Poker jargon:
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
- SHOWDOWN - The point at the end of the hand where all active players reveal their cards and the pot is awarded to the winner(s).
- LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
- RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
