Poker argot:
- FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
- STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
- BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
