Useful poker information:

DRAWING DEAD - A draw in which it is impossible to obtain a winning hand for any of a variety of reasons: an opponent's hand is better than whatever you are drawing to, the card(s) that make your hand are out of play, or (in Hold'em) give an opponent a stronger hand even if it makes yours. Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
