Poker glossary:
- GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
- FREE CARD - A card dealt after all players checked in a betting round.
- SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
- 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.
- FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
