- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- MANIAC - A player who bets, raises and reraises without regard to the quality of his hand. Most often found in flop games.
- JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
