Useful poker terms:

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.
RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
LOWBALL - Generic term for poker where the lowest hand wins.
