Useful poker information:
- 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.
- STUD - Any of several poker games in which some of each players' cards are exposed.
- AMERICAN AIRLINES - In Hold'em, a pair of Aces in the hole. Better known (at least in rec.gambling) as POCKET ROCKETS.
- JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
