Casino poker language:
- 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.
- WHEEL - A-2-3-4-5. Usually discussed in the context of lowball where it is the best possible hand. Can also refer to a 5-high straight in high games. Also: BICYCLE.
- 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".
- BAD GAME - Any game in which you figure to be the loser, because the other players are better than you.
- KICKER TROUBLE - Not having as high a kicker as an opponent.
- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
