- BUTTON - A distinctive token held by the player sitting in the theoretical dealer's position, when a house dealer is used.

("I was the button and called the blind".) Synonyms: BUCK, PUCK.
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
- EXPECTATION - The long-run [dis-]advantage of a given situation, specifically without reference to any particular outcome. I.e., what you figure to win [lose] on average after a large number of repetitions of the same situation.
- AMERICAN AIRLINES - In Hold'em, a pair of Aces in the hole. Better known (at least in rec.gambling) as POCKET ROCKETS.
- ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
- COLD CALL - Calling both a bet and raise at the same time, as opposed to calling a bet then later calling a raise made after the call.
