I don't know where I picked this one up from, or even if it's common
Dirty Flush - Flush using just one of your cards, particularly after a pre flop all in, coming from behind

That happened to me once. My KJ dominating his K2 off-suit. He made a flush with his 2.

freeroll - one definition is a free tournament, the other is when you have a redraw to a better hand yet have no chance of losing. In the hand below, two players had AJ, but jannik1997 was freerolling the river for a flush (which didn't come).

I've wondered that too, but I'm fairly sure it's either New Hampshire, Null Hypothesis, Nerf Herder, or nice hand.
I see, Nerf Herder.
I see, Nerf Herder.
No, it's nuke holland.
Cuz it sounds anal.
That was a joke.
Seems like the term orbit is also commonly used.
I want a help with this one
Small Ball
Negreanau (spelling) has taken this new approach and is doing pretty darn well with it, but he only explains it in his recently released book *surprise*. Anyway, what I basically think it is, is keeping pots small when you're unsure, i.e: Top Pair weak kicker on a draw heavy board, either betting out small into it hoping to taking it down early, or conceeding. Then making big pots when you have the nuts.
Its all very well and good in theory....but how to pull it off, and have I got an accurate description? Feel free to fill me in

There is some discussion in the Kill Phil book. I notice small ball when I get constantly min-raised on the flop or turn, which then leaves me wondering in future hands where I stand, what has he got, and before I know it, I'm just really confused.
I copied this from another forum:
Many players uncomfortable at their post flop play, or one's that enjoy playing big pots will lean toward a longball style especially against a strong postflop player, while a more comfortable post flop player will use a style incorporating small ball, to keep the lead in the hand while keeping the pot managable.
From what I know a long ball style utilizes much larger preflop raises with the intent to take down the pot on the flop with a large flop bet. Long ball players usually will be more tighter than the avarage because of their better starting hand requirements, and the large preflop bets increase their chances of winning these pots by slimming down the field. You usually will have to play premium hands to justify the risks of the large preflop bets. The plus side to this style is that your winning percentage should be higher than most, however the win sizes will be marginal as you will mostly be in 2 and 3 way pots. Also your table image will allow you to occasionally steal pots preflop, as most will give you a solid hand after showing down big winners. The down side of course is that the pots you will lose will often be large, as the preflop betting will tie you to the hand because of the pot size. You will also be fairly easy to put on a premium hand preflop.
Small ball is a style that uses small, information gaining bets each street designed to keep pressure on your opponents and to control the pot size. Small ball players like to see frequent flops, and are in a great deal of hands. Using this style forces you to play in many difficult and marginal situations, so skill at reading hand and board texture is a must. The plus side is that you will pick up many small pots using a flurry of small 'annoying' bets and raises, while keeping the risk of losing your entire stack to a minimum. It will be much easier for you to get away from a hand as the pots will often not be worth the fight, and because you will be involved in many future pots, you will have made up the money lost in a short time anyway. The down side is that you will become a target for trapping. Many players will play large hands out of position passively, counting on you to bet their hand for them. This style is easily beaten by larger preflop re-raises, to take the lead away from the small lead bettor.
Daniel Negraneau, and Phil Hellmuth are big proponents of small ball play, while players like Mike Matusow and Scotty Nguyen like to play larger pots, especially preflop.
And this from 2p2.
And from the horse's mouth:
deacsoft: The word has been out for a while now that you have a book in the works. Can you tell us a little about it?
Daniel Negreanu: I plan on writing a few books actually, but the first one will cover hold'em only. The meat of the book will be my finishing chapter. That chapter will go into great detail on how to play "small ball". “Small ball” is an approach that is used amongst virtually every successful tournament player out there today. The theme behind it is simple: how to accumulate a large stack of chips without taking any big risks.
Under the gun = first to act.
thought so just making sure
