X card is a \"blank\"
I always scratch my head when people say things like, "turn card was a blank."
How the hell do you know it was a blank? Any dang card could be completing someone's set. Right? Or do people mean blank for them, as opposed to "blank" for everybody in the hand? |

Re: X card is a \"blank\"
i think it usually means a card that doesnt complete any draws or improve their own hand...

Re: X card is a \"blank\"
Blank = a card that doesn't obviously "appear" to help them or anyone else....however, as you point out, sometimes people get dealt pocket blanks, or they are on a nut-blank draw. You never know. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: X card is a \"blank\"
Hiya eastbay,
I use the term "blank" to mean a non-face card which does not complete any draws on board, i.e.: not the third of a suit or a card which would complete a straight. Yes, it may complete someone's set, but that's generally not what is being referred to in the context. E.g.: on a flop of A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], a turn of 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] would be a blank.

Re: X card is a \"blank\"
Cris,
That seems to be the prevailing line of thought. When I looked up this word in some poker jargon glossary, it said "a card which does not improve anyone's hand." Which led me to my question... |
