- PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
- SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
