Poker slang:

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.
CHECK RAISE - To check initially, then raise a bet made later on in the same betting round. Frequently a sign of strength, but may be a bluff.
SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
COLD CALL - Calling both a bet and raise at the same time, as opposed to calling a bet then later calling a raise made after the call.
