Poker jargon:
- LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
- GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
- TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
- SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
- BUTTON CHARGE - A periodic fee paid by whoever is the button, perhaps every 20 minutes or 30 minutes. Constitutes part or all of the HOUSE CUT.
