Poker lingo:
- ALL-IN - To have all of one's chips in the pot. A player who is all-in cannot be forced out of the pot by more betting, but is only eligible to win that portion of the pot he has contributed to. Generally, a SIDE POT is created each time a player is all-in.
- ASSAULT RIFLE - In Omaha, hole cards that are A-K-4-7 of any suit(s).
- LITTLE SLICK - In Hold'em, hole cards of A-2, suited or not.
- SPREAD LIMIT - A variation on fixed limit wherein the minimum and maximum bets are different. A 1-4-8 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds and 1-8 in the last round. A 1-4-8-16 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds, 1 to 8 in the next-to-last round, and 1 to 16 in the last round.
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
