Poker talk:
- SPREAD LIMIT - A variation on fixed limit wherein the minimum and maximum bets are different. A 1-4-8 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds and 1-8 in the last round. A 1-4-8-16 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds, 1 to 8 in the next-to-last round, and 1 to 16 in the last round.
- NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
- RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
