Poker glossary:
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
- WALK - A pot won by the last blind when no one opens.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
- SHOWDOWN - The point at the end of the hand where all active players reveal their cards and the pot is awarded to the winner(s).
