EDGE - An advantage over an opponent, either specific or subjective.
POT - The total amount of money bet so far in a hand.
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.
STACKED [DECK] - A deck that has been arranged to give one player a huge advantage. Also: RIGGED.
