Useful poker information:

• 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.
• MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
• FOLD - To decline to call a bet, thus dropping out of a hand.
• LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
• 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.
• SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
