Casino poker language:
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
- TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
- TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
- TURN - The fourth community card in Hold'em.
- SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
