Poker lexicon:
- 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.
- FOURTH STREET - In stud poker, the fourth card dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the fourth community card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is TURN (q.v.).
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- OVERPAIR - In Hold'em, a pair in the hole that is larger than any community card on the board.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
