A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
- ASSAULT RIFLE - In Omaha, hole cards that are A-K-4-7 of any suit(s).
- RAKE - Money taken from each pot and given to the house in return for hosting the game. Usually a percentage of the pot (5%-10%) up to some maximum amount.
- FREEROLL - [1] A poker tournament that does not charge a buy-in fee; players must earn buy-in credits through previous play at the same establishment. [2] Having a lock on part of a pot (sure to win a greater fraction of the pot than one is betting) and playing to win more or all of it.
