Poker lingo:
- 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.)
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- BICYCLE - The best possible low hand: A-2-3-4-5. More common term: WHEEL.
- BRODERICK CRAWFORD - In Hold'em, hole cards of 10-4. From the 1950s TV series "Highway Patrol", starring Broderick Crawford.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
- EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
