Poker lexicon:
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
- TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
- PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
