The case card is the last card available of a particular rank in the deck. For example, if my hole cards are pocket fives and the board is AK5 and another five comes out on the turn, that final card (making a four of a kind using all available fives in the deck) is considered the case five.

Call To bet an amount only equal to the previous bet. You must at least “call” other players bets to stay in the hand or you can raise, otherwise you must fold your hand. If no one before you makes a bet, you can also just “check” the hand and stay in the game until another player raises.

A bad beat is a loss in which the losing player had the better odds on the winning player earlier in the hand. In general, the term is used when all the chips go in the pot when the losing player had odds. To take a bad beat means to be on the losing end of a bad beat; to lay a bad beat means to be on the winning end of a bad beat.

This is characterized as any acting out of turn. It is considered angling when any player folds or bets out of turn. A player who uses constant angling is known as an “angle shooter”. Angling is used to make opponents bet or fold differently to that if they didn’t know what the anglers play was. For example, if the angler signals to bet before his turn, other players to the angler’s right react by not betting or perhaps even folding. When the round reaches the angler, the angler announces that he or she is not interested in betting after all, or winning a hand due to the opponents fold.

To advertise is to represent a method of play. For example, you play tight and only call when you have great cards, then show them. Next time you can call with rubbish (bluff) and players think you have another strong hand.

An ABC player is a player who is very predictable. This player generally reads a poker book or two and follows them to the word. They always play hands the same way and are generally pretty tight. These types of players are often winners at lower stakes and loose games but are easily crushed by advanced players.

Craps is the game that all the noise comes from on the casino floor. A craps layout looks complicated - and it can be - but there are also some very simple bets you can make to have some fun and win some money. Most people don’t even what most of the bets on a craps table mean, so they bet on one of two easy options - the ‘Pass’ line or the ‘Don’t Pass’ bar.

Caribbean Stud is a popular casino poker game where up to seven players and a dealer are dealt a five card poker hand. The object is to beat the dealer’s hand. Play begins with all players placing an ante bet. Cards are then dealt, with the dealer exposing a single card from their hand face up on the table. Players then have the option of staying in the hand by doubling their ante with a raise bet, or they may fold their hand and forfeit their ante.
