Poker argot:
- SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
- POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
- 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.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- REBUY - [1] To purchase additional chips after an initial buy-in, usually after losing most or all of the previous buy-in. This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
