Poker glossary:
- 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.
- OPEN - Make the first bet in a hand, especially in draw poker.
- FOLD - To decline to call a bet, thus dropping out of a hand.
- WHEEL - A-2-3-4-5. Usually discussed in the context of lowball where it is the best possible hand. Can also refer to a 5-high straight in high games. Also: BICYCLE.
- HOUSE RULE - Rules and interpretations (e.g., use of wild cards, or rules on having to show beaten hands) that are specific to an establishment or even tables within the establishment.
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
