RedKings Poker Weekly $1k Added Series

PokerNews welcomes you to the fantastic Weekly $1k Added Series at RedKings Poker running from now until June 1…

HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
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.
STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
DRAW OUT - To catch a card that improves your situation from a losing hand to a winning hand, especially when you beat someone holding a hand that usually figures to win.
FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
