Poker talk:

  • BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
  • 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".
  • RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
  • FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
  • GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
  • ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
