Poker argot:

RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
FOURTH STREET - In stud poker, the fourth card dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the fourth community card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is TURN (q.v.).
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.
RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
