Poker terminology:
- HIT - To make a hand or catch a card or cards that improves one's hand. "I hit a gut-shot draw on the river."
- BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
- CHECK RAISE - To check initially, then raise a bet made later on in the same betting round. Frequently a sign of strength, but may be a bluff.
- LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
- 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.)
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
