Poker glossary:
- 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.
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
- SIXTH STREET - The sixth card dealt in 7-card stud.
- BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
