Call:

No, we are not talking about giving a phone call. In Poker, to ‘call’ is match the current Bet.

Calling Station:

Refers to a weak player who repeatedly checks and calls, but hardly ever raises.

Cap:

Ah, I love all kinds of caps and hats but, here we are referring to the limit on the number of raises allowed in a betting round. Typically the cap is three or four raises plus the opening bet.

Case Card:

It is the last available card of a certain kind (usually a rank).

Cash Plays:

An announcement made usually by a dealer that a player has requested to buy chips and till he receives his chips, he can bet the cash he has on the table in place of chips.

Ante:

A small, forced Bet that everyone at the Table is required to pay before each Hand (in games with an Ante).

Catch:

When the cards are treating you well - when you receive the cards you need for a draw, you are said to be Catching Cards. Now that’s something all Poker players wish to do.. “catch”.

Catch Up:

Is to successfully complete a draw and in turn defeat the player who earlier had a better hand

Catch Perfect:

To catch the only two possible cards (usually those leading to a straight flush) that will complete a hand and win the pot. This is mostly used in Texas Hold 'Em.

Check:

If there has been no betting before you in a betting round, you may ‘Check’ which is like ‘calling’ a Bet of $0 or passing your turn

Cheese:

In Poker the cheese isn’t a goody or something nice but just the opposite. It refers to a poor hand. Eg: Throw that piece of cheese in the muck and move on to the next hand

If your mouth is beginning to water already let me explain that Poker Chips are small round plastic discs that are used in lieu of money at the Poker Table.

This is a method in which you declare whether you intent to play high or low in a split-pot game with declaration.

A form of collusion that happens during tournaments, especially in the beginning few rounds. Two or more players decide to go all-in early. The winner gets a large amount of chips that increases the player's chance of cashing. The winnings are then split among the colluders.

It’s like rounding off to the next big figure in calculations. The lower-denomination chips are exchanged for higher-denomination chips. In tournament play, the term means to remove all the small chips from play by rounding off any odd small chips to the nearest large denomination, rather than using a chip race.
Another term for it is ‘color change’.

Chop:

This neither refers to some Karate move nor to the action of cutting up something or someone

 

“Chop” means to split a pot because of a tie, split-pot game, or player agreement.

 

It also refers to play a game for a short duration and cash out. Alternately, known as "hit and run".

 

A request made by a player to a dealer after taking a large-denomination chip that he wishes the dealer to make change.

 

To chop blinds.

It refers to what people usually do in coffee houses- make small annoying talk. The only difference is that in Poker it’s done at the table during the game usually with the intention of misleading or manipulating opponents.

It has two meanings

A Blind Bet, or Blind, is a forced Bet that must be posted before you see any cards.

To call an amount that represents a sum of bets or raises by more than one player

A deck pre-arranged to produce a specific outcome and then sneakily switched into the game. It is called "cold" because such a deck switched in during play will not have been warmed by the dealer's hands

A form of cheating that involves co-operation among two or more players.

To exchange small-denomination chips for larger ones.

This refers to a casino table at which many variations of poker are played in rotation.

A bet or raise made with a drawing hand to build the pot in the hope of filling the draw. It is usually a weak "gambler's" play, but sometimes it is the right move if there is a very good draw and large pot or as a semi-bluff.

A bet made after the flop by the player who took the lead in betting before the flop (applicable in Hold' Em and Omaha).

This neither refers to an animal that might have strayed into a casino or a profanity. In Poker, “cow” is the player with whom you are sharing a buy-in, with the intention of splitting the result after play. To "go cow" is to make such an arrangement.

Hmm.. You wish we were talking about some western hunk but the term refers to the hunk of Poker which is the ‘King’ though usually heard in the plural.

As the term suggests, it simply refers to beat a better hand, mostly heard in reference to the best Hold’ em hole cards, AA. Eg. "My Aces were cracked again."

It’s almost like caught between two gangs firing at each other- a player caught between two raisers and is induced to call each bet because of the pot odds.

A call made reluctantly (and desperately) on the last betting round with the expectation of losing (but with some remote hope of catching a bluff).

After the Cards are shuffled but before they are dealt, usually the deck is split in the middle and the halves are reversed.

The seat immediately to the right of the dealer button. Also "pone".
