Poker jargon:
- POSSIBLE [STRAIGHT/FLUSH] - Up cards that quite possibly could lead to a straight and/or a flush.
- SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
- OPEN - Make the first bet in a hand, especially in draw poker.
- SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
- FOUR OF A KIND - A hand containing all four cards of the same rank.
- FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
