Main Game ( poker )
1) In a card room, the game with the highest stakes, or (sometimes)
with the most action.
Sometimes when a regular player first sits down to play, he
may ask, "Is this the main game?" He means that he
hopes the
players are gambling or otherwise giving action. Sometimes the
question is asked facetiously,
when the player sits down in what is obviously a dead spread,
that is, a game full of mostly
house players or what seems to be a game with little action.
2) The game to which players must move from a forced-move game.
3) The more desirable of two (or more) games of the same form
of poker at the same stakes.
