Poker jargon:
- BET - To put money into the pot, pursuant to the rules of the game, thus maintaining a chance of winning the pot.
- 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.".
- ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
- 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.
- KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
