- BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- SUITED - Two or more cards all the same suit. Ant: OFF-SUIT.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
