Playboy Enterprises Inc. will use poker software from CryptoLogic Inc. to run its Internet poker web site, the companies announced Monday.

DRAW OUT - To catch a card that improves your situation from a losing hand to a winning hand, especially when you beat someone holding a hand that usually figures to win.
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.
LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
HIGH-LOW SPLIT - Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
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.
