Poker argot:
- FLOP GAME - Any of a number of poker games where a flop is dealt.
- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- ALL-IN - To have all of one's chips in the pot. A player who is all-in cannot be forced out of the pot by more betting, but is only eligible to win that portion of the pot he has contributed to. Generally, a SIDE POT is created each time a player is all-in.
