Useful poker terms:

TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
OMAHA - A variant of Hold'em where each player receives 4 hole cards and must use exactly two of them (together with 3 of 5 board cards) to make a hand. Often played high-low split with an 8 qualifier for low.
ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
COMPUTER HAND - Texas Hold'em hole cards of Q-7 offsuit. More generically, any hand that computer analysis/simulation determines is positive but turns out to be difficult to play in practice.
