are taking at draw.

Taking action or talking when it is not your turn in order to
mislead your opponent. Some consider this to be cheating, others
consider these tactics to be a part of the game.
Animal
-
Nickname for a player that is loose-aggressive.
Animals are involved in too many hands and will almost always bet
and raise when
given the opportunity, often with garbage hands. Also known as a
maniac.
Ante - A
small portion of a bet contributed by each player to seed the pot at
the beginning of a poker hand. Most hold'em games do not have an
