Poker lingo:
- COMMUNITY CARDS - Cards that are available for every player to use in making a hand. Usually dealt face up somewhere in the middle of the table.
- 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.
- SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
- LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
- STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
