Poker lingo:
- FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
- NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
- FLOP GAME - Any of a number of poker games where a flop is dealt.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
