What I don't know

I just wanted to outline how little I actually know about poker.

I roughly know the order of winning hands, roughly I say, sometimes I just have to guess and go on my gut feeling. And I don't know the names of anything after the flop - though from PKR I have this voice in my head going "Here coooomes the river!", but I don't know what the river is. At the beginning, I thought it was just a joke anyway but now I've found out that it's when the dealer turns over one of the cards after the flop. Don't know which one yet.

But it's the etiquette of the game that intrigues me most.

If I played in real life, would people still sit around smoking cigars? Probably not in a casino or anything, but at someone's house?

And do they say "I'll see your hundred and raise you four hundred"? Apparently that's not allowed, so I'm not sure exactly where that phrase came from.

Maybe once I understand these things, I can go to a real game.
