Poker jargon:
- SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
- 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.
- SEMI-BLUFF - To bluff with a come hand that figures to win if it hits.
- RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
- PAT HAND - In draw poker, a hand that does not need any more cards. Specifically, a straight, flush, full house or straight flush. One might bluff and represent a pat hand but actually hold something else.
- TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
