flat call 

In poker, the instance in which a player with a very powerful hand calls instead of raising.

Jose Contreras: I flat called when I hit my trips on the flop and then raised on the turn... when Mr. T saw my hand he lunged at me in a fury.
Bruce Lee: Jesus, Mr. T is mentally unstable.

gutshot

See belly buster.
Straight draw in which only one card will complete your hand, a.k.a. an inside straight draw. For example, you complete a gutshot straight when an eight is dealt to complete a 7-8-9-10-J straight.

Jose Contreras: Ray Lewis made the gutshot straight on the turn, that lucky bastard.
Bruce Lee: If you ever call Ray Lewis a bastard again he will mutilate you and then proceed to eat your children.

isolation 

In poker, a technique in which a player reraises a weaker player's bet, trying to play him heads-up (one on one) by making it expensive for any other players to call.

Bruce Lee: LaVar Arrington used isolation on Warren Sapp and forced Urlacher, Shaq and Busta Rhymes to fold.
Jose Contreras: LaVar is a fucking monster at poker, I'd never sit down with him.

ladies

Jose Contreras: I had the ladies, but Ghostface Killah had the American Airlines, so I lost 50 bucks.

overpair 

In poker, a pocket pair above the common cards in the middle. For example, if the flop is J-6-2, then pocket queens would be an overpair.

Jose Contreras: Dikembe Mutombo seems to always have an overpair when I play with him...
Bruce Lee: You're just bitter because he always takes you for thousands of bucks... he's an amazing player, give him his due.
