Trapper
A trapper is a player who underbets a strong hand to create a larger pot. He uses checks and small bets to lure others in.
Turn C‑bet
A turn c-bet is a continuation bet on the turn: the player who raised before the flop and bet the flop bets again on the turn. It is sometimes called the second barrel.
Undercut
Undercut has two meanings: the final down card being the lowest hole card in low-hole stud, and a shuffling technique used to prepare a stacked deck.
Underplay
To underplay a hand is to make a small bet with a strong hand, in the hope of drawing other players into the pot. You bet less than the hand deserves.
Value
Value, in 'a bet for value', means that you want your opponents to call your bet, because you expect to have the best hand. It is the opposite of a bluff.
Value Bet
A value bet is a bet that you make with a hand that you expect to be best, so that a worse hand will call it. The aim is to win more chips from weaker hands.
Value Cutting
Value cutting is betting for value with a hand you believe is best, and being called or raised only by a stronger hand. You cut the value of your own bet, because only better hands pay.
Weak
A weak player is one who folds too many hands. He gives up too easily and loses money by not calling or raising when he should.
Weak Ace
A weak ace is an ace with a low kicker, such as ace-five or ace-three. It is a starting hand that has some value but often loses to better aces.
Window Dressing
Window dressing is the act of purposely flashing a card from your closed hand, so that others can see it. A player does it to give a false impression of his hand.
Worst Hand
The worst hand is a losing hand. In general, it means the weakest hand in a showdown, or the weakest hand that you can put another player on.
Worst Likely Hand
The worst likely hand is the weakest holding that you might reasonably put another player on. You use it to see how bad your opponent's hand could be.
Worst of It
The worst of it means fighting the odds: being in a situation where your wager has an unfavorable return. The opposite is the best of it. People say 'take the worst of it' or 'have the worst of it'.
