Poker terminology:
- 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.
- SIDE POT - When an active player runs out of money during the course of a hand, the remaining players participate in a second or SIDE POT for the rest of the hand. Additional side pots are possible if several players run out of money at different points in a hand.
- 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.
- FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
- JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
