Fish - A
poor player often one who seems to gives his money away. It's a
well-known (though not well-followed) rule among good players to not
upset the bad players, because they'll stop having fun and perhaps
leave. Thus the phrase, "Don't tap on the aquarium."
Flop -
The first three community cards, put out face up, all together.
Fold Equity
- The extra value you get from a hand when you force an opponent to
fold. That is, if you don't have to see a showdown, your hand has
more value than if you do.
Foul - A
hand that may not be played for one reason or another. A player with
a foul hand may not make any claim on any portion of the pot.
Example: "He ended up with three cards after the flop, so the dealer
declared his hand foul."
Free Card
- A turn or river card on which you don't have to call a bet
because of play earlier in the hand (or because of your reputation
with your opponents). For instance, if you are on the button and
raise when you flop a flush draw, your opponents may check to you on
the turn. If you make your flush on the turn, you can bet. If you
don't get it on the turn, you can check as well, seeing the river
card for "free."
Free Roll
- One player has a shot at winning an entire pot when he is
currently tied with another player. For instance, suppose you have
Ac-Qc and your opponent has Ad-Qh. The flop is Qs-5c-Tc. You are
tied with your opponent right now, but are free rolling, because you
can win the whole pot and your opponent can't. If no club comes, you
split the pot with him; if it does come, you win the whole thing.

on each particular round is pre-set.
Floor Person -
A
casino employee who seats players and makes decisions.
