Poker argot:
- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
- COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
- 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".
- RAINBOW - In flop games, a flop in which no two cards are of the same suit. "The flop was A 9 7 rainbow."
- SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
