Poker slang:
- 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.
- SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
- 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.
- POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- DOUBLE BELLY BUSTER - A two-way inside straight. E.g., 3-5-6-7-9.
