    OK. That helped a bunch. But, there was one I was wondering about. The term "slow play". Is that where I take all my alloted time each card to try to get people to fold? Seems an odd thing to do, but I can find no other definition of "slow play".

    If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

    Slow Play = To have a very strong hand and to disguise it by allowing other players to bet it for you. This usually is refering to something like having AA pre-flop and only limping in or calling a small raise. Or flopping the nut straight, or a set when you had a low pair on the BB and just checking so that someone behind you can take a bluff at the hand.

    Note: Slow playing is usually a risky move, as you are giving people a chance to beat your strong hands. Opinions vary on whether or not it is advisable depending on the exact situation you are talking about.
