Poker lingo:
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
- REPRESENT - Implying, by one's betting style, that one has a particular hand.
- 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.
- BUTTON - A distinctive token held by the player sitting in the theoretical dealer's position, when a house dealer is used. The button rotates around the table so that every player has an opportunity to be the last to act. Also, "THE BUTTON" can refer to the player who currently has the button. ("I was the button and called the blind".) Synonyms: BUCK, PUCK.
- POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
- KICKER TROUBLE - Not having as high a kicker as an opponent.
