(n) A variant of hold'em in which each player starts with four hole cards. The difference between Omaha and hold'em is that each player forms a five-card hand by using only two (no more, no less, but they can be any two) of his hole cards together with only three (no more, no less, but they can be any three) of the five community cards. At the showdown on the end, the player holding the best five-card combination that adheres to the preceding restrictions wins the pot.

(n) 1. A chat term, offsuit, as in KQo. 2. Shorthand, particularly in e-mail and Internet postings, for offsuit. For example, specifying a hold'em hand as KQo means king-queen offsuit, or, frequently, king-queen off.

(n phrase) When splitting a pot, either among tied hands or between the high half and the low half in high-low split games, sometimes a chip is left over, usually of the smallest denomination for the game. That chip is called the odd chip, and various rules come into play to determine which player gets the chip. At Full Tilt Poker, in a high-only game, the pot is split down to the smallest unit in play for that game, and any odd chip goes to the hand closest to the left of the button. For example, the smallest chip in play at a $1/$2 game is a quarter. If two players have identical hands at the showdown in a $10.25 pot, the player closest to the left of the button gets $5.25 and the other player gets $5. In split pot games, when splitting the high half and the low half, the odd chip goes to the high hand. If there are ties in either the high half or the low half, then any odd chip goes to the hand closest to the left of the button.
(adj) In hold'em or seven-card stud, descriptive of the first two cards being of different suits, as opposed to suited. Sometimes shortened to just off.
(n) A chat term, "oh my god!"

(n phrase) Four cards to a straight with no "holes" and with "room" at both ends, such that it can be made by eight cards, as 2-3-4-5 or 7-8-9-10 of mixed suits; the first can be made by any ace or 6 and the second by any 6 or jack. Compare with inside straight.
(n) If there have been no raises when the bets gets to the big blind in a blind game, that player has what is called the option. He can opt to raise, in which case each active player in turn is offered a choice of calling the raise or reraising-or folding. The big blind can also choose not to raise, which stops the betting for that round. The big blind in this option situation is known in poker parlance as a live blind.
