   "Call to the river" means . . ?
  Hallo there,I'm just reading a poker guide,English is not my native language, the text is full of expressions I have trouble with understanding. Some of them I could clear up reading wikipedia and 'googling', but what the heck does "they will call you to the river" mean?Also, what's "jamming the pot" ?Thanks in advance,unshaven   
  'they will call you to the river' means that whatever the bet is, the opponent will 'call' (i.e. match) the bet until the 'river' (the final community) card is dealt. Assuming you're playing Texas Hold'em or Omaha of course.'Jamming the pot' means you are getting as much money as allowed into the pot. In No Limit this would be your entire stack, in Limit it is 4 big bets per round.Edit: Unless you're playing a limit heads-up game in which case the 4 bets maximum per round doesn't apply (usually).-Mezz   ;  thanks dude!heh I have another question: What are "live cards", and what "suit" ?   ;  Cards that are 'live' and functioning towards your win of the hand.  Let's say if you had J 10 and two opponents had J K and 10 A respectively.  They both share your cards with the higher kicker so you have NO "live" cards and it's virutally impossible for you to win the hand (unless someting like a flush or straight comes out for you)   ;  post updated ("suit")thx again :-)   ;  Suit is the symbol on the card.In a standard deck there are 4 suits: Hearts, Diamonds, Spades and Clubs.   ;  aaaah now it becomes clear hehe.thankyou.I hope you won't be disturbed if I ask another couple every now and then.Next one: "High paint card". Does paint mean the same as suit, then with a high value? I'm not sure.
