RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
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.
FAVORITE - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that figures to be the winner. Ant: UNDERDOG.
SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
RAKE - Money taken from each pot and given to the house in return for hosting the game. Usually a percentage of the pot (5%-10%) up to some maximum amount.
TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
