Poker jargon:
- LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
- 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.
- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- FOUR OF A KIND - A hand containing all four cards of the same rank.
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
