- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
- DRAWING DEAD - A draw in which it is impossible to obtain a winning hand for any of a variety of reasons: an opponent's hand is better than whatever you are drawing to, the card(s) that make your hand are out of play, or (in Hold'em) give an opponent a stronger hand even if it makes yours. Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
