Poker argot:
- SIDE POT - When an active player runs out of money during the course of a hand, the remaining players participate in a second or SIDE POT for the rest of the hand. Additional side pots are possible if several players run out of money at different points in a hand.
- EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
