Poker lingo:
- COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
- MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
- BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
- POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
