What Is a Three-Bet in Poker and How to Incorporate It into Your Game Strategy!
Three-bet (or 3bet)is the third bet (or second raise) in a betting sequence. There is a bet (1bet), a raise (2bet), and a re-raise which is the 3bet. It’s worth remembering that in games with blinds, the first bet on the first betting round is always the blind post, which is why a re-raise against a open-raise is known as a 3bet and not a 2bet.
What is Texture in Poker?
Texture in poker typically refers to the relationship between visible cards, especially community cards in Hold’em and Omaha variants. For example, a flop of King Seven Two rainbow (all of different suits) is often described as flop with a drytexture due to the fact that there is no connectivity between the cards. The term texture may also be used to describe other sets of cards, such as the texture of a player’s upcards in Stud games.
What is Tell in Poker?
A tell in poker is a piece of information that gives us additional clues about the type of hand our opponent is holding. For example, perhaps a player’s hands tremble when they pick up a big holding. Tells can cover a wide range of different areas including, timing, bet-sizing, verbalization, posture, eyes, hands, chip tricks and even use of a card protector. In the classic movie Rounders Teddy KGB has a (somewhat unbelievable) tell where he eats an Oreo every time he has a big hand.
What is Tank in Poker?
To tank in poker means to spend time thinking about the best play in a hand. It is presumably a contraction of the words ‘time bank’, the option to request more time on a decision when playing online poker. A player can be described as ‘tanking’ or ‘going into the tank’ when they spend time pondering a decision rather than acting immediately.
