steve. Some cash games use them to bump up the pot each hand, some tournaments introduce them to the blind structure to pick up the action.

Players post antes each and every hand. So in a £1/2 game, you might also decide to have an ante of 25p. That means every player would have to put that 25p in, and the blinds would also post blinds as normal (so the big blind pays £2.25 that hand in blinds and antes, etc).

Hope that's useful!

what is a back raise?
Posted by karenslad

When action has already been on a player and they do a passive action such as a check or a call and then when action comes back to them again on the same betting round and they now make a raise.

Not strictly an abbreviation (for which there is none) but would like to know why my 'muck hand' or whatever it is box is ticked and what the hell it means?

Please don't chuckle too much at my ignorance......

its when you call a river bet and you dont have the best hand it just auto folds your hand so they dont see it unless they look back at the hand histories

Well that's certainly a very comprehensive list of poker abbreviations...
