mark my words

Phrase said before or after a prediction or declaration to mean: "You should write down what I say (mentally or literally), because it will come true or be something unforgetable."

Usually said in warning or in a betting situation, so that you can win a wager or say I told you so later.

Intended to convey great conviction, as though your statement could be doubted or denied by others.

"Mark my words, that car will break down on the way there."

"If you go, mark my words, your stuff will be on the lawn when you get back."

"That marriage won't last a year; mark my words."

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.

Open-ended

In poker, four cards in a row that need either one higher or lower to complete a straight. (_,6,7,8,9,_)

Opposite of gut-shot (four out of five cards in a row that are missing the center number).

Open-ended straight draws have better odds because there are eight cards that can make your straight. Gut-shots are less likely to suceed because there are only four cards that can help you.

I was chip leader and open-ended. I didn't want the guy to double up, but he was like all-in with the blind, so I called it and caught the 5 on the river. Busted his pocket rockets.

manipuporn

Manipulating images to make them pornographic, either by positioning figures in obscene positions or by replacing the faces on different bodies engaged in sexual acts.

I cut out Alan Rickman's face and glued it on this picture of Ron Jeremy for my manipuporn collection. That's some hot shit right there.

bob barker

Texas hold'em poker hole cards: King of spades and 9 of spades. Pun for "spayed K-9" from the traditional Price Is Right show ending reminder to spay or neuter your pet.

"Bob Barker's all in, bitch."

all-in

In no-limit poker, to bet all of your chips as a sign of total confidence in your hand.

If you have a very good hand, go all-in to win the maximum number of chips or to scare off mediocre hands so they won't catch the cards they need to beat yours. If you have a bad hand, you can bluff by going all-in and hope everyone folds.

I went all-in on thirty miles and that river rat caught a runner-runner flush.
