calcic water (medicine) and Button - Poker (gambling)

calcic water (medicine)

calcic water

A water containing appreciable quantities of calcium salts in solution.

1) In all flop Games, a small disk used to signify the player in the last position if a house dealer is used; a buck.

2) The actual dealer position (or, usually, the player in that position) in a game dealt by a house dealer. "I opened the pot, and the button raised."

A flat disc called the dealer button. The player with the button is the last to receive cards on the deal.

A button is a marker, usually a plastic disc, used to mark a particular position at the table. Usually "the button" refers specifically to the dealer button, used to mark the dealer position, or the player playing in that position. In Poker Games with a professional house-supplied dealer (who is not playing), this marks the player who acts in the dealer's position (who is dealt the last card and who is last to act in Games where the order is fixed). This player is said to be "on the button." Other buttons include the ever-popular big blind button, used to indicate a player who was absent when it would have been their turn to post a blind bet (and who will be forced to post before they can return to the game).

(For some reason, in Maryland the dealer button sits to the left of where it should be, so when you're on the button you post the first blind and act first in subsequent rounds. As far as I know Maryland is the only blatant exception.)

I wouldn't have called with that hand, except that I was on the button.
