- KICKER TROUBLE - Not having as high a kicker as an opponent.
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
- LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
