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.

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.

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.

bill frist

Senator fighting to make sure no family is hurt by any form of gambling other than horse racing, lotteries, and fantasy sports.

monster

A promotion on Party Poker that takes extra rake from cash games and puts it into the prize pool of a huge donkament to be held over Memorial Day Weekend of 2007. Whinging among cash game players is commonplace because of the money it is costing them. Donkeys like the Monster because donkeys like jackpots. Tournament players like the Monster because they are the recipients of all the free money from the cash game players. Despite threats to move to Pokerstars, traffic on Party Poker is as strong as ever.

50 cents of monster rake out of a 5 dollar pot in 100NL? That's insane. Why does anyone play these tables?

It depends on what your definition of the word is is.
