  • BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
  • LOWBALL - Generic term for poker where the lowest hand wins.
  • POSSIBLE [STRAIGHT/FLUSH] - Up cards that quite possibly could lead to a straight and/or a flush.
  • MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
  • ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
  • GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
