A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- LIVE [CARD] - In Stud, a card probably not held by other players.
- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
- RAKE - Money taken from each pot and given to the house in return for hosting the game. Usually a percentage of the pot (5%-10%) up to some maximum amount.
