Poker dictionary:

  • PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
  • STRAIGHT FLUSH - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence and the same suit.
  • SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
  • FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
  • IMPLIED ODDS - A refinement to POT ODDS which includes money not yet in the pot. Considers the potential extra bets and winnings made when a player forms a very good hand.
  • SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
