Poker jargon:
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
- 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".
- FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
- RUSH - A winning streak. Also "ON A RUSH".
- MAIN POT - The main pot, as related to one or more side pots, when there are one or more all-in player(s). The main pot is the one in which all active players participate.
