Poker slang:
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- OPENERS - Cards in a hand that qualify a player to open the betting.
- 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.)
- HIGH-LOW SPLIT - Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
- LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
- EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
