Poker glossary:
- STUD - Any of several poker games in which some of each players' cards are exposed.
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
