Online Poker for Gay Community

If an online poker website could be themed specifically for the Hip Hop community, and one for the Irish community, and one for Hollywood Celebrities, then why not one for the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) community? That was what ComeOutPoker.com figured, launching the world’s first online poker site catering exclusively to the GLBT world.

  • RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
  • BIG BLIND - A blind bet, usually a raise of an earlier blind which would be called the SMALL BLIND. In limit poker, the BIG BLIND is usually the size of the minimum bet on the first round of betting.
  • MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
  • BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
  • BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
  • EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
