Casino poker language:
- TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
- PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
- SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
- SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
- 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.
