FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
FOLD - To decline to call a bet, thus dropping out of a hand.
OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
STRING BET - An unethical and often illegal means of raising whereby a player puts a call-size stack of chips into the pot and, after observing the reactions of the players, then goes back to his stack and puts out more, thus raising.
CHECK RAISE - To check initially, then raise a bet made later on in the same betting round. Frequently a sign of strength, but may be a bluff.
