What does line mean?

[MikeR]

I keep seeing it in all the different fora, and I never heard the phrase a few months ago. What is this cool new poker jargon? Just how you play a hand?

[Praxis101]

"Line" is pretty much short for "Line of betting." As in general plays for each street of a particular hand.

"If I'm sure this player has X holdings, I'd use the following line: check-raies the flop, and fire on both the turn and the river."

Cool, thanks. So when I describe how I played a hand, is my explanation my line?

Right, what bets you placed on each round is your line and you explain your thinking during your line.
