HIGH-LOW SPLIT - Forms of poker in which the pot is split between the best hand and best lowball hand.
BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
MANIAC - A player who bets, raises and reraises without regard to the quality of his hand. Most often found in flop games.
HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
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.
SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
