Uncle Doc
Five-card stud with a single spit or table card and all like it as wild.
Under the Gun
Being the first person to act, being in the earliest position.
Undercut
1) The final down card being the lowest hole card in low-hole stud. 2) A shuffling technique for preparing a stacked deck. Especially useful for preparing two stacked hands simultaneously.
Underdog
A person or hand who is not mathematically favored to win a pot. For instance, if you flop four cards to your flush, you are not quite a 2:1 underdog to make your flush by the river (that is, you will make your flush about one in three times). See also "dog".
Underpair
A pocket pair of lower value than the lowest card on the board.
Underplay
To make a small bet in the hope of drawing other players into the pot.
Unlimited Poker
Poker in which no limit is placed on bets or raises.
Up
1) The ace of anteing. 2) The higher of two pair- e.g., queens and tens is queens up.
Up Card
A card that is dealt face-up.
Up the Creek
A game in which split-whiskered kings are wild.
Uphill
To chase or try to outdraw a better hand.
Utah
See Cincinnati.
Vaca
Cow; usually preceded by la.
Valet
Jack (the card); comes from French.
Valle Card
Any 3, 5, or 7; comes from the game of panguingue, in which those cards have value (which is the meaning of the word valle) and for which other players pay a player who melds them.
Value
As in "bet for value". This means that you would actually like your opponents to call your bet (as opposed to a bluff). Generally it's because you have the best hand. However, it can also be a draw which, given enough callers, has a positive expectation.
Variance
A measure of the up and down swings your bankroll goes through. Variance is not necessarily a measure of how well you play. However, the higher your variance, the wider swings you'll see in your bankroll.
Verbal Bet
Oral bet.
Verbal Declaration
Oral declaration.
Vest Holdout
A kind of holdout machine. A vest holdout is worn under a thief's coat. Also called breastworks.
Victory Rip
1) In a draw game, at the showdown, spreading your hand triumphantly. (It's usually done in the same manner that a blackjack or poker dealer spreads an entire deck fanned face up on the table in front of her. Spreading one's hand in this fashion, by the way, is something of a needle, and is not practiced by a refined player, who, when he has an obvious powerhouse, gently and diffidently turns it face up on the table.) 2) A similar method of showing down in any form of poker.
Victory Roll
Victory rip.
Video Poker Machine
A computerized slot machine (video slot machine) based on draw poker (but not really a form of poker), with card symbols, on which players try to make certain poker hand combinations, a casino game that can sometimes be beaten by skill, the fastest-growing form of mechanized gambling.
Vigorish
House take; time; rake.
Village People
Four queens.
Visible Cards
These are cards dealt face up to each Player. Players use these cards to complete a five-card combination.
