Poker lingo:
- BACK DOOR - Applies to a hand that was made in the last card or two, specifically not a hand the player was originally planning on having. Most often applied to straights and flushes.
- FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
- POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
- TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
- NO-LIMIT POKER - A game where there is no maximum bet; a player can wager any amount (perhaps above some minimum) up to whatever money is on the table in front of him.
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
