Poker terminology:
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- SIDE POT - When an active player runs out of money during the course of a hand, the remaining players participate in a second or SIDE POT for the rest of the hand. Additional side pots are possible if several players run out of money at different points in a hand.
- DEAD MAN'S HAND - Generically: two pair, aces and eights. Specifically: the black aces, black eights and nine of diamonds. The hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot to death.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
- TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
