Poker terminology:

• OPENER - The player who opens the betting, especially in draw poker. A hand may have no openers, in which case it is PASSED OUT, i.e., new hands are dealt.
• SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
• SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
• FIFTH STREET - In stud poker, the fifth card to be dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the last card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is RIVER (q.v.).
• LATE POSITION - For a particular betting round, a player who does not have to act until most of the other players have acted.
• FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
