Poker Glossary

1. (n)  In a draw poker game, before the draw, the dealer gets information about how everyone bets before it is his turn to act, at the time of the draw, he gets information about how many cards they take, and, again, after the draw, he gets information about how they bet. In hold 'em-type games in which the betting each round after the first proceeds from the dealer's left and around, the dealer finds out how each player acts on his hand before himself having to act. This positional edge is called dealer advantage.
