Poker slang:
- BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
- 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.
- STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
- RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
