  • OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
  • SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
  • LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
  • PROP - Also PROPOSITION PLAYER. An employee of the gaming establishment whose primary purpose is to keep enough players at a table to prevent breaking up the game for lack of players. Unlike SHILLs "props" make a small hourly wage but play with their own money, winning or losing based on their skill.
  • ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
