Ace-High – Ace-high hands are the best

non-made hand you can
make in a game of poker.

pair or anything higher in the
poker hand rankings but do
hands could include holdings
like A♥J♣7♥6♠2♦ and
A♠9♥5♦4♣3♥.

more chips to add to their
stacks. The add-on is optional

recommended.

angle shooting.

Ante – Antes are forced bets that every

player must pay before any cards

poker.

Effective Stack – When two players are

in a pot, the smaller stack represents
the maximum amount either player can
win. This amount is called the effective

has four of the five cards needed for a
straight but is missing the one in the
middle.

Kicker – A kicker, also referred to as a

hand. However, a kicker may be used to
break ties between equally ranking
hands. In this scenario, it would be the
next highest card.
Limping – When a player opens the
preflop betting round by calling, instead
of raising, that player is said to be
limping, or limping in.

Muck – Surrendering your hand at any

time is known as mucking. Muck and
“fold” can be used interchangeably, but
you can also muck at showdown.

No-Limit – Games that allow players to

bet their entire stack at any time are
played with a No-Limit betting
structure.

Nuts – The nuts is a popular term used

to describe the best possible hand once
all the cards are dealt. This can be
anything from the top set possible to a
royal flush. The nuts is a hand that can’t
be beat. It’s against the rules to check
back on the river when you have the
nuts.

Open – An open, aka open raise, refers

to when a player raises a pot after no
other player has previously called or
raised. An open is also sometimes known
as “raise first in.”

Open-Ended Straight Draw – A

straight draw with eight outs, needing a
card to complete one end or the other,
is known as an open-ended straight
draw. For instance,
6♠5♥4♣3♥represents an open-ended
straight draw, needing a seven or a two
to make the straight.

Outs – An out is a card that turns your

holding into the winning hand. For
example, if you hold A♠K♥, your
opponent holds Q♠Q♥, and the board
reads J♠9♥6♣3♥, the aces and kings
remaining in the deck are your outs.

Over Card – An over card is any card

that you can pair that’s higher than a

minimum bet and the current pot size.

Quads – Quads is another way of

saying four of a kind in a poker game. If
there are two queens on the board, and

hand, you have quad queens — one of
the strongest possible hands. Only a
straight flush and royal flush can beat
quads.

Rake – The house cut of any cash game

pot or tournament entry fee is known
as the rake.

Rebuy – A rebuy is when a player busts

out of a tournament but they want to
buy in again for the same amount as

entry event, where a player gets a
brand-new seat.

Ring Game – A ring game is another

term for a poker cash game. The key is

any way. Ring games often come with
looser rules, with no set time or number
of hands to finish, and can apply to any
poker game.

River –The river is another name for

the fifth and final community card
placed faced up on the table. After the
river is dealt, there’s one final round of
betting before cards are tabled. The
river is often the card of nightmares for

avoid a bad beat.

(UTG) is a reference to the position
immediately left of the big blind. It
occurs in flop games like Texas Hold’em
and Omaha poker. This means that the
under the gun player is the first to act
before the flop. The term acknowledges
the pressure that goes along with acting
before anyone else.

Value Bet – A value bet aims to prompt

another player to call. You should only
make value bets when you think you
have the best hand.

VPIP – VPIP is a popular term in poker

analytics and it stands for Voluntarily
Put in Pot. A player with a high VPIP is
very active preflop and is more likely to
put chips into the pot outside of the
forced blinds. Meanwhile, a player with
a low VPIP is often seen as tight and
plays only premium cards.

ABC Poker – ABC Poker refers to

playing a sound, basic strategy. An ABC

selection. Out-of-line bluffs and hero
calls don’t fit into this approach. An

anything from the top set possible to a
royal flush. The nuts is a hand that can’t
be beat. It’s against the rules to check
back on the river when you have the
nuts.

Open – An open, aka open raise, refers

to when a player raises a pot after no
other player has previously called or
raised. An open is also sometimes known
as “raise first in.”

Open-Ended Straight Draw – A

straight draw with eight outs, needing a
card to complete one end or the other,
is known as an open-ended straight
draw. For instance,
6♠5♥4♣3♥represents an open-ended
straight draw, needing a seven or a two
to make the straight.

Outs – An out is a card that turns your

holding into the winning hand. For
example, if you hold A♠K♥, your
opponent holds Q♠Q♥, and the board
reads J♠9♥6♣3♥, the aces and kings
remaining in the deck are your outs.
Poker Rooms – Poker rooms are the
locations in casinos where they spread
poker for the public. It’s a specific
section of tables that run poker cash
games or tournaments. The term can
technically apply to online websites as
well, but it most often describes physical
rooms, like these 10 best poker rooms
in Las Vegas.

