FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
DOUBLE BELLY BUSTER - A two-way inside straight. E.g., 3-5-6-7-9.
POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
SHILL - A card room employee who plays with House money, and does not share in any of his (her) winnings or losses. Shills are used to facilitate starting games, and keeping them going. Compare: PROP.
