Poker glossary:
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
- FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
