Titan Poker Poker Players to Hit the Tables under the Madrid Sun

Popular online poker room Titan Poker will send a delegation of its top players to the Eurocity Poker Tour Madrid Open this May.

MANIAC - A player who bets, raises and reraises without regard to the quality of his hand. Most often found in flop games.
HIGH-LOW SPLIT - Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
CHECK RAISE - To check initially, then raise a bet made later on in the same betting round. Frequently a sign of strength, but may be a bluff.
POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
