Casino poker language:

• SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
• PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
• FORCED BET - In some stud games a player may be required to make a bet to start the action on the first card. This is similar conceptually to blinds and antes, but in this case is dependent on the cards shown rather than player position. Usually the weakest hand is forced to bet.
• STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
• CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
• FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
