Poker terminology:
- THIRD STREET - In Stud, the third card dealt to each player.
- FULL OF - Describes a full house. "Fives full of queens" is 5-5-5-Q-Q.
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
- ALL-IN - To have all of one's chips in the pot. A player who is all-in cannot be forced out of the pot by more betting, but is only eligible to win that portion of the pot he has contributed to. Generally, a SIDE POT is created each time a player is all-in.
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
