Poker argot:
- SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
- 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.
- NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
- ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
- PASS - Opposite of bet. To check, if checked to. To fold, if bet to.
