Poker lingo:
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
- FOLD - To decline to call a bet, thus dropping out of a hand.
- AMERICAN AIRLINES - In Hold'em, a pair of Aces in the hole. Better known (at least in rec.gambling) as POCKET ROCKETS.
- INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
