Casino poker language:
- BLACK - When referring to chips, black usually stands for $100 casino chips. "This guy sits down with a stack of blacks and raises the first bet." Not ALL casinos use black for $100 but that is the common usage.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
- HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- MANIAC - A player who bets, raises and reraises without regard to the quality of his hand. Most often found in flop games.
