Poker in German?

[fringsrache]

"bringen" means "call" not "bet."
"odds" would be "Quoten".

Hi,

Lately I've been working on learning German, so naturally I was curious of the German equivalents for poker terminology. I found a German poker video and, much to my surprise, absolutely everything that directly related to poker was in English. From "big blind" to "raise" to "pot odds" to "full house" to "flush draw." Everything but the names of the cards themselves. So, can somebody explain this to me? I know that there are Spanish and French equivalents. Why aren't German words used for anything? Do you love us that much? ;-)

Us germans just generally tend to be more open towards english.

French people on the other hand are very paranoid about their language, even passing laws to enforce the protection of their language, french people are just crazy :P
