Useful poker information:
- SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
- POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
- LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
