Useful poker information:
- TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
- KICKER TROUBLE - Not having as high a kicker as an opponent.
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- OPENER - The player who opens the betting, especially in draw poker. A hand may have no openers, in which case it is PASSED OUT, i.e., new hands are dealt.
