Poker Guy: In multi-way pots, a quick call could be the wise move
ALOT OF no-limit hold ‘em tournament hands get played heads-up. But in deep-stack events, where you start with an amount of chips worth twice the price of your buy-in, you will find yourself in multi-way pots.

Poker argot:
- RUSH - A winning streak. Also "ON A RUSH".
- POT ODDS - The amount of money in the pot divided by the amount of money you must bet in order to call. Often used to determine if a pot offers enough reward to play on the come.
- 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.
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
