Casino poker language:
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
