Poker argot:
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- CAP - To cap the betting is to make the last permitted raise in a round.
- 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.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
- FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
- MISDEAL - A hand dealt incorrectly that must be re-dealt.
