Casino poker language:
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
- BET - To put money into the pot, pursuant to the rules of the game, thus maintaining a chance of winning the pot.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
- HOYLE - Edmund Hoyle (1769-?) was the authoritative source for rules of card games. Hoyle is to card rules as Webster is to word definitions.
