Poker lingo:
- OFFSUIT - Not of the same suit. "I held A-Q offsuit" or "The flop was 10-6-2 offsuit". When speaking of 5 or more cards, not all/ of the same suit, i.e., no flush, as in "button had A-K-10-8-7 offsuit."
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
- FOUR OF A KIND - A hand containing all four cards of the same rank.
- SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
- AMERICAN AIRLINES - In Hold'em, a pair of Aces in the hole. Better known (at least in rec.gambling) as POCKET ROCKETS.
