During the construction of CypherPoker I've tried to stick as close to established Texas Hold'em naming conventions as possible. In a few instances, however, it was necessary to deviate from them in order to accommodate similarly named but functionally different pieces; these are explained below:
leader / dealer
To accommodate different game types the lounge defines an activity "leader" instead of a "dealer". In the context of a poker game, however, the activity "leader" is the "dealer" and the two are used equivalently.
cycle
A betting "cycle" is complete when all players have matched the highest current bet. This means that a community card(s) is about to be dealt or the game is about to be completed.
round
Often players will refer to playing a few "hands" of poker but since this terminology is used in hand analysis the term "round" is used instead. A "round" is defined as a completed final cycle of betting on completely dealt cards, or if all but one player have folded. When new player/private cards are dealt a new betting "round" begins.
game
A "game" is composed of multiple "rounds" and is complete when all but one player have a 0 balance or have dropped out. In non-buy-in/tournament play games continue indefinitely until all but one players have resigned.
