Poker argot:
- STUD - Any of several poker games in which some of each players' cards are exposed.
- STUCK - Down a nontrivial amount of money, as in "he's stuck $800".
- GOOD GAME - A game with players worse than you so that you can expect to win a lot of money.
- 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.
- BUTTON - A distinctive token held by the player sitting in the theoretical dealer's position, when a house dealer is used. The button rotates around the table so that every player has an opportunity to be the last to act. Also, "THE BUTTON" can refer to the player who currently has the button. ("I was the button and called the blind".) Synonyms: BUCK, PUCK.
- BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
