Poker jargon:
- NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
- DRAWING DEAD - A draw in which it is impossible to obtain a winning hand for any of a variety of reasons: an opponent's hand is better than whatever you are drawing to, the card(s) that make your hand are out of play, or (in Hold'em) give an opponent a stronger hand even if it makes yours. Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- BICYCLE - The best possible low hand: A-2-3-4-5. More common term: WHEEL.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
