Poker lingo:
- ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
- FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
- FULL OF - Describes a full house. "Fives full of queens" is 5-5-5-Q-Q.
- COMMUNITY CARDS - Cards that are available for every player to use in making a hand. Usually dealt face up somewhere in the middle of the table.
- POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
