Default Re: Poker in German?

[ QUOTE ]
You're overthinking it quite a bit here.

The (almost) exclusive use of english terminology isn't unique to German. In fact, I'd reckon most countries don't bother translating it.
The terms are easy, plus most poker rooms live and online have an "english only at the tables" rule.

Well, my only other experiences are with Spanish and French, both of which have their own words for most concepts in poker which are used regularly. However, at least in this particular German language video, English was used every time for all poker terms. I thought that was weird, so I figured I would look for some insight here.
