Poker lexicon:
- FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
- HOLE CARDS - In Stud and Hold'em, the face-down cards dealt to each player.
- OVERPAIR - In Hold'em, a pair in the hole that is larger than any community card on the board.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
