Add-On: Kind of like a rebuy, but in some tourneys you can 'add-on' more chips without being totally out of chips.

Bounty: A bonus paid for breaking a player. I use a bounty on the last tourney winner to encourage someone to try to take them out. You can also set bounties on every player, like a bonus for eliminating someone.

Bring-In: A forced bet in stud games after the initial cards are dealt;
similar to an ante but required of only one player

fixed limit: Fixed-Limit is another way to say Limit Poker. There are set bets.

spread limit: A spread limit game is a hybrid of a limit and a no limit game. Players may bet anywhere from a minimum to maximum bet.

pot limit: The minimum bet is structured like in Limit Poker, and the maximum bet is the amount of money in the pot.

mixed limit: I believe this is a tourney that uses multiple limit versions. Again back to my game, I start the 1st hour at limit then go no limit. Get's the newbe's feet wet without them risking it all.

JB's got it.

If you are playing Hold'em or Omaha, you wouldn't use the bring-in. That's for 7-card stud and others that use it.
