Poker argot:
- RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
- FOLD - To decline to call a bet, thus dropping out of a hand.
- BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
- STRING BET - An unethical and often illegal means of raising whereby a player puts a call-size stack of chips into the pot and, after observing the reactions of the players, then goes back to his stack and puts out more, thus raising.
- 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.
