Poker argot:
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
- 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.
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
