Poker lexicon:
- 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.
- FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
- RIDER BACK (TM) - A brand of playing cards that feature a bicycle rider on the back of the cards. Often used in home games. Compare: BEE No. 92.
- LOCK - A hand that cannot be beat under any circumstances. Also: NUTS.
- RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
