- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
- INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
- SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
