Poker jargon:

FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
RUSH - A winning streak. Also "ON A RUSH".
CAP - To cap the betting is to make the last permitted raise in a round.
RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
