Hello there,

I just joined up and am interested in learning the jargon surrounding this game. These are a couple of the terms that someone defined for me recently, but I just want to confirm the definitions:

Roadie: a pair of cards that you have an unreasonable fondness for and will (almost) always play even if it doesnt make good poker sense;

Donkey: does this mean 'the biggest idiot/loser at the table'?

Betting Smoke: betting without looking at your cards;

Straddle Bet: this is something I'm confused by... a second big blind or something (played according to random local rules)

* Please * correct and add to this list. Are any of these right? I understand that some of these may be uncommon regional terms.

Thanks very much.
