• STRING BET - An unethical and often illegal means of raising whereby a player puts a call-size stack of chips into the pot and, after observing the reactions of the players, then goes back to his stack and puts out more, thus raising.
• HOOK - A Jack. So named because the "J" resembles a hook.
• NO-LIMIT POKER - A game where there is no maximum bet; a player can wager any amount (perhaps above some minimum) up to whatever money is on the table in front of him.
• MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
• LOWBALL - Generic term for poker where the lowest hand wins.
• BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
