Poker glossary:
- FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
- STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
- STAKE - The amount of a player's BUY-IN, or the amount of money they are willing to play with in a given session. Compare: BANKROLL.
- STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
