Useful poker information:
- SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
- SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
- SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
- TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- BAD GAME - Any game in which you figure to be the loser, because the other players are better than you.
