steel wheel

In hi/lo split poker games such as Omaha Hi/Lo or Stud Hi/Lo, a hand consisting of the ace, two, three, four, and five of the same suit. It is simultaneously the best possible low hand (5-4-3-2-A) and a very strong high hand (straight flush), and will therefore almost always win at least 3/4 of the pot. Wheel refers to any 5 high straight, the flush is what makes it a "steel" wheel.
Last time I got quads playing Omaha on Pokerstars, someone had a steel wheel and he ended up scooping the pot.

A word that, despite being among the most common in the language, not everyone is sure of the meaning of.
It depends on what your definition of the word is is.

donkey bet

Going allin when you have 1500 chips and the blinds are still at 10/20
It's the first hand of a $1 tournament, and one of the players has a great hand, like ace-ten offsuit, so he immediately donkey bets all his chips all in.

donkament 

A donkament is a poker game where everyone starts with the same number of chips, and then plays poker until someone has accumulated all the chips. Donkaments are known for having a large number of unskilled players as compared to cash games. For example, while many cash game players may fold QQ preflop, this hand should never be folded preflop in a donkament because people will go all in with a lot more hands than just AA and KK.
I got allin preflop with AA, and this guy called me with 7-2 offsuit. Lol donkaments.

ace magnets 

In Texas Holdem, a hand consisting of two Kings. They are called ace magnets because more often than not there will be an Ace on the flop, meaning anyone with an ace in their hand now has a pair of aces which beats your pair of kings.
I lose so much money with ace magnets I should start folding them preflop.
