Useful poker information:
- OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight which can be completed by drawing a card at either end. E.g., 6-7-8-9 is an open-ended straight. Also: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT. Compare: INSIDE STRAIGHT.
- EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
- REPRESENT - Implying, by one's betting style, that one has a particular hand.
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
