Poker lingo:
- ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
- OPEN - Make the first bet in a hand, especially in draw poker.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- HOUSE RULE - Rules and interpretations (e.g., use of wild cards, or rules on having to show beaten hands) that are specific to an establishment or even tables within the establishment.
