Poker argot:
- 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.
- RIDER BACK (TM) - A brand of playing cards that feature a bicycle rider on the back of the cards. Often used in home games. Compare: BEE No. 92.
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
- UNDER THE GUN - The position that has to act first in a round of betting.
- LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
- WALK - A pot won by the last blind when no one opens.
