Immediate service

I enjoy listening to good poker commentary. When you listen to a good commentator often enough, not only do you gain valuable poker insights, but you also get to know the personality of the commentator. Very often, he or she will have certain pet phrases which you'll look forward to hearing.

One of my favorite poker commentators is Nick Wealthall. He provides commentary for online tournaments on PokerStars. One  phrase I really like which he uses quite often is "immediate service"; it refers to hitting a straight or flush draw as soon as possible, in other words on the turn.

Last night, I hit the felt at the end of a long and somewhat frustrating session. The reason is was long was the same as the reason it was somewhat frustrating - I was playing fairly well, but wasn't getting many premium hands. On the final hand, I was up against an opponent who had both a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw; he got "immediate service" when he filled his gutshot on the turn.
