Poker talk:

• RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
• LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
• STAKE - The amount of a player's BUY-IN, or the amount of money they are willing to play with in a given session. Compare: BANKROLL.
• STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
• TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
• RUSH - A winning streak. Also "ON A RUSH".
