Poker talk:
- BIG BLIND - A blind bet, usually a raise of an earlier blind which would be called the SMALL BLIND. In limit poker, the BIG BLIND is usually the size of the minimum bet on the first round of betting.
- PAT HAND - In draw poker, a hand that does not need any more cards. Specifically, a straight, flush, full house or straight flush. One might bluff and represent a pat hand but actually hold something else.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
- 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.
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
