Poker terminology:

  • 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.
  • MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
  • POCKET PAIR - Generic Hold'em term for 2 hole cards of the same rank.
  • ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
  • DRAWING DEAD - A draw in which it is impossible to obtain a winning hand for any of a variety of reasons: an opponent's hand is better than whatever you are drawing to, the card(s) that make your hand are out of play, or (in Hold'em) give an opponent a stronger hand even if it makes yours. Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
  • BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
