Poker argot:
- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- QUALIFIER - A minimum standard that a hand must meet in order to win. Usually applied to the lowball side of a high-low split pot.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
