- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
- BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
- KICKER TROUBLE - Not having as high a kicker as an opponent.
- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
- SHOWDOWN - The point at the end of the hand where all active players reveal their cards and the pot is awarded to the winner(s).
