Poker terminology:
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
- OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
- 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.
- READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
