Useful poker information:
- FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
- BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
- SIDE POT - When an active player runs out of money during the course of a hand, the remaining players participate in a second or SIDE POT for the rest of the hand. Additional side pots are possible if several players run out of money at different points in a hand.
- TAP - In no-limit games, to wager all of one's money in one bet.
- BAD GAME - Any game in which you figure to be the loser, because the other players are better than you.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
