Many want to learn how to play poker. But first you need to understand some concepts and definitions.

Poker pot

Beginners are often confused by the term "pot" as they don't know much about gambling slang at first. So what is a pot in poker? In this article, we will try to clearly explain some of the nuances of the game, as well as learn the basic terminology. Yes, the term is funny. What is sweat? This is all the money collected for the passed rounds with the help of all bets. In other words, the bank.

After the game, all the money goes to the winner, if there is more than one, then everyone is divided into equal parts. It is worth noting that the stakes of all poker participants are correlated with the size of the bank. The most popular bets are those that are 1/3 or 2/3 of the pot. There are times when the pot can be replenished with full stakes.

Pot types and other poker terms

There are two types of pot in poker: pot - main, sidepot - side. It is at the very beginning of the game that the main bank is created - the bets made by all players. A player who went all-in - all-in - at the beginning of the game and put all his money into it, cannot take part in the side pot. Only those who participatewho has chips. It is important to remember: there is only one main bank, and there may be several side ones. There is another version of the pot-limit game (pot-limit) - the bank does not set limits, there are no restrictions on the amount of bets. Players deposit money within the pot.

Bankroll - the amount (cash) that is used as a bet in the game. This capital can only be owned by the player who has it on all accounts. A special management system has been developed to manage your bankroll. Now it's much clearer what sweat is.

Jackpot

Now let's define what a jackpot is. Its cost significantly exceeds the price of a bet or a lottery ticket. If we take the average resident of Russia, then for him the amount of jackpots is simply huge. Jackpots on slot machines collect an average of 30-50 average salaries. Casino owners thus attract even more players.

The last ones like it because they can get a lot of money using the minimum bet. Jackpots are divided into progressive and non-progressive. Non-progressive is a fixed amount that will go to the lucky player. Another thing is progressive. The progressive jackpot is part of the bet of all players who have played this machine. This can be done in an online casino, and it is much easier, since a large number of players play at the same machine at the same time. In a short time, the jackpot grows to astronomical proportions. It happens that it is won, then the counter is reset to zero. But after a while, it again reaches colossal proportions.

The division of money between players who have collected the same combination

Now let's find out what a split pot is. This is a division situation between two players who managed to collect the same combination. Split pot or split pot - money that players divide among themselves. Often this occurs when players have the same cards, for example, each holds a pair of aces. A split can occur even if both players have the same card that can make a straight.

For example, this situation: J-Q-K-A opened on the table, and each player has a ten. In this case, the bank will still have to be divided, and this cannot be avoided. A split can be obtained by building a mutual combination of community cards. For example, if the table will fall 3-4-5-6-7, and no one will have an eight.

If the players invested money in the bank, and they will pay the rake to the institution and, as a result of the change, will get into a small loss, the split situation will be unprofitable for them. Of course, if they "squeeze out" other players who have invested money in the bank, they will be in the black. The fact is that the rake will not be more than the amount of the contribution to the pot of the folded players.

Interestingly, this situation is rare in hi-low, because both high and low combinations must match there, which in turn will reduce the probability of splitting the pot.

Calm and well thought out strategy

All professional players always have their own strategy. They will only play hands that have a chance of winning. However, there aremoments when he played a hand correctly, but he himself lost. You sat down at the table and started poker? Stick to your strategy. Remember, everyone can lose, the opponent will collect chips from all players at the table, but in no case should you deviate from the strategy. Luck in poker is temporary. The strategy is designed for a long period of time. This can be checked by your win rate, which is an indicator of the average win, i.e. the number of blinds you win per 100 hands.

To play well, you need to learn all the nuances: know all the terms and possible situations, understand what a cold sweat is, try to figure out other players. Always watch your game. Look for mistakes, analyze and try not to repeat them again. If you are constantly accompanied by a losing streak, this does not mean that you do not know how to play, most likely, you just make mistakes that can cost you a lot of money in the future.

Here's a little tip. If you've already lost a lot of your chips, don't go any further, take a break. Most of those who lose begin to forget about calculation and strategy. They seek to recoup. Even this phenomenon has a name - tilt, which means "loss of self-control." No need to take risks, relax, rest, calm down. And only after that continue the game.

Efficiency leads to success

Even in times of failure, you need to keep an eye on your bankroll. It's scary to lose everything if you play at the wrong limit for yourself. Playing at a low limit, having gone through a losing streak, you will soon be able toClimb your own and the game will improve. The development of the game and the bankroll depends on you.

We hope that after reading this article, you will become more attentive to luck. Playing for a long time and constantly losing, it is worth considering. It is recommended to review all your mistakes. After a while, you will improve your game and reach high limits. This will help you to know what the pot is and other situations in the game.
