Poker argot:
- QUALIFIER - A minimum standard that a hand must meet in order to win. Usually applied to the lowball side of a high-low split pot.
- CHECK RAISE - To check initially, then raise a bet made later on in the same betting round. Frequently a sign of strength, but may be a bluff.
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
- WHITE BLACKBIRD - A hand so astonishingly rare as to be unworthy of the opponents' consideration, e.g., being dealt a pat royal flush in 5-card draw.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
