- DOUBLE BELLY BUSTER - A two-way inside straight. E.g., 3-5-6-7-9.
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
