Casino poker language:
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- LAY ODDS - To give favorable odds to an opponent.
- DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
- ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
- BOAT - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
- MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
