- RUSH - A winning streak. Also "ON A RUSH".
- 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.
- BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
