Useful poker information:
- BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- QUARTER - [1] Twenty-five dollars, often symbolized by a green casino chip. [2] To divide half a pot between two tying hands. In split pot games, a player who "ties" another player for their half of the pot is said to be "quartered". One might say "I didn't bet my A-2 because I figured I'd get quartered".
- SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- MANIAC - A player who bets, raises and reraises without regard to the quality of his hand. Most often found in flop games.
- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
