Poker terminology:
- FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
- INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- POT ODDS - The amount of money in the pot divided by the amount of money you must bet in order to call. Often used to determine if a pot offers enough reward to play on the come.
