Poker glossary:
- LIVE [CARD] - In Stud, a card probably not held by other players.
- DOYLE BRUNSON - In Hold'em, 10-2 in the hole. So named because Doyle Brunson won two straight WSOPs (q.v.) in 1975 and 1976 with 10-2 on the last hand. (Suited (spades) in 1975, unsuited in 1976).
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
- LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
