Hey Snoopy,

Different publications do it differently but this is copied from WPT Magazine's style guide.

No Limit Texas Hold'em
Four capitals – no space, hyphen or cap ‘E’ in the middle of Hold’em. Caps are still needed on the shorter No Limit if you are using the phrase to mean that variant of the game – as in this tactic really only pays dividends in No Limit games

I voted for no-limit hold'em, but I meant to vote for no-limit hold 'em. I don't see why it should get caps - does any other game? (Apart from trademarked ones). Obviously Texas hold 'em or Omaha though.

Nice post anyway, I do like a bit of pedantry on a Monday morning.

Just out of curiosity, do you guys ever use capital letters for 'main event', 'omaha' or 'flop', 'turn' and 'river'.

Also, is it pre-flop or preflop, re-raise or reraise, etc?

Omaha has to have caps as it's presumably named after the place. Like Texas hold 'em. Main event could be capped if referring to a specific main event which is given the title "Main Event", eg the WSOP Main Event. But not capped if you're just referring to, say, the generic main event of a festival which might not have a specific title.

No reason why flop etc should have caps.

Obviously though there's other considerations involved in drawing up a style guide than just grammatical correctness, which is why a poker publication might choose always to cap some of these words - clarity, ease of reading etc. I'd be very surprised if a major newspaper or general publication capped hold 'em though, as it would make it a glaring exception to the rules of their style guide without any good reason.

Should probably be pre-flop when used as an adjective (as in 'he made a pre-flop raise'). Same as eg 'the pre-war years'. When saying 'he raised before the flop' (not an adjective here, some sort of adverbial phrase I guess) it should arguably be 'pre flop' with no hyphen. Or just write 'before the flop' to avoid the problem.

Reraise rather than re-raise - generally re- words are only hyphenated when the verb that you're doing again begins with an 'e'. Cos otherwise it looks a bit funny and reads badly. 'He reenlisted in the army', for instance, would read as 'reen...' rather than 're en', so it's re-enlisted instead. Though in the poker sense there might be an argument for re-raise being standard, as otherwise you have a problem if you want to write re-re-raise... You can't write rereraise, and re-reraise looks a bit daft.

The Economist style guide is (along with the Times' guide) pretty much the bible (no caps, of course, when used in this sense...) for such matters - a bit of it is here, and is pretty useful. http://www.economist.com/research/StyleGuide/

Hope that's helpful!
