The 2,000,000th post game

Seldom do I think more on the brevity of things than when seeing something like this on stage; the camera is equal parts blessing and curse.

Thats a man

Yikes

OPEN-ENDED
A straight completed from the outside by one of two possible cards. For example, if your pocket cards are 5-6 and the flop shows 4-7-king, either a 3 or an 8 on the turn or river would complete your open-ended straight. An open-ended straight is twice as likely to hit as a "gutshot."

ORBIT
After each player at a table has served as the dealer for a hand. Each time the button passes you is a complete orbit.

OUT
A card that will improve your hand. If all the money is in the middle, and you turn over a pair of kings and your opponent has a pair of aces, you need one of the two remaining kings - your two "outs" - to beat your opponent.

OVER-CARDS
Having cards higher than the board cards or your opponent's pocket. For example, if it's heads up and someone's all-in, the two remaining players would expose their cards. If it is a pair of sevens versus ace-king, the ace and king are referred to as "over-cards."

PAIR
Two cards of the same rank.

POCKET CARDS
The cards in your hand that are not part of the community cards. In hold'em, it's your two down cards. In Omaha, it's your four down cards. Also known as hole cards.

POT-COMMITTED
A situation that likely requires you to call due to the amount of money in the pot vis-a-vis your remaining stack of chips. In these situations, it makes no sense to fold.

POT-LIMIT
A structure of the game in which bets and raises are capped by the current size of the pot.

POT ODDS
The ratio of money in the pot compared to what you need to call to keep playing. For example, suppose there is $100 in the pot. Somebody bets $10, so the pot now contains $110. It costs you $10 to call, so your pot odds are 11-to-1. Do you think the odds of your hand being the best are better than 11-to-1? If so, you should call. Similarly, if you are getting the same 11-to-1 odds and you don't have a made hand but the odds of drawing to a better hand are greater than 11-to-1, it would also be correct to call.

QUADS
Four of a kind.

RAINBOW
In flop games, a flop in which no two cards are of the same suit. E.g., "The flop was an ace-9-7 rainbow."

RAKE
The amount that the house takes out of a poker hand.

RING GAME
A standard poker game in which money is wagered during each hand.

RIVER
The final of the five community cards.

ROCK
Slang for a "tight" player. A rock can sit at a table orbit after orbit without playing for a pot. When he enters a pot, you know he's got the goods.
