Other Terminology
All-In - Betting all of your remaining currency on a single hand. The bet can still be split to Win/Lose like any other bet in the game, although some players insist that it should only apply to betting one way or the other and such a bet cannot be split in any way.
Devil's Deuce - A nickname for the Deuce of Hell, typically considered just a catchy slang term.
Hero's Gauntlet - A tactic of betting only to win and playing heavily to back it up.
Hunting The Three - Slang for deliberately searching out the three sixes of the Hell suit in an attempt to gain at least a Pure hand, if not the Pure Five-of-a-Kind. The tactic became so pervasive among amateur players that it became synonymous with a "wild goose chase".
Satan's Gambit - A tactic of consistently, deliberately playing and betting to lose in order to come out ahead in the game.
Showdown - The laying down of cards at the end of all betting. Each player lays down his hand (in the appropriate layout if playing by the Rule of Order), creating whatever hand is possible using five of his six available cards. The sixth card is turned face-down and generally never seen by the other players.
