Poker lingo:
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
- EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
