Poker terminology:
- BIG SLICK - In Texas Hold'em, hole cards of A-K, suited or not.
- 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.
- LIVE [CARD] - In Stud, a card probably not held by other players.
- LOCK - A hand that cannot be beat under any circumstances. Also: NUTS.
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
