Ace High
A five-card hand containing an ace but no pair; beats a king-high, but loses to any pair or above.
Aces Full
A full house with three aces and any pair.
Aces Up
Two pairs, one of which is aces.
Action
Bets and raises. "If a third heart hits the board and there's a lot of action, you have to assume that somebody has made the flush."
Active Player
Any player who is still in the pot.
Advertise
To make a bluff with the deliberate intention of being exposed as a loose player.
All-In
To run out of chips while betting or calling. In table stakes games, a player may not go into his pocket for more money during a hand. If he runs out, a side pot is created in which he has no interest. However, he can still win the pot for which he had the chips. Example: "Poor Bob - he made quads against the big full house, but he was all-in on the second bet."
American Airlines
Term used for pair of aces.
Ante
A small portion of a bet contributed by each player to seed the pot at the beginning of a poker hand. Most hold'em games do not have an ante; they use "blinds" to get initial money into the pot.
