Useful poker terms:
- KICKER TROUBLE - Not having as high a kicker as an opponent.
- RUSH - A winning streak. Also "ON A RUSH".
- UNDERDOG - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that does not figure to be the winner. Ant: FAVORITE.
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- RERAISE - To raise after an opponent has raised.
- POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
