I don't really know where else to put this, but I'm going to try and do some translating and I was wondering what common poker terms in Spanish are. The only one I know is 'pot', so no word is too obvious, and I mean that. Also, if this is in the wrong spot, feel free to move, and also to suggest other avenues of help. Thanks.

Babelfish?

That's not going to work well. "Poker," for instance, has several meanings, and these should get translated to different words. Babelfish will probably guess the wrong one. Other terms have several English alternatives, and it may not be clear which one to translate.

I think you can get most of the terms from Spanish poker forums like http://poquer-red.com/foros/.

Hi, I am a bit of a lurker here on the forums...hehehe, this is my first post...

Anyways, I play fairly often live games here in Bolivia, South America and so I am familiar with a fair amount of the terminology.

If you make me a list of the words I can do my best to translate for you!

Anyways here are some:
Check - Pasar, Paso
Bet - Apostar, Apuesto
Raise - Aumentar, Aumento
Pair - Par
2 Pair - dos par
3 of a kind - Trika (sp?)
Straight - Escalera
Flush - Color
Full house - Full or Fullhouse
Four of a kind - Poker
Straight flush - Escalera Color
Royal flush - escalera real

how do they say drawing dead?

3 of a kind could be tercia
straight could be corrida..
its pretty complicated when translating

It's only difficult to translate if you use a dictionary instead of a speaker. Does anyone know "all in" Do they just say Apostar or AUmentar Todo? I guess they would get the idea, just wondering if there is slang or jargon that is common everywhere.

Well they cheer me on when I make a smooth play against them, so I know 'poker hero' in Spanish is 'burro'.

It's "oll eeeeeen"

I don't think poker hero means what you think it means. , but you did make lol , so ty
