Poker lingo:
- UNDER THE GUN - The position that has to act first in a round of betting.
- EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
- NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
- OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
- STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
- SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
