Poker terminology:
- LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
- FAVORITE - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that figures to be the winner. Ant: UNDERDOG.
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- OUT - [1] A card that will improve your hand, often substantially. A hand with many OUTS is preferable to a hand with only 1 or 2. [2] Folded, ineligible to bet or win this hand. "I'm out" is often a synonym for "I fold".
- STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
