Poker argot:
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
- POT ODDS - The amount of money in the pot divided by the amount of money you must bet in order to call. Often used to determine if a pot offers enough reward to play on the come.
- FLOP GAME - Any of a number of poker games where a flop is dealt.
- PROP - Also PROPOSITION PLAYER. An employee of the gaming establishment whose primary purpose is to keep enough players at a table to prevent breaking up the game for lack of players. Unlike SHILLs "props" make a small hourly wage but play with their own money, winning or losing based on their skill.
- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
