- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- STRAIGHT FLUSH - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence and the same suit.
- FULL OF - Describes a full house. "Fives full of queens" is 5-5-5-Q-Q.
- 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".
