Poker slang:
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
- TRIP - Three of a specific kind, as in "Trip sixes".
- EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
- CHASE - To continue in a hand, often at poor odds, in the hopes of catching a much better hand. "He called, chasing the flush.".
- STEAM - Playing wildly, calling and raising a lot, because one is upset. Compare: ON TILT.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
