Poker slang:
- HIGH-LOW SPLIT - Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
- RAIL - A barrier dividing the card playing area from a public area.
- PAT HAND - In draw poker, a hand that does not need any more cards. Specifically, a straight, flush, full house or straight flush. One might bluff and represent a pat hand but actually hold something else.
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
- 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.
