Poker terminology:
- 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.
- FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
- BIG BLIND - A blind bet, usually a raise of an earlier blind which would be called the SMALL BLIND. In limit poker, the BIG BLIND is usually the size of the minimum bet on the first round of betting.
- OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
- FLOP GAME - Any of a number of poker games where a flop is dealt.
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
