Poker jargon:

• CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
• OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
• BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
• SEMI-BLUFF - To bluff with a come hand that figures to win if it hits.
• BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
