Make
To make a hand means that a player has caught the necessary cards to get a hand of some value. Another player may ask, "Did you make your hand?"
Maniac
A player that will continually raise and re-raise without regard to the hand they are holding. Maniacs are feared for their volatility and unpredictability but are not generally strong players.
Muck
- The pile of discarded and burned cards collected in front of the dealer. Any cards in the muck are considered to be dead and should a player’s hand accidentally come in contact with the muck they are automatically ruled dead.
- Muck may also be used to describe folding a hand such as saying, "I mucked my hand."
