Giving beginners tips on playing poker is something every poker player has done, regardless of their own skill level. Sometimes the advice is sage, solid, and necessary. Other times, its foolish, weak, and ridiculous.

Poker argot:
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
- BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
- SUICIDE KING - King of Hearts. So named because in the drawing the king appears to be stabbing himself in the head.
- GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
- SHARK - A good/crafty player often posing as a fish early in the game.
- MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
