Poker lingo:
- BICYCLE - The best possible low hand: A-2-3-4-5. More common term: WHEEL.
- RAINBOW - In flop games, a flop in which no two cards are of the same suit. "The flop was A 9 7 rainbow."
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- COLD CALL - Calling both a bet and raise at the same time, as opposed to calling a bet then later calling a raise made after the call.
- BET - To put money into the pot, pursuant to the rules of the game, thus maintaining a chance of winning the pot.
