Useful poker terms:
- TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
- BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
- LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
