Poker talk:
- BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
- LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
- LOCK - A hand that cannot be beat under any circumstances. Also: NUTS.
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
