A card that may well turn the best hand into trash. If you have T ♣-8♣ and the flop comes Q♦-J♦-9 ♠, you almost assuredly have the best hand. However, a turn card of T ♦ would be very scary because it would almost guar-antee that you are now beaten.

As in "sell a hand." In a spread-limit game, this means betting less than the maximum when you have a very strong hand, hoping players will call whereas they would not have called a maximum bet.

A powerful concept first discussed by David Sklansky. It is a bet or raise that you hope will not be called, but you have some outs if it is. A semi-bluff may be correct when betting for value is not correct, a pure bluff is not correct, but the combination of the two may be a positive expectation play. Example: you have K♠-Q♠, and the flop is T♥-5 ♠-J♣. If you bet now, it's a semi-bluff. You probably don't have the best hand, and you'd like to see your opponents fold immediately. Nevertheless, if you do get callers, you could still improve to the best hand.
