Poker terminology:

SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
OPEN - Make the first bet in a hand, especially in draw poker.
NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
RUNNER-RUNNER - A hand made using both of the last two cards dealt.
