To 'see' (aka 'call') is to match the bet and stay in the game. At the end of the game, you may have to pay to 'see' your opponents hand.

A 'flush' is five cards of the same suit. To 'pass' is to indicate you're not willing to stay in the game or that you cannot open in the case of draw poker with qualifications. The 'kitty' is space on the table where bets are placed, usually in the center so all players can see it.

The 'ante' is what it costs to get into each game. To 'shuffle' is to mix the cards well for the next deal. The 'deck' is all of the cards in the game. To 'raise' is to increase a previous player's bet, which new total is the requirement to stay in the game. 'Trips' is an expression used for three of a kind, short for triples.

At times 'one-eyed jacks' (hearts and spades) may be named as wild cards.

A 'full house' is a poker hand that is made of three of a kind and a pair (aka a 'full boat'). A 'straight' is five cards in numerical sequence, whereas a 'straight flush' is the same plus all cards are in the same suit. A 'check' says that you do not wish to bet, and the choice moves on to the player on your left who may check, bet or fold. Aces are generally considered 'high' - that is, they beat all other cards, but there are also games in which the ace may be used as a low card, or a one.
