Poker Glossary
M Ratio
This is an indication of how strong your chip stack is compared to how
much it costs to play each in each rotation of the table. Basically, you
can sit at the table, only putting in compulsory bets (blinds, antes,
etc), for M laps of the dealer button before you run out of chips. The
higher your M, the longer you can afford to wait before making a move.
The M ratio only really applies to poker tournaments.
Made Hand
A made hand is a hand that doesn’t need any improvement to win –
for instance, with a pair of aces you are entering the pot with a made
hand.
Match the Pot
Where you put in chips equal to all the chips already in the pot.
Micro Limit
Refers to online card rooms, where the blinds are very low – perfect
for beginners – ie. 5/10 cent
Move In
Applies to no limit holdem – the same as all in. Where a player
bets every chip in front of them.
Muck/Mucking
• Throwing your cards away – “I decided to muck my 4-7
offsuit in early position”
• The pile of discarded cards – “James threw his pair
of 3’s into the muck”
Multi Way Pot
Also known as a family pot – A pot with multiple players involved.
