Poker argot:

• PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
• BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
• FIFTH STREET - In stud poker, the fifth card to be dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the last card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is RIVER (q.v.).
• BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
• STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
• 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.
