Poker jargon:
- DOYLE BRUNSON - In Hold'em, 10-2 in the hole. So named because Doyle Brunson won two straight WSOPs (q.v.) in 1975 and 1976 with 10-2 on the last hand. (Suited (spades) in 1975, unsuited in 1976).
- LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
- BAD GAME - Any game in which you figure to be the loser, because the other players are better than you.
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- BICYCLE - The best possible low hand: A-2-3-4-5. More common term: WHEEL.
- 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.
