drop the hammer

Poker terminology.
When someone raises early (usually pre-flop if playing Holdem) just to push other players around, and you just can't take that smug grin on his face, you re-raise a ridiculous amount and "drop the hammer." This most often occurs during a Testosterone Fight, and the object is to make the other player put his testosterone hose away and fold. Since it is pre-flop, this has nothing to do with the cards you have, just plain good ol' fashioned balls.

Freytag

Poker Terminology.

A three dimensional pyramid built by poker chips you have won during the course of the game. It is used in lieu of simply putting the chips in stacks because it looks more intimidating.

Taken from "Freytag's Pyramid", a device that outlines the plot for mad literature.
Few players will raise you pre-flop of you have a Freytag.
