Poker talk:
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight which can be completed by drawing a card at either end. E.g., 6-7-8-9 is an open-ended straight. Also: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT. Compare: INSIDE STRAIGHT.
- BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
- 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).
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
