- FLOP GAME - Any of a number of poker games where a flop is dealt.
- LITTLE SLICK - In Hold'em, hole cards of A-2, suited or not.
- BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
