Poker argot:
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
- AMERICAN AIRLINES - In Hold'em, a pair of Aces in the hole. Better known (at least in rec.gambling) as POCKET ROCKETS.
- FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
- REPRESENT - Implying, by one's betting style, that one has a particular hand.
