Poker jargon:
- LIVE [CARD] - In Stud, a card probably not held by other players.
- BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
- TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
- OVERPAIR - In Hold'em, a pair in the hole that is larger than any community card on the board.
- TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
