- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.

- ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
