Quads

In the game of poker, and possibly other card games, the term "Quads" means a player has four of the same card rank, or four-of-a-kind.

I didn't think much of my pocket snowmen until I flopped a set of 8's and then got quads on the river -- I knew I had the best hand.

Running Bad

Used in the game of Poker, "Running Bad" is used to describe a player who is losing badly at the table, often by a fish.

With three fish at this table, I can't believe Jason is the only one running badly.

cheat the pocket

A term used in pocket billiards (or pool) that refers to hitting a ball with hard left or right English so as to create an angle off the cue ball on an otherwise straight-in shot.

The reason this is called "cheating" the pocket is because you are taking away the natural flow that cue ball would ordinarily travel (to the pocket) by altering the shot.

He left himself straight in -- he's gonna have to cheat the pocket to get to his next ball.

Short Stack

In the game of Poker, a player who has a small (or smallest) amount of chips at the table is said to be have the "Short Stack" or be "Short-Stacked."

You often see short-stacked players go all in if they have at least one overcard or any pocket pair.

Phil Hellmuth, after mucking his hand on tilt, found himself short stacked.

Glenn was a serious Nascar fan, and he even had a tattered coozy with Dale Earnhardt Jr's number on it to prove it.

Tab Out

"Tab Out" is a term commonly used in nightclubs and bars that a patron and/or server uses to indicate that it's time to pay the tab (the bill).

This is not to be confused with the term pay up, but it is similar to settle up and pay out.

Hey Bill, I'm gonna tab out after I have one more shot of Jaeger.
