upstuck

A poker term invented by @PhilLaak in 2015 to describe being down on money from your highest value while gambling.

If you were up $8,000 and now you are only up $6,000, then you are 'upstuck' $2,000 even if you only entered the game with $4,000. This creates obvious psychological effects to how people play while gambling despite their actual buy in.
