edited October 2010 in Poker Chat

It's that time again! Gidzo and I will installing ourselves into the Sky Poker News desk for another four hours of sheer Bounty hunting JOY!!

There will be spot prizes, hand analyses and maybe even some banter..

And for a side topic.. what do you think is the most abused/misunderstood Poker term? Or is there something you keep hearing or have heard but still have no idea what it means?

For example: I learned the concept of 'Straddling' last week. EASY, it's not what you think!! It's simply when the player AFTER the big blind also puts in a bet before looking at his card and and then choose to raise it when the action comes round to him.her. Actually to be honest I still have no idea what it's about.. but I'm sure someone can explain it!!

    Hi LML

    I've never understood the term "Floating" is it something to do with keeping your head above water? cause if it is i'm definately drowning lol.

    Do you or Mr. Giddins "Float"

    Good luck with the show.

    Ps. Can I have a sky poker shirt like yours? It looks Cool!!!

    I got a couple.

    When people label players "bingo players" or "chancers" because they dare to enter/win a pot with anything less than pocket Queens.

    The 2nd, is a phrase. When people say "raise it up to scare off ace rag" - when they're holding pocket kings. aghhhh !!!!

    Also, one for Ed, I posted a hand in the clinic a while back, where I was in the big blind, and had pocket Aces. There was a raise from under the gun, and 3 callers. I quoted that I "squeezed" from the big blind with my aces.

    Can you squeeze with a good hand????

    Does the term "squeeze" refer to the move/play, regardless of my hand? or do you NEED to have a bad hand to squeeze?

    Thanx, will try again to make the first break tonight, enjoy the show.

    JJ

    greetings to the lovely Lisa Marie and the not so lovely Ed (lol).
    I'm still learning the game and don't yet know what the term 'donk bet' really means. Any chance you could explain please?
    Many thanks

    Hi LML, there are two forum terms that keep popping up which are making no sense. Are they competition terms? or new improved names for bad river cards?

    "Check Your Inbox" and "I'm Leaving"

    I think I'm way too nitty and played too passively- I was going to continue on flop, but thought it'd look too suspicious- so checked, as I would with a set. Then the J came on turn, and I had a suspicion one may have- still think that's where I missed a trick. Very sure I was beat by river so had to give up, where do you think I should have made a stand here?

    Well, as luck would have it, I know, the In box is the next card after the river which is always checked, and Im leaving is when they have been knocked out of a tourny.

    There's a player who plays DYMs quite a bit who puts in the chat box "Nice call" to mean "nice decision" - whether the decision was a call, a shove or even a fold. That can get quite confusing at times lol

    Hey guys please show this hand.

    Hand History #298348498 (20:38 14/10/2010)
    Bet folding here is pretty terrible, as is my limp pre, I made the mistake of limping with a speculative hand, and nearly getting carried away with top pair.

    When I folded, the guy instantly said GF.

    What do u think?

    Thanx,
