Poker argot:
- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
- 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.
- WHEEL - A-2-3-4-5. Usually discussed in the context of lowball where it is the best possible hand. Can also refer to a 5-high straight in high games. Also: BICYCLE.
- PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
- NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
