Have you ever heard an expression at a poker game, or while watching poker on TV, and thought – What the heck is he talking about? In a never ending effort to educate the readers of VLVB, we present part one of our ‘Poker Terms’ series

Flop a Set
: A set is three of a kind. You flop a set when you have a pocket pair, let’s say eights, and a third eight comes on the flop.

Family Pot
: A hand where all (or most) of the players at the table have called before the flop.

Rabbit Hunting
: Looking through the deck to see what the next card would have been to see what the outcome of a hand would have been.

“Must-Move” Game: In order to keep the main game filled, this is a situation where a second game is started, but the players in the second game know they must move (in a predetermined order) over to the first game as players leave.
