...have a system for betting?
Well, here it is. The official biweekly poker game glossary. Ever just nod along as terms go wizzing by? Unlike Transformation seminar, we're here to make you feel comfortable about all the terminology. Here is, to the best of my ability, a definitive glossary to help you with any non-official poker terms flying around the ol' folding table.
Bets:
Stine: 15
Bridgett: one of each value (valuing 16, but not simply any combination that sums to 16)
Jason: raising someone else's bet to a total of 16 yet still calling it a Bridgett.
Emily: betting 20 out of turn.
Heinz: 57
Shawn: All-in
Blaze of Glory: the act of going all in with a potentially mediocre hand to avoid losing all of your money to the blinds. (credit: Jill)
Other terms:
Flip: What Nicole occasionally calls the flop.
Flashing green button: The Dave and Buster's pin with a flashing red light saying :Ask me how to wrap up the holidays. To be won in the first round and to be set to flashing for intimidation value during an all in. Incidentally, the answer: buy a gift certificate.
The worst game ever: looking at the cards on the board and saying different hole cards people could potentially have that would create a good hand. Example - after a AJK flop "Wow, if someone had 2 aces now..." or "Wow, if someone had 10Q..." or "Wow, if someone has two hearts..." (reigning champion: Nicole)
Best game ever: actually guessing someone's hand based on his or her betting patterns and the cards that have been turned over. (reigning champion: me)
That's all I have. Let me know if I forgot anything!

don't forget there are multiples of Stines, and I believe the same for Bridgetts. So, 30 is 2 Stines (or a double Stine) and 32 is a double Bridgett.
