Poker jargon:
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- 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.
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
- STAKE - The amount of a player's BUY-IN, or the amount of money they are willing to play with in a given session. Compare: BANKROLL.
- 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.
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
