Poker argot:
- PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
- LEAK - To show one's hole cards (often unknowingly).
- BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
- POSSIBLE [STRAIGHT/FLUSH] - Up cards that quite possibly could lead to a straight and/or a flush.
- TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
