Poker terminology:
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
- FLOP - [1] In Hold'em, the first three community cards, dealt simultaneously. [2] To deal a flop, or to make a hand on a flop. "I flopped trips".
- RUNNER-RUNNER - A hand made using both of the last two cards dealt.
- MANIAC - A player who bets, raises and reraises without regard to the quality of his hand. Most often found in flop games.
- TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
- ALL-IN - To have all of one's chips in the pot. A player who is all-in cannot be forced out of the pot by more betting, but is only eligible to win that portion of the pot he has contributed to. Generally, a SIDE POT is created each time a player is all-in.
