Poker talk:

• SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
• BRODERICK CRAWFORD - In Hold'em, hole cards of 10-4. From the 1950s TV series "Highway Patrol", starring Broderick Crawford.
• PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
• READ - To determine whether an opponent has a good, medium or bad hand by observing his personal behavior. An inexact science.
• AMERICAN AIRLINES - In Hold'em, a pair of Aces in the hole. Better known (at least in rec.gambling) as POCKET ROCKETS.
• GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
