Poker slang:
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
- IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
- BAD GAME - Any game in which you figure to be the loser, because the other players are better than you.
- PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
