Poker jargon:
- PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
- AMERICAN AIRLINES - In Hold'em, a pair of Aces in the hole. Better known (at least in rec.gambling) as POCKET ROCKETS.
- OVERPAIR - In Hold'em, a pair in the hole that is larger than any community card on the board.
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
- FOURTH STREET - In stud poker, the fourth card dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the fourth community card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is TURN (q.v.).
- 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.)
