- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- TURN - The fourth community card in Hold'em.
- NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
- BAD GAME - Any game in which you figure to be the loser, because the other players are better than you.
- MISDEAL - A hand dealt incorrectly that must be re-dealt.
