play the board

In Texas Hold'em, using the five community cards on the board as your best hand, disregarding your hole cards.

If the community cards are all hearts and nobody has one in their hands, everyone plays the board and splits the pot.

check-raise

(v) In poker, if you have a great hand but worry that if you bet, nobody will call -- you check through and wait for someone to assume you missed too. When they bet to scare you off, you raise them, resulting in a larger pot.

Check-raising only works if you're first to act and you're the only person who made a hand.

the suits

Slightly negative reference for the executives or management of a company, because they are paid better and dress more formally than the employees.

"I work twice as hard as the suits and get paid half as much."

yeah yeah

Sarcastic way of saying you've heard enough of someone, usually their excuses. They need to get to the point or just shut up.

- "... and then I had to stop and get gas, and the traffic ..."
- "Yeah yeah, you're late."

fair and square

Justly, precisely, or in an honest way and without any doubt.

We won the game fair and square.
She hit me fair and square on the nose.
