- LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- CARDS SPEAK - Winner(s) of the hand are determined by turning their cards face up, the best hand(s) wins (no declaration).
- NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
