Poker glossary:
- SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
- COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- 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.
- TURN - The fourth community card in Hold'em.
- DOUBLE BELLY BUSTER - A two-way inside straight. E.g., 3-5-6-7-9.
