- RAINBOW - In flop games, a flop in which no two cards are of the same suit. "The flop was A 9 7 rainbow."
- FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
- POT - The total amount of money bet so far in a hand.
- ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
- 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.
