- BAD GAME - Any game in which you figure to be the loser, because the other players are better than you.
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
- TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
- LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
- ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
- HIGH-LOW SPLIT - Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
