- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
- SEVENTH STREET - The seventh card dealt in 7-card stud.
- INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
