Useful poker information:
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- CUT - To break the deck into 2 stacks of at least 5 cards each. Usually performed by the player to the dealer's right to insure that the the deck is not stacked.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- 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.
- TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
