Poker argot:
- TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
- BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
- LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
- CHASE - To continue in a hand, often at poor odds, in the hopes of catching a much better hand. "He called, chasing the flush.".
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- FOUR OF A KIND - A hand containing all four cards of the same rank.
