  • CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
  • TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
  • POCKET PAIR - Generic Hold'em term for 2 hole cards of the same rank.
  • COLD CALL - Calling both a bet and raise at the same time, as opposed to calling a bet then later calling a raise made after the call.

Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
  • OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
