Poker lexicon:
- TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
- SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
- PAT HAND - In draw poker, a hand that does not need any more cards. Specifically, a straight, flush, full house or straight flush. One might bluff and represent a pat hand but actually hold something else.
