Poker jargon:
- FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
- BET - To put money into the pot, pursuant to the rules of the game, thus maintaining a chance of winning the pot.
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
- TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
