Poker lexicon:

FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.
SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
COLD CALL - Calling both a bet and raise at the same time, as opposed to calling a bet then later calling a raise made after the call.
