Poker talk:

BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
HOYLE - Edmund Hoyle (1769-?) was the authoritative source for rules of card games. Hoyle is to card rules as Webster is to word definitions.
OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
