Poker lingo:
- POCKET PAIR - Generic Hold'em term for 2 hole cards of the same rank.
- NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
- RAKE - Money taken from each pot and given to the house in return for hosting the game. Usually a percentage of the pot (5%-10%) up to some maximum amount.
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
