Poker lingo:
- COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
- OPENER - The player who opens the betting, especially in draw poker. A hand may have no openers, in which case it is PASSED OUT, i.e., new hands are dealt.
- STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
- CHASE - To continue in a hand, often at poor odds, in the hopes of catching a much better hand. "He called, chasing the flush.".
