Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
FOUR OF A KIND - A hand containing all four cards of the same rank.
FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
