Poker argot:
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
- LIVE [CARD] - In Stud, a card probably not held by other players.
- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
- FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
