Poker argot:
- PAT HAND - In draw poker, a hand that does not need any more cards. Specifically, a straight, flush, full house or straight flush. One might bluff and represent a pat hand but actually hold something else.
- JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
