- BAD GAME - Any game in which you figure to be the loser, because the other players are better than you.
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- HIT - To make a hand or catch a card or cards that improves one's hand. "I hit a gut-shot draw on the river."
- PROP - Also PROPOSITION PLAYER. An employee of the gaming establishment whose primary purpose is to keep enough players at a table to prevent breaking up the game for lack of players. Unlike SHILLs "props" make a small hourly wage but play with their own money, winning or losing based on their skill.
- 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.
