Poker jargon:
- SCOOP - To take all of a pot that is normally split, either by winning both halves outright or winning one half when no players qualify for the other half.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- WALK - A pot won by the last blind when no one opens.
- SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
- DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
