Strategies:
Limit
- A game in which all bets are in increments of the betting
limit. For example, in a $5-limit game, players can bet or
raise only $5 at a time
No
Limit - A game in which, on his turn, a player can
bet all of his chips (or of his opponent's, if the bettor has
more), as opposed to a limit game, in which all bets and
raises are in multiples of the betting limit
Pot Limit - A game whose
betting limit is always equal to the current size of the pot.
A raise can include the size of the pot after the call is
accounted for.
Heads
Up - Pertaining to two players playing a game by
themselves.
Tournament - Competition among
players, sometimes with one buy-in, in which case it is often
called a freeze-out tournament, and then played down till
there are a preset number of players remaining, at which point
all win the chips they have at that time, or till one is left,
at which point prizes are awarded that are percentages of the
total bought in, with the most for the first-place winner,
next for second, and so on.

Advice
Adjustment
Loose
- Playing liberally; not tight In high draw, usually implies
drawing to all the little pairs, all the four-straights and
four-flushes, and many of the two-card draws to other than
trips, and often calling many bets and raises to do so. In
hold 'em, playing almost any two-card starting combination,
and playing through to the river on almost anything that has a
prayer of winning.
Tight
- Playing very conservatively; showing little gamble; not
likely to take a chance; having stringent playing
requirements. Compare with close to the chest, conservative,
drummer, hardrock, milker. nutted up, rocked up, rock, rocky,
screwed down.
Table Position Calculation
Someone who
plays position, that is, who is more or less liberal with his
opening requirements and more or less aggressive in the play
of his hands, dependent on his position with respect to the
other players, or one vulnerable player in particular.
Low - adjust to your
preference.
High -
adjust to your preference.
