Poker jargon:
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- ALL-IN - To have all of one's chips in the pot. A player who is all-in cannot be forced out of the pot by more betting, but is only eligible to win that portion of the pot he has contributed to. Generally, a SIDE POT is created each time a player is all-in.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
- SEMI-BLUFF - To bluff with a come hand that figures to win if it hits.
- POCKET PAIR - Generic Hold'em term for 2 hole cards of the same rank.
