Poker argot:
- FULL OF - Describes a full house. "Fives full of queens" is 5-5-5-Q-Q.
- 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.)
- FOLD - To decline to call a bet, thus dropping out of a hand.
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- OUT - [1] A card that will improve your hand, often substantially. A hand with many OUTS is preferable to a hand with only 1 or 2. [2] Folded, ineligible to bet or win this hand. "I'm out" is often a synonym for "I fold".
