LAG
-
An abbreviation for Loose Aggressive.
Late Position -
A position in which you act after most of
the other players during a round.
Lay Down
-
To fold a hand.
Leak - A
weakness in your game that causes you to win less money than you
would otherwise. Example: "She takes her pocket pairs too far; it's
a leak in her game."
Leg Up -
Being in a situation equivalent to having won the
previous pot, and thus liable to have to kill the following pot if
you win the current pot.
Limp -
To call. Generally the term refers to pre-flop action. For instance:
"He limped in early position with 77."
Live Blind
- A forced bet put in by one or more players before any cards
are dealt. The "live" means those players still have the option of
raising when the action gets back around to them.
Live -
Cards that are not duplicated in an opponent's stronger hand. For
example, if you have A9 and your opponent has AJ, then your ace is
not "live" because making a pair of aces won't do you any good. The
nine, however, is live; making a pair of nines gives you the better
hand.
List-
The ordered roster of players waiting for a game.
Limp In-
To enter the round by calling a bet, rather than
raising.
Long Odds
-
A low probability of a certain thing happening.
Lock-Up -
A chip marker that holds a seat for a player.
Loose -
Playing more hands than normal.
Loose Game -
A game with a lot of players in most
hands. |
