Poker jargon:
- TOKE - Gambling term for "tip", as in "Toke the cocktail waitress". Comes from the term "Token of appreciation".
- CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- TAP - In no-limit games, to wager all of one's money in one bet.
- ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
