Poker glossary:
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate 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.".
- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
- TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
- BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
- RAKE - Money taken from each pot and given to the house in return for hosting the game. Usually a percentage of the pot (5%-10%) up to some maximum amount.
