Familiarize yourself with these common poker betting terms and slang and you'll fool everyone into thinking you're a seasoned pro.
Buy-In- The amount of money required to sit down at a game or enter a tournament. It's also just a general term to describe how much money you started at a table with, i.e. "I bought into the game for $50."
Bump To raise. "Bump it to ten" means raise the total bet to $10.
Family pot When everyone at the table stays in a hand, it's called a family pot.
Kick it To raise. If youre raising a $5 bet by another $5, youd say, Kick it up to $10."
Limp To bet the minimum or simply call. In holdem, when the little blind simply meets the big blind bet as opposed to raising, the little blind is "limping in."
Post To put in a bet. Usually this refers to a forced bet, like a blind. If you step away from a game for a break, the dealer might "post" your blind for you.
Stack Your total chips on the table; your bankroll. If youve got fewer chips than most other players at a game, youre short stacked.
