Poker dictionary:
- 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.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- UNDER THE GUN - The position that has to act first in a round of betting.
- BEE No. 92 (TM) - Trade name for the "diamond back" cards frequently used in casino games. Compare: RIDER BACK.
- CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
- LOCK - A hand that cannot be beat under any circumstances. Also: NUTS.
