Poker (Limit The amount agreed upon)

Limit: The amount agreed upon, before the game, of any single bet or raise.

Making Good: Putting up chips equal to the largest amount previously bet.

Open: To make the first bet in a Jack Pot.

Original Hand: The five cards originally dealt to a player.

Pat Hand: An original hand which is not likely to be improved by drawing; as a straight; a flush; or a full hand.

Pass: Laying down one's hand and retiring from the game for that deal.

Pot: The pool.

Raise: Betting more than the amount previously bet; going better.

Say: The player's turn to make good, raise, or pass. See: Same as making good.

Stay: The same as coming in.

Straddle: To double the blind. Only the player to the left of the age may straddle, but the next player may straddle the straddle and so on within the agreed limit. The total amount of the straddle must never exceed onehalf the limit, because the ante must be double the amount of the last straddle.

The saddest word of all that's tough Is to be called when on a bluff.
