Poker jargon:
- POCKET PAIR - Generic Hold'em term for 2 hole cards of the same rank.
- 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.
- TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
- FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
- SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
- SIXTH STREET - The sixth card dealt in 7-card stud.
