Poker slang:
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- MANIAC - A player who bets, raises and reraises without regard to the quality of his hand. Most often found in flop games.
- 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.
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- UNDER THE GUN - The position that has to act first in a round of betting.