Pot-Limit – Pot-limit (PL) is a betting

structure that allows a poker player to
bet or raise any amount between a set
minimum bet and the current pot size.

Pot Odds – Pot odds are the ratio

between the total pot size and the size
of the bet.

Quads – Quads is another way of

saying four of a kind in a poker game. If
there are two queens on the board, and
you have the other two queens in your
hand, you have quad queens — one of
the strongest possible hands. Only a
straight flush and royal flush can beat
quads.

Rake – The house cut of any cash game

pot or tournament entry fee is known
as the rake.

Rebuy – A rebuy is when a player busts

out of a tournament but they want to
buy in again for the same amount as
the original buy-in. Players will receive
a fresh stack of chips, and usually keep
their seats. This is different from a re-
entry event, where a player gets a
brand-new seat.
Ring Game – A ring game is another
term for a poker cash game. The key is
that it’s not related to a tournament in
any way. Ring games often come with
looser rules, with no set time or number
of hands to finish, and can apply to any
poker game.

River –The river is another name for

the fifth and final community card
placed faced up on the table. After the
river is dealt, there’s one final round of
betting before cards are tabled. The
river is often the card of nightmares for
hands that are ahead and looking to
avoid a bad beat.

Royal Flush – A royal flush is one of the

best possible hands in poker. It is a set
of cards that are all of the same suit
while also being the most valuable cards
(ace, king, queen, jack, and ten).

Satellite – Satellite tournaments award

entry to larger buy-in tournaments as
prizes, rather than cash.

Semi-Bluff – A semi-bluff is a bet made

when a player doesn’t have a high-value
poker hand, but can still win the pot by
getting their opponents to fold to their
bet.

Short Handed – Short handed describes

any poker table that isn’t fully seated
with nine players. Short handed is most
often seen in six-max tournaments or
cash games, and is usually more popular
in online formats. It can also describe a
tournament table that has seen multiple
knockouts.
Side Pot – The side pot is separate from
the main pot. Only actively betting
players can play for it, while any
remaining players that have gone all-in
can only win the main pot.

Small Blind – The small blind is a bet

placed by the player to the left of the
dealer button. The big blind (referenced
above) is then posted by the next player
to the left. In general, the big blind
equals the minimum bet and the small
blind is typically half the amount of the
big blind.

Split Pot – A split pot is when the pot

is evenly divided among the winners.

Squeeze – Raising against a previous

raiser and at least one caller is known
as squeezing.
Straddle – Some cash games allow
players to post a blind bet, at least
double the big blind amount, before the
cards are dealt. This action is known as
a straddle.

Straight – A straight is a poker hand

that contains five cards of sequential
rank, but of different suits.

Straight Flush – A straight flush is when

a player has a hand consisting of all five
cards of the same suit.

y make value bets when you think you

have the best hand.

QUESTION 2
(a)badminton

n badminton, the initial transition and goal

I

state can be described as follows:

Initial Transition:
 The game begins with a serve. One player
or team serves the shuttlecock, standing in
their respective service court on one side of
the net.
 The server must hit the shuttlecock over
the net and into the diagonally opposite
service court on the other side of the net to
initiate the rally.

Goal State:

 The primary goal in badminton is to score

points by making the shuttlecock land in the
opponent's court in a way that the opponents
cannot successfully return it.
 The game is typically played to a specific
number of points, often 21 points for each
game, with a two-point advantage required to
win. The first side to reach the specified
number of points with the necessary lead wins
the game.
 In a match, the goal state is to win the
majority of the games, often best of three
games for singles and doubles. The overall
goal is to win the match by winning the
predetermined number of games.
 (b)poker game

The Button
The play moves clockwise around the table,
starting with action to the left of the dealer
button.
The 'button' is a round disc that sits in front of
a player and is rotated one seat to the left
every hand.
When playing in casinos and poker rooms, the
player with the dealer button doesn't deal the
cards (the poker room hires someone to do
that).
When you play poker home games with
friends the player with the button usually deals
the hands.
The button determines which player at
the table is the acting dealer.
The first two players sitting to the immediate
left of the button are required to post a 'small
blind' and a 'big blind' to initiate the betting.
From there, the action occurs on multiple
streets:
 Preflop
 Flop
 Turn
 River
Each one of these moments (or 'streets' in the
game's lingo) is explained further below.
The button determines which player at the
table is the acting dealer.
In Texas hold'em, the player on button, or last
active player closest to the button receives the
last action on all post-flop streets of play.
While the dealer button dictates which players
have to post the small and big blinds, it also
determines where the dealing of the cards
begins.
The player to the immediate left of the dealer
button in the small blind receives the first card
and then the dealer pitches cards around the
table in a clockwise motion from player to
player until each has received two starting
cards.
