Poker terminology:
- GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
- FREE CARD - A card dealt after all players checked in a betting round.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
- LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
- 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.
