Poker lingo:
- ALL-IN - To have all of one's chips in the pot. A player who is all-in cannot be forced out of the pot by more betting, but is only eligible to win that portion of the pot he has contributed to. Generally, a SIDE POT is created each time a player is all-in.
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- OFFSUIT - Not of the same suit. "I held A-Q offsuit" or "The flop was 10-6-2 offsuit". When speaking of 5 or more cards, not all/ of the same suit, i.e., no flush, as in "button had A-K-10-8-7 offsuit."
- STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
