Poker argot:

  • FAVORITE - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that figures to be the winner. Ant: UNDERDOG.
  • REBUY - [1] To purchase additional chips after an initial buy-in, usually after losing most or all of the previous buy-in. This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
  • 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.
  • LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
  • BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
  • FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
