PokerTime to Send Player to World Series of Poker
The only thing separating the kitchen table from the World Series of Poker is the stakes - a couple bucks at one, millions at the other - and possibly a few television cameras. Unlike other sports, where the ball moves faster and the hits are harder on the professional level, poker is the same across the board.

Poker argot:
- INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
- OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
- OPENER - The player who opens the betting, especially in draw poker. A hand may have no openers, in which case it is PASSED OUT, i.e., new hands are dealt.
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
- 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.
