Poker jargon:
- BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
- RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
- 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".
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- OUT - [1] A card that will improve your hand, often substantially. A hand with many OUTS is preferable to a hand with only 1 or 2. [2] Folded, ineligible to bet or win this hand. "I'm out" is often a synonym for "I fold".
- ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
