Ximplifying Poker or so I thought

I wanted to learn how to play poker but I didn’t know where to start. I often watch poker playing on TV and have heard the players and even the host utter different poker terminologies that I could not relate to. Most probably poker really has its own language. So I thought of familiarizing myself with the poker terminologies and there are really a lot so I could then build my poker knowledge. Here are some terms poker beginners need to know the meaning of: Action, All-in, Ante, Bad Beat, Bang Away, Bankroll, Belly Buster, Bet, Big Slick, Blind Bet, Bluff, Board, Boat, Bring-in, Busted Draw, Buy-in, Call, Calling Station, Cap, Cold Call, Come Hand, Check, Check-Raise, Chip, Cracked, Crying Call, Dog, Door Card, Drawing Dead, Early Position, Fifth Street, Fill up, Fish, Flop, Flush, Fold, Fourth Street, Free Card, Full House, Gut Shot Draw, Hole Cards, Inside Straight Draw, Kicker, Late Position, Lay Down, Limit, Limp in, Loose, Made Hand, Middle Position, Muck, Odds, Open Ended Straight, Outs, Pocket Cards, Pocket Rockets, Porch, Pot, Pot Odds, Protecting your Hand, Quads, Rags, Raise, Rake, Reraise, River, Rolled-up Trips, Runner-Runner, Scare Card, Semi-Bluff, Seventh Street, Set, Short Stack, Side Pot, Sixth Street, Slow Stealing, Straight, Straight Flush, Sucker, Tell, Trips, Turn, Under the Gun, Wired Pair.

After getting to know the meaning of the above terms, next is to know all the poker rules. Errors will be avoided if you know all the game rules.
