Poker lexicon:
- LITTLE SLICK - In Hold'em, hole cards of A-2, suited or not.
- BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
- 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.
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
- ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
