Poker jargon:

ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
