Useful poker information:
- RAIL - A barrier dividing the card playing area from a public area.
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- SHOWDOWN - The point at the end of the hand where all active players reveal their cards and the pot is awarded to the winner(s).
- WHITE BLACKBIRD - A hand so astonishingly rare as to be unworthy of the opponents' consideration, e.g., being dealt a pat royal flush in 5-card draw.
- BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
- LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
