POCKET CARDS: Every player is dealt their first two cards face down and they remain hidden for the duration of the game.
THE FLOP
The first three of five cards shared between all players, which are simultaneously dealt face up. After the flop your hand is 71 per cent complete and it's a good time to fold if your cards aren't looking too hot.
ALL-IN
When you bet everything you have on a single hand.
THE TURN OR 4TH STREET
The fourth community card.
THE RIVER
The fifth and final community card.
A BAD BEAT
Losing a hand when you looked certain to win. You're dealt pocket aces against someone holding a pair of 2s. They win after drawing another 2 on the River.
TILT
Players who've experienced a bad beat may go on tilt and allow anger and frustration to have a negative impact on their poker game.
THE NUTS
The best possible hand in any given deal. If you draw the nuts then going all in is a pretty good idea.
