little slick

Derived from the Texas Hold 'Em hand big slick, having your two hole cards as an ace and a duce.

Consequently, not a very good hand, unless you're heads-up

I can't believe I won with little slick. I was sure someone would have a better kicker on the ace.

heads-up

A term in many competitive games for 1 on 1 competition. One of its more common uses is in card games where the value of hands can change due to the number of people playing. Heads-up offers favoriable odds for high cards like aces and kings, even with sub-par kickers.

I went heads-up with Tyler and beat him with a boat on the river.

keine ups

Derived from the German word "keine" meaning none, and the urban term "ups" meaning an ability to jump. In the combined form it means any failure or the state of being a failure.

Person 1: *does something stupid*
Person 2: "You got keine ups!"
