Poker glossary:
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
- OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
- WHEEL - A-2-3-4-5. Usually discussed in the context of lowball where it is the best possible hand. Can also refer to a 5-high straight in high games. Also: BICYCLE.
- BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
- BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
