Poker jargon:
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
- TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
- RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
- COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
