Casino poker language:
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
- FLOP - [1] In Hold'em, the first three community cards, dealt simultaneously. [2] To deal a flop, or to make a hand on a flop. "I flopped trips".
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- 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.
- SEVENTH STREET - The seventh card dealt in 7-card stud.
